# Introduction

The Sentera 65R sensor delivers 65MP resolution, global shutter RGB imagery in a compact package optimized for drone operations. The 65R offers outstanding image quality, fast capture rate, and user-friendly operation. The sensor can be integrated stand-alone or with stabilizing gimbal that is plug-and-play with the most popular drone platforms.

# Variants


	27mm (Standard)
	60mm

*** ## What's The Difference? The lens and lens mount are different. The 27mm standard lens was designed from the ground up specifically for the 65R and provides the highest image quality. The 27mm lens, with its wider FOV, is ideal for large-area mapping and broad coverage applications, reducing the number of images needed per flight. The 60mm lens, with its narrowere FOV and finer GSD, is best suited for high-detail imaging in infrastructure inspections, surveying, and precision measurements where accuracy at a distance is critical. # Specifications ## Specification Sheet Download {% file src="/files/DcEBL0yGLxtUWKkloxKM" %} ## Key Specifications | Size | 2.5” x 2.78” x 4.19” | | -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Resolution | 9344px by 7000px | | Shutter | Global | | Metadata | Stamped at time of capture | | Weight (sensor only) | 330g | | Weight (with gimbal) | \~600g (connector & lens dependent) | | Power | 12W Typical, 15W Max 10.5 - 26V Input Range | | Image Format | JPEG, RAW | | Capture Rate | 3Hz (sustained) | | Storage | 512 GB Internal SSD (PCIe NVME) | | Interfaces | USB-C, Gigabit Ethernet, Expansion Port | | Supported Protocols | DJI, MAVlink V1 & V2 | | Video |

# File Structure ## Introduction The 65R uses an internal SSD to store the captured data. This article will describe the file storage structure. *** ## File Structure The 65R file structure is as follows: **data > snapshots > session folders > rgb > image files** The session folders are labeled as YYYY-MM-DD\_HH-MM-SS. Where YYYY-MM-DD is the date that the imagery was collected on, and HH-MM-SS is the UTC time that the session folder created at (when the 6X status lights turned green). {% hint style="info" %} If the 65R is power cycled between flights over a single area, there will be a session folder for each power up and session start of the camera. i.e. the imagery will be split between each folder. {% endhint %}

Inside of each session folder is a sub folder labeled rgb. This folder contains the the imagery.

If a session is started, the 65R is ready. If a session is not started automatically the 65R may not be ready. However, a session can be started manually if desired. ### Session control is displayed in 2 states: #### Session In Progress The 65R has detected that it is ready to begin collecting imagery. The session start criteria is based on the configuration of the 65R.

#### Start Session The 65R did not automatically start a session.

To start a session manually: 1. Name the session in the text input box, or leave the default web\_session name. 2. Press the Start Session button. 3. Verify the status lights on the 65R turn solid green. {% hint style="warning" %} Starting a session manually can be useful for ground testing. Starting a session manually before a flight is not recommended as the 65R may not have the telemetry information necessary for successful data capture. {% endhint %} ## Trigger Control The 65R can be manually triggered using the Capture Image button in the Trigger Control field. This is useful for ground testing, or when manual image capture is applicable.

Press the Capture Image button (a session must be started) and the 6X will take an image (1 image per imager). The status LEDs on the 65R will briefly flash from green to white. The 65R can also be manually triggered using the physical pushbutton trigger on the side of the sensor. *** ## Calibration Control This is not used for the 65R sensor. This feature is the result of the shared code base of the 6X series sensors and the 65R sensor. Calibration is not function for the 65R. *** # Configuration ## Introduction The configuration page is used to change: * How the 65R interacts with the aircraft it is connected to. * The triggering method In most cases the 65R is preconfigured based on what aircraft/system the camera is ordered for and the configuration doesn't need to be changed. {% hint style="info" %} If using the Inspired Flight RTK PPK Module please ensure the sensor is set to the Sentera GNSS configuration.

### Trigger Type {% tabs %} {% tab title="Command" %} The Command trigger type is used when the trigger commands come directly from the aircraft autopilot.

No settings are provided for this mode. The sensor will only trigger if it receives a trigger command from MAVLink, the web page, Payload SDK, or the custom Sentera Protocol. {% endtab %} {% tab title="External" %} The External trigger type is used when an external source is used to trigger the 65R. There are 4 options for the external trigger commands. See the details in the table below. #### Rising/Falling Edge

#### Low/High PWM

Mode	Description
Rising Edge	The trigger input must be stable for 50 milliseconds to register as a commanded trigger. This is also known as the mechanical switch debounce period.
Falling Edge	The trigger input must be stable for 50 milliseconds to register as a commanded trigger. This is also known as the mechanical switch debounce period.
Low PWM	The lower value of the PWM TRIGGER input in milliseconds.
High PWM	The higher value of the PWM TRIGGER input in milliseconds.

