FAQ

General
What processor is used in Manifold 3?
Manifold 3 uses the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX (100 TOPS) module.
What makes up the 100 TOPS computing power of Manifold 3?
Manifold 3's 100 TOPS computing power consists of 60 TOPS from the GPU and 40 TOPS from the DLA, allowing for parallel algorithm acceleration on both the GPU and DLA.
What can I do with Manifold 3?
You can install application packages from the third-party ecosystem, such as software for power grid, river, and pipeline inspections, to enhance efficiency in specific scenarios.
If you are a developer, you can use the PSDK open interface and CUDA computing components provided by Manifold 3 to develop AI applications for drones. You can then apply for mass production review and listing in DJI's Ecosystem Products Catalogue to promote your application.
What is the power consumption of Manifold 3?
The power consumption of Manifold 3 is highly dependent on the nature of the tasks being executed. Under direct sunlight and an ambient temperature of 40° C (104° F), Manifold 3 can achieve a maximum power consumption of up to 33 W. As the ambient temperature rises, the maximum power consumption supported by the system's thermal design will decrease.
Which drone platforms is Manifold 3 compatible with?
Manifold 3 is compatible with DJI Matrice 400 drone platform.
Where can Manifold 3 be mounted?
Manifold 3 can be mounted on the underside mounting points and brackets of DJI Matrice 400 and it only supports E1, E2, and E3 ports of the E-Port V2, with E3 being the recommended option.
Which adapter models are supported by USB-C interface Power Delivery (PD)?
Manifold 3's Power Delivery (PD) supports DJI 65W portable charger, DJI 100W desktop charger, as well as Apple 61W and 140W USB-C power adapters.
Does the USB-C interface support HDMI or DisplayPort (DP) output?
No, it does not.
Which USB expansion docks are compatible with the USB-C interface?
Manifold 3's USB-C interface supports the UGREEN CM512 Type-C Dock (without display output), as well as the Anker (A8380) 553 PowerExpand 8-in-1 USB-C Hub (without display output).
What types of external hard drives are supported by Manifold 3's USB-C interface?
Manifold 3 supports USB-C flash drives and portable SSDs, and can also connect USB-A external hard drives via a USB-C OTG cable.
How to upgrade the firmware of Manifold 3?
You can install and connect Manifold 3 to the drone platform, and use a USB cable to connect the platform to a computer via the configuration port. After downloading the system firmware package from the official website, you can use DJI Assistant 2 to install or upgrade the system firmware offline.

System firmware upgrade is only supported on the Windows version of DJI Assistant 2; the Mac version is not supported.
How to export the data files from Manifold 3?
You can export data files via the following three options:
1. Install and connect Manifold 3 to the drone platform. Connect an external USB flash drive or portable SSD to Manifold 3 via its USB-C interface, and then use the DJI Pilot app to choose the relevant application and export your data.
2. Install and connect Manifold 3 to the drone platform. Connect the drone platform and your computer with a USB-C cable. Open DJI Assistant 2 to automatically mount Manifold 3's system file directory, then use Windows Explorer to select and copy the data you want to export.
3. Install and connect Manifold 3 to the drone platform. Use third-party applications to export data, such as downloading playback from the Pilot media library or transferring data to a specified cloud platform. Follow the third-party application's instructions for detailed export methods.
If you are a developer, in addition to the three aforementioned means, you can also transfer data during the development and debugging phase through SSH or SFTP protocol channels.
Manifold PSDK Application
What is the Manifold PSDK Application?
The Manifold PSDK Application is software developed for Manifold 3 based on the DJI PSDK interface. It is also known as the Manifold Application, and its installation packages are suffixed with ".dpk".
How to obtain and install the Manifold PSDK Application?
You can refer to the DJI Ecosystem Products Catalogue or consult local dealers or integrators to obtain commercially produced third-party Manifold PSDK Application installation packages. Follow the manufacturer's manual to install or upgrade via the DJI Pilot app. Alternatively, you can consult DJI ecosystem developers to customize and develop applications based on your requirements.
How to develop the Manifold PSDK Application?
You can visit https://developer.dji.com/payload-sdk to read the PSDK Quick Start and development documentation. Refer to the Function Set and API documentation to develop complete applications, and apply for mass production and commercial use in accordance with quality testing requirements.
How to list your developed Manifold PSDK application in the DJI Ecosystem Products Catalogue?
You can visit https://enterprise.dji.com/ecosystem to submit an application for certifying your ecosystem solution as per the requirements. Once your application is approved, it can be listed in the DJI Ecosystem Products Catalogue.
