FAT SHARK TX5M.1 VTX Module for Shark Byte System
Shark Byte Video Transmitter TX5S.1
The Shark Byte TX5S.1 is a digital HD 720p 60fps short range video transmitter
capable of delivering up to 200mw on 5.8GHz. The TX5S.1 works with the Shark
Byte RX5.1
goggle module to transmit video, and a remote controller to control the
parameters for transmitter and camera wirelessly.
The Shark Byte TX5S.1 consists of a Runcam Nano HD camera and a video
transmitter (VTX) made up of a single PCBs.
Power input range is 7V – 26V (2S – 6S). A large capacitor (220+μF) is
required to be mounted in parallel with the power input connector to avoid
voltage spikes (and subsequent
damage) to the VTX.

Adjusting VTX and Camera Parameters with the Keypad
The VTX or Camera parameters can also be set with the attached keypad.
Camera:
The 5-way joystick button (1) is used exclusively for camera settings. Settings and options are displayed on-screen on the live video for this configuration mode.
- Press Middle: Enter
- Press Up: Up
- Press Down: Down
- Press Left: Left
- Press Right: Right
VTX:
The select button (2) and 7 segment LED display (3) are used exclusively for
setting VTX parameters.
To change channel:
- Short press the select button (2), the 7 segments LED display (3) will show the current channel number (1-8), another short press will cause it will change to next channel. If no changes are made after 15 seconds, the 7 segments LED display (3) will turn off and the setting will be saved.
To change power level:
- Press and hold the select button (2) for 3 seconds, the 7 segment LED display (3) will blink ‘P’ then show current power level (1.=25mW, 2.=200mW,3.=500mW). To make a change, short press the select button (2) to cycle to the next power level. If no changes are made after 15 seconds, the 7 segments LED display (3) will turn off and the setting will be saved.
To select Low Power (LP) mode:
- Press and hold the select button (2) for 10 seconds, the 7 segment LED display (3) will blink ‘P’ then ‘L’, show “O” (ON) or ‘F’ (OFF). If no changes are made after 15 seconds, the 7 segment LED display (3) will turn off and the setting will be saved.