The trigger input is the TRIGGER signal on connector J2. {% content-ref url="/pages/iLLsqSW4NyFVIN8ilS3n" %} [I/O](/65r-sensor-user-guide/integration-information/i-o) {% endcontent-ref %} {% hint style="info" %} For all modes, the TRIGGER input must be actively driven using 3.3V logic levels. {% endhint %} {% endtab %} {% tab title="Interval" %} The Interval trigger type is used to capture images at a specified time interval rather than distance travelled. The minimum capture interval is 0.333 seconds (3Hz).

{% hint style="warning" %} The sensor will start triggering the moment a session starts, so this may result in images taken on the ground as well as in the air. {% endhint %} {% endtab %} {% tab title="Overlap" %} The Overlap trigger type is used when the the 65R is being powered by an aircraft, not receiving triggers from the aircraft or an external device, and classical overlap settings are used. This is useful for many applications as it removes the need for in depth integration with the aircraft. The 65R in combination with the Light Sensor/GPS will operate without direct communication with the aircraft. Once 65R detects it is more than the minimum altitude above the takeoff point, it begins to capture images and continues to do so to achieve the correct image overlap. Triggering stops when it detects the platform has departed from the minimum altitude. The 65R works with any ground station or flight controller in this mode, as it makes calculations about altitude using the GPS receiver’s measured altitude at takeoff. {% hint style="info" %} This is the standard setting for systems without MAVLink or DJI Skyport. {% endhint %} There are 2 overlap modes: #### Auto Height (most common) The 65R detects the flight altitude (AGL) based on the detected GPS altitude between where the session starts (on the ground) and where the aircraft flies at (survey altitude).

#### Fixed Height The 65R assumes the survey altitude of the aircraft matches the fixed height input in the altitude box.

| Item | Description | | ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Overlap | Changes the frequency of the trigger based on the overlap of the image. Fifty percent overlap means that when the sensor has moved such that 50% of the image is new, an image will be triggered. Use the slider to adjust the overlap percentage in the text box. There are markers present in the slider at settings for typical use cases. | | Altitude Type | Selects whether a fixed altitude is used for calculating overlap, or automatic altitude determined from GPS. | | Atlitide | Selects whether a fixed altitude is used for calculating overlap, or automatic altitude determined from GPS. | | Min AGL | To prevent triggers from occurring while walking around on the ground, a minimum altitude can be set. Any triggers that occur due to the sensor moving around will be blocked if the sensor estimates that its altitude is less than this number. | | Min Distance | If the sensor is flying very low to the ground, the overlap setting may result in very rapid triggers. To prevent a flood of images, a minimum trigger distance can be set. This distance is the minimum distance the sensor must travel before the next trigger can be sent. | | {% endtab %} | | | {% endtabs %} | | # How To Change Configuration ## Navigate to Configuration Page

## Verify Correct Overlap is Shown # Image Adjustment ## Introduction 65R image settings are set by default for the best settings in most use cases. There is also the ability to alter some of the color and exposure settings for custom applications. {% hint style="info" %} Changing these values is not necessary for most applications and may prevent standard analytics from being run. {% endhint %}

### Exposure (Auto)

In most normal usage, the exposure should not need to be adjusted, however if your images are consistently too bright or too dark, the auto-exposure settings can be modified. These settings will change how bright / dark the image is, as well as the shutter speeds and gains used to capture the image. {% tabs %} {% tab title="Exposure Target" %} #### Range 0 - 255 #### Recommended Value 60 #### Description Sets the average pixel value across the entire frame that the auto-exposure attempts to achieve. It is calculated before any ISP corrections are performed. This means that the final image will likely have an average brightness much higher than this target due to vignetting and gamma correction being applied in later steps. Due to this, in general the target value should be kept lower than 100. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Shutter Min" %} #### Range 200 - {Shutter Max} #### Recommended Value 400 #### Description This value is the shortest shutter speed in us (microseconds) that will be used before the camera drops to a lower ISO. If the camera is already running at the lowest ISO, then the shutter speed will go faster until it hits the limit of the sensor. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Shutter Max" %} #### Range {Shutter Min} – 25000 #### Recommended Value 2000 #### Description This value is the longest shutter speed in us (microseconds) the camera will use before increasing the ISO to attempt to stay below this value. For most flights, you should not see a longer shutter speed unless the field has insufficient lighting, forcing the shutter to go longer (see Shutter Unlock). It is recommended to keep this value lower than 3ms (3000us) to avoid motion blur caused by the groundspeed of the UAV. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Shutter Unlock" %} #### Range 100 – 12800 #### Recommended Value 600 #### Description If the ISO gets set to this value or greater by the auto-exposure, then the shutter max value is ignored, allowing the shutter speed to go slower. This is to prevent the camera from using very high gains, which can have worse effects on image quality than the motion blur from a slow shutter speed . It is also useful for taking images indoors, where lighting is insufficient to capture images otherwise. {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ### Exposure (Manual)

