long term spectrum™Users will feel right at home the first time they use the iX20. That's because it's Spektrum AirWare™The Touch App program is based on the same Spektrum AirWare firmware used today. The huge color touchscreen interface makes navigating menus and changing settings even easier than before.
20 CANALES
You may or may not be the proud owner of the most feature-packed model in the world. Use just four channels or all 20. The iX20's intuitive programming uses simple language and logic to help you easily set up and operate any type of aircraft, customizing and adding features as you please. With his XPlus™Channel Expandability The iX20 also allows you to add up to eight additional channels using an X-Plus Channel Expansion Module (SPMXP8000, sold separately). Simply plug the module into a compatible receiver, connect it to the iX20, then assign the additional channels to the features you want.
CONFIGURATION MENU
The iX20 allows you to customize the menus to the specific capabilities of the receiver, adding or removing items that are relevant or irrelevant. Simply go to the receiver list drop down menu and use the on/off buttons to turn items on or off (and to select the number of channels if the desired receiver is not on the list).
CONVENIENT WI-FI, BLUETOOTH AND USB CONNECTIVITY
When connected to Wi-Fi, the iX20 transmitter gets even smarter. spectrum™AirWare™Touch app update notifications are automatic; In addition, you can download model configurations and add third-party applications. The iX20 can connect to almost any Bluetooth device. That means you can use wireless headphones or even your phone's earpiece to receive voice alerts. Music, voice alerts and more are privately heard in superb clarity. A micro USB port allows you to charge the internal lithium-ion battery using a standard USB to micro USB cable. It can also be used to connect flight controls, detect accessories, and conveniently connect to your PC or laptop.
STAY CONNECTED THROUGH SMART TECHNOLOGY
The iX20 is the ultimate tool to ensure that your valuable aircraft and equipment remain in top condition. It offers built-in telemetry support that can give you real-time information on critical data like battery voltage, engine temperature, and more. The transmitter is compatible with installations using telemetry-enabled receivers and sensors, and is compatible with those using Spektrum's innovative all-in-one telemetry.™Smart batteries, ESCs and receivers with multiple displays and alerts.
The iX20 takes raw telemetry data in real time and makes it much easier to display it graphically with indicators that put important information into clear, concise context. With the voice alert system, you can program the iX20 to alert you when certain telemetry readings reach or exceed limits you define. You can also have it get a stream of telemetry readings with the push of a button.
Customizable telemetry dashboard pages and custom display fields let you set what data you want to see and arrange it the way you want, with customizable cell size and auto-resizing text.
JUST "TALK" TO HIM
Just talk to the iX20 and it will listen. New Android-enabled speech-to-text functionality lets you access and configure custom telemetry alerts, reports, and more through speech recognition software.
PROGRAMMABLE VOICE ALERTS
Keep track of important information without taking your eyes off what you're flying. The iX20 programmable voice alert system can announce the selected flight mode or report telemetry information automatically or on demand. When an alarm sounds, you don't have to look at the screen to see what's going on. The iX20 can tell you. Create any voice alert by simply typing the words.
In addition to a built-in speaker, the iX20 has a headphone jack that allows you to monitor voice alerts with headphones so you don't disturb other pilots. You can also use Bluetooth to connect to a wireless headset or your phone's handset.
24 PROGRAM MIXES
The iX20 has the largest number of program mixes ever offered on a spectrum radio. There is a curve available for each position in each mix. For example, if you assign a combination of flight modes, you can have up to 10 flight modes; They also have up to ten different curves for total flexibility. One curve for each position provides much more flexibility and power for complex mixes and can reduce the number of program mixes required to achieve the desired setup.
PROGRAMATION ADVANCE
Forward Programming is a Spectrum technology that allows you to wirelessly configure smart receivers and related products directly from the transmitter. It is easy. Direct programming uses the existing two-way communication link between a transmitter and receiver to perform the same sophisticated programming that previously required a cable, Bluetooth dongle, PC or mobile phone. Plus, direct programming uses intuitive Spectrum AirWare™Firmware language to make it easy to use.
FINE ADJUSTMENT OVER THE TURN
Easily adjust programmed features in-flight without awkwardly accessing a specific menu or landing just to change a setting. On-The-Fly (OTF) allows you to conveniently adjust mixes and other programmed values "on the fly" simply by using any of the four additional trim controls (not the main trim controls) you select.
INNOVATIVE TOUCH SHIFT
Turn timers on or off or activate scheduled voice alerts with just a tap. In an industry first, the iX20 uses capacitive touch technology so that any of the ten toggle switches, I-Switch button or gimbal sticks respond to the gentle touch of a finger and are assigned programmed mechanical movements without interruption.
SHARE MODEL FILES
The iX20's huge internal memory - big enough for 250 models - means you'll rarely have to juggle models between the transmitter's memory and SD card or Bluetooth storage devices. Still, transferring model programs with the iX20 and other Spektrum radios is easy and seamless. You can easily switch models between "G2" systems and iX series radios via SD card or Bluetooth. Note: The iX20 can import SPM and iSPM file types, but can only export iSPM file types.
ANTENNA DIVERSITY SYSTEM
Multiple built-in antennas ensure RF performance no matter how the iX20 transmitter is oriented during flight. In addition to the visible antenna, another is built into the transmitter handle. It is a proven effective system that improves signal reception while reducing polarization.
INTEGRATED CAMERA
A camera is built into the iX20 transmitter and can be used to capture still images and video. The lens is located in the center of the back of the transmitter. It's easy to take pictures of your own aircraft and add them to the model details menu.
CROSSFIRE MODULE SUPPORT
Take the iX20 even further when you explore what the additional built-in serial port has to offer. It's a next-level connection that allows you to equip the iX20 transmitter with an alternative RF system like TBS Crossfire CRSF protocol technology and still enjoy ultra-low latency performance.
WIRELESS TRAINER LINK
Spectrum's unique functionality™Wireless Trainer Link gives iX20 users the ability to connect wirelessly to other Spektrum transmitters. It's hassle free. Once linked to another transmitter or component, ModelMatch™The technology allows the iX20 to reconnect without having to go through the pairing process again.
With Wireless Trainer Link you can:
- Wireless "Buddy Box" with another DSMX®/DSM2®Transmitter when someone is being taught to fly.
- Assign gimbal functions to a second "camera" transmitter when flying a camera drone so you can focus on avoiding obstacles and maintaining line of sight while the videographer lines up the shot
- Connection with specially equipped spectrum™FPV headset for wireless control of head tracking.
