At CES last January, DJI demonstrated a device that caught my attention, RoboMaster. This device is a second destination for Mavic video to be received wirelessly, then displayed on TV via HDMI cable. This device has major league potential to improve relations with the public by letting the masses enjoy the thrill of flight, real time, on a big screen. Just think what you could do at parties, social functions, events or destinations by flying safely away from people, but those people could see your aerial views of things like a sail boat race, desert motorcycle race, search and rescue, etc. Having an easy way to display on TV in an event tent is unique, while the Mavic pilot is blocks away navigating the craft to capture the POI. I sure hope DJI sells the RoboMaster receiver soon, it would really help with the politics and public relations concerning drones, and open the eyes and imagination of the public in a big way.
If you Google "RoboMaster", this product appears to be a product that came from a DJI robotics organization, and I assume it performed so well that DJI decided used the same communications protocol (Ocu-Sync) in the Mavic. That may explain why Mavic communications is so different from P4P and I2. I'm pretty sure this RoboMaster receiver existed before Mavic, but that's just a guess. If you're going to NAB show in Vegas this month, look for them to use the same RoboMaster unit to demonstrate Mavic, and check it out. DJI doesn't talk about it, but it's just sitting there in the flight booth with the HDMI cable running to it. It's pretty amazing to have multiple receivers from a single video transmission from the air, Wifi drones can't do that due to TCP/IP that's inherant in Wifi technology, supporting only point to point communications.
