MVX VRX Ground Unit
Product Description
The ModalAI VRX is a digital, encrypted FPV video receiver for ModalAI VTX-equipped systems. It delivers under 35 ms glass-to-glass latency on low-latency settings and 45 ms typical, with DisplayPort-over-USB-C output, and supports real-time switching between EO and IR streams from the aircraft. A single VRX interfaces with one UAS, and multiple VRX units can view the same aircraft simultaneously.
The VRX is U.S.-made on ModalAI hardware, uses 256-bit encrypted digital video, and is on the Blue UAS Framework list.
The VRX is part of ModalAI’s FPV video transmission system. For the full picture of what goes into an American-made FPV build, see FPV drone components.
