Video receiver GEPRC MATEN 5.8G 2.5W VTX PRO

The GEPRC MATEN 5.8G 2.5W VTX PRO is a high-power analog video transmitter engineered for specialized long-range FPV operations within the standard 5.8GHz spectrum. Delivering 5 adjustable power stages up to a high-penetration 2500mW output ceiling, it guarantees exceptional signal propagation, dense obstacle penetration, and maximum link reliability. Housed inside an updated high-strength CNC-machined aluminum alloy chassis finished in silver for optimized passive heat rejection, the assembly incorporates an integrated active internal micro turbo fan for dual-action thermal management. Outfitted with a wide 7V to 36V voltage tolerance, an integrated microphone, and an expansive 72-channel matrix, this VTX features dual structural mounting options and supports the standardized IRC Tramp protocol for effortless remote parameter tuning.

Changelog Updates

January 12, 2024: Internal firmware and RF core mapping revised, expanding the available transmission spectrum from 48 to 72 selectable channels.

March 8, 2024: Legacy red anodized chassis variant officially discontinued. Form factor updated to a high-efficiency silver alloy casing designed specifically to lower core operating temperatures and maximize thermal dissipation.

Features

High-Output Power Scaling: Outfitted with 5 adjustable power steps capable of stepping from stealth PIT mode up to a powerful 2500mW (2.5W) maximum output, making it ideal for specialized deep-range aircraft tracking.

Dual-Action Thermal Management: Combines an optimized precision-milled silver CNC aluminum heat dissipation armor casing with an active internal micro turbo fan to handle rapid thermal loads.

IRC Tramp Telemetry Interface: Seamlessly integrates with standard IRC Tramp protocol fields, allowing pilots to modify video channels, bands, and power steps directly through the Betaflight OSD.

High-Acoustic Onboard Microphone: Features a built-in miniature microphone transmitting real-time motor and environmental audio telemetry straight to the pilot's audio receiver.

Expansive Frequency Spectrum: Operates across a massive 72-channel matrix, providing ultimate frequency flexibility to easily bypass ambient signal overcrowding and multi-pilot interference.

Intelligent Over-Heat Safety: Built-in temperature control monitoring actively safeguards internal processing circuits by throttling RF output stages if thermal safety thresholds are crossed to prevent high-temperature burning.

Single-Button Interface Logic: Features a simplified physical control button paired with 3 bright LED diagnostic indicators for instantaneous, tool-free field adjustments.

Broad Voltage Compatibility Matrix: Supports a wide input voltage corridor from 7V to 36V DC, enabling hassle-free direct power integration straight from 2S to 8S LiPo battery mainlines.

Dedicated Camera Power Rail: Features a clean, regulated 5V output line designed specifically to supply clean power to onboard camera modules or auxiliary cooling hardware.

Dual Mounting Compatibility: Integrated structural footprint natively accommodates both 20x20mm and 30.5x30.5mm mounting layout configurations with M2 bolt clearance.

Notes

Before use install the antenna. Running a high-power VTX without an antenna will cause instant, catastrophic damage to the RF amplifier stage.

Fly with constant airflow and in a well-ventilated environment to prevent overheating. Install an additional cooling fan if operating in confined bench spaces.

The 5V output is designed strictly for powering the FPV camera or small auxiliary fans. Never connect the main power supply or battery mainline to this 5V output line, as it will destroy the VTX circuitry.