In manual exposure mode, the camera does not continuously adjust shutter speed and gain to maintain a target brightness. Instead, the exposure is set directly to a fixed value, which can be useful under consistent lighting conditions when a specific exposure is needed for a repeatable capture setup. {% tabs %} {% tab title="Fixed Exposure" %} #### Range 21 - 49076 #### Recommended Value 2000 #### Description Sets the fixed shutter speed in us (microseconds) used when manual exposure mode is enabled. This value controls how long the sensor collects light for each capture and should be adjusted based on lighting conditions and motion requirements. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Fixed Gain" %} #### Range 100 - 600 #### Recommended Value 100 #### Description Sets the fixed gain multiplier used when manual exposure mode is enabled. A value of 100 is the base ISO setting, while higher values increase sensor gain to compensate for lower light levels at the expense of image noise and quality. {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ### Color Adjustments These settings allow adjustment to the overall brightness, contrast, and saturation of the image without modifying the exposure. They should be used for fine color adjustment if the default settings are not giving the quality of image needed for your application.

{% tabs %} {% tab title="Brightness" %} #### Range -255.0 – 255.0 #### Recommended Value -1.0 #### Description Sets how bright/dark the overall image is. This value is added or subtracted from each pixel. Higher values result in the image looking more washed out, and lower values make it darker. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Contrast" %} #### Range 0.0 – 2.0 #### Recommended Value 1.0 #### Description Adjusts the difference between the light and dark values. This effectively multiplies every value by X. So setting this to 1.1 will take 1.1x each pixel value. For example, if you have a value of 20 and 200 (180 apart) normally, setting contrast to 1.1 will change the values to 22 and 220 (198 apart) effectively increasing the contrast between bright and dark. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Saturation" %} #### Range 0.0 – 2.0 #### Recommended Value 1.0 #### Description Adjusts the vibrancy of the color in the image. This will affect the color and changing this by too much can result in imagery with less ‘true’ color. This increases the ‘contrast’ of each color. For example, if something is bright green, increasing saturation adjusts it to be even more green than a darker green in the same image. {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ### Black Level Camera black level correction is a processing step that removes the sensor’s inherent offset so that pixels with no light correctly map to true black. This correction compensates for dark current, readout offsets, and analog bias which can change continuously during operation (e.g., based on camera temperature).

{% tabs %} {% tab title="Mode" %} #### Range Fixed / Auto #### Recommended Value Auto #### Description Operation in "Auto" mode causes the camera to continuously compensate for changes in black level values. Operation in "Fixed" mode causes the camera to always apply the same bias for black level correction. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Target (Auto)" %} #### Range 10 - 245 #### Recommended Value 16 #### Description This setting is only preset when operating in `Auto` black level mode. This 12-bit value is set to a small positive value so that software tracking of black level can be accomplished. The small black level offset in imagery can be subsequently removed using the `Color Adjustements` setting for `Brightness`. {% endtab %} {% tab title="DOFF (Fixed)" %} #### Range -8192 - 8191 #### Recommended Value -1280 #### Description This setting is only preset when operating in `Fixed` black level mode. This digital offset (DOFF) register value biases black level correction. An increased (i.e., more negative) DOFF value results in additional black level biasing - i.e., on average, pixel values will decrease. {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ### Pipeline (JPG) There are several onboard processing steps that the sensor performs to provide the best data product possible. While we recommend leaving these at their default settings, each of the processing stages can be disabled to get completely unmodified imagery from the sensor. {% hint style="info" %} Switching from RAW output to JPG output will clear all imagery from the camera. {% endhint %}

{% tabs %} {% tab title="Bad Pixel Replacement" %} #### Recommend Enabled #### Description Camera bad pixel replacement is an image processing step that replaces defective sensor pixels (stuck, hot, or dead pixels) with neighboring pixel data. This prevents visible bright or dark specks in the image and improves overall image visual quality. {% hint style="info" %} For execution of bad pixel replacement, additional camera calibration is required over that which is performed by default. Contact Sentera for details. {% endhint %} {% endtab %} {% tab title="Color Correction" %} #### Recommend Enabled #### Description This enables use of the internal color correction matrix on the sensor. The purpose is to compensate for the exact response of the sensor and produce an image with correct color and white balance. Disabling this is not recommended, as the resulting images will appear ‘greenish’ due to the sensitivity profile of the imager. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Gamma Correction" %} #### Recommend Enabled #### Description Enables the use of gamma correction on imagery. Most software expects jpg data to have gamma correction applied, so disabling this is not recommended as the images may appear too dark for most processing. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Image Sharpening" %} #### Recommend Enabled #### Description Enables an image sharpening algorithm to be executed on the imagery. This is done to provide “crisper” imagery with better visual separation of subject matter. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Vingetting Correction" %} #### Recommend RGB: Enabled #### Description Enables onboard correction for lens vignetting effects. This is done by applying a higher gain to the corners and edges of the image where fall off effects due to the lens occur. {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ### Pipeline (RAW) The RAW pipeline outputs 12-bit raw Bayer data as DNG files. These DNG files contain calibration and color science metadata required for downstream processing tools. {% hint style="info" %} Switching from JPG output to RAW output will clear all imagery from the camera. {% endhint %}

