HD racing comes to MultiGP Drone Championship is weekend with ProSight and Vuzix goggles

MUNCIE, Ind. - September 2, 2016 - All-digital HD racing comes to the prestigious MultiGP Drone Championship this weekend as the ProSight digital wireless vision system and Vuzix iWear video headphones will be in use by some of the nation's top pilots. Amimon, the developer of the breakthrough ProSight HD, zero latency system, is a platinum sponsor of the event, which features winners of a months-long state and regional series of competitions to determine the fastest drone racer of 2016.

At the 2016 Championships, several pilots will opt for all-digital systems, favoring the crystal clear images and precision viewing enabled by the technology. During these events, selected racers and judging officials will be wearing Vuzix iWear products and operating drones that will be enabled with the ProSight system. The combination of the products delivers an advanced first person view (FPV) HD experience that provides superior vision for racing pilots an extremely wide field of view and effectively zero latency. This enables pilots to make quicker decisions at high speeds.

We are excited to be able to expose the FPV community to the benefits of HD, all digital racing. The performance and quality advantages over analog are significant and will allow pilots to take their flying to the next level, said Chris Thomas, president of the MultiGP. Digital technology will transform our sport and make it more accessible for fans and up-and-coming pilots, which is exactly the type of expansion of interest in FOV racing that we strive to achieve with our organization.

The ProSight all-digital system, which consists of a real-time HD camera, transmitter and receiver, all based on proven technology from CONNEX, significantly reduces transmission signal issues, enabling a new level of immersive experience and precision vision for both the pilots and spectators. The latency-free performance and high quality imaging addresses issues that have plagued first generation analog FPV products, including unclear images, and jammed frequencies caused by simultaneous users. As a result, the ProSight digital system noticeably improves the flying experience.