It is a very commonly used protocol in the open source drone community. ## 65R OEM 65R supports image metadata tagging and sensor triggering using MAVLink V1 messages. The required serial port configuration for the MAVLink controller is 460800, 8-N-1, and it must be connected to 6X connector J2, pins 1/2 (UART2 TX/RX) with 3.3v signal levels. {% content-ref url="/pages/Q0dehbCPTBUP3rCbHhxD" %} [MAVlink V1](/65r-sensor-user-guide/integration-information/communication-protocol/mavlink/mavlink-v1) {% endcontent-ref %} ## 65R Gimbal The gimbaled 65R supports image metadata tagging and sensor triggering using MAVlink V2 messages. The MAVlink messages are ingested into the gimbal hardware and automatically forwarded to the 65R. {% content-ref url="/pages/0S2pe95TjyugFWmIY9e5" %} [MAVlink V2](/65r-sensor-user-guide/integration-information/communication-protocol/mavlink/mavlink-v2) {% endcontent-ref %} *** ## Integrated Platforms Please see the compatibility settings if you are using a fully integrated platform: {% content-ref url="/pages/DkPsOo50AxZz6y3PRjY1" %} [Freefly Compatibility Settings](/65r-sensor-user-guide/65r-sensor/installation/freefly/freefly-compatibility-settings) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/ctzVTXMyLCu9MWQ4QfYn" %} [Inspired Flight Compatibility Settings](/65r-sensor-user-guide/65r-sensor/installation/inspired-flight/inspired-flight-compatibility-settings) {% endcontent-ref %} *** ## Generic Settings These are generic MAVlink settings for use with the 65R sensor. {% hint style="info" %} For non-gimballed sensors use the listed baud rates.

For DJI M200 and M300 series aircraft, select the type "DJI Skyport - M2XX/M3XX".

For DJI M400 aircraft, select the type "DJI Skyport - M400".

If the 65R is not configured for the required mode, follow the instructions to update the configuration: {% content-ref url="/pages/e5cOPQCznLLL0THgNXnJ" %} [How To Change Configuration](/65r-sensor-user-guide/65r-sensor/configuration-and-settings/configuration/how-to-change-configuration) {% endcontent-ref %} ## Mode Description In this mode, the 65R is tightly integrated with the DJI airframe. This allows for gimbal control and image triggering from the DJI hand controller (e.g., using the FieldAgent iOS application). All data necessary for metadata population is available and automatically written to generated imagery. ## Skyport Hardware Compatibility DJI has produced two versions of Skyport hardware, designated as Skyport-V1 and Skyport-V2. A Sentera gimbal built with Skyport-V2 hardware will contain an etching or sticker on the back of the assembly:

A Sentera gimbal built with Skyport-V1 hardware will not contain a corresponding etching or sticker. DJI aircraft only support specific versions of DJI Skyport hardware. The list of compatibility follows:

DJI Airframe	Skyport Hardware Compatibility
M200/M210 V1	Skyport-V1 only
M200/M210 V2	Skyport-V1 only
M300 RTK	Skyport-V1 and Skyport-V2
M350 RTK	Skyport-V2 only
M400	Skyport-V2 only

Contact Sentera if you want to fly a Sentera gimbal on an incompatible DJI airframe. It is possible for Sentera to modify a gimbal (e.g., Skyport-V1 -> Skyport-V2), but this requires significant hardware modification. {% hint style="info" %} Stand-alone Sentera GPS mode can still be used when operating on an incompatible airframe. However, additional setup will be required, such as configuring the 65R overlap percentage, because the camera is no longer tightly integrated with the airframe. {% endhint %} {% content-ref url="/pages/YpCv3HvZTz7MyNdGF0vm" %} [Stand Alone Mode (External GPS)](/65r-sensor-user-guide/65r-sensor/operation/standard-operating-procedure/stand-alone-mode-external-gps) {% endcontent-ref %} ## Skyport Firmware Compatibility DJI aircraft require a specific version of DJI Skyport firmware to operate successfully. The following list identifies this required firmware:

DJI Aircraft	Skyport-V1 Firmware	Skyport-V2 Firmware
M200/M210 V1	v01.03.00.09	-
M200/M210 V2	v01.04.00.00	-
