NTRIP (Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to stream real-time correction data over the internet from a GNSS base station to a rover. This enables centimeter-level positioning accuracy and is commonly used in Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) workflows.

With the introduction of the NTRIP Profile Template feature, users can now configure RTK settings once and share them with other PIX4Dcatch users more easily.

This functionality allows the sharing of NTRIP credentials, RTK rover settings, and antenna offsets. Profiles can also be password protected and exported in bulk.

How to use RTK profile template

In the RTK Device Settings, the RTK profile can be created or imported.

Creating a new RTK profile

To create and export an RTK profile template:

  1. Open RTK Device Settings from the main menu in PIX4Dcatch.
  2. Tap Create.
  3. Fill in the required information, including NTRIP settings and rover offsets.
  4. Tap the export icon  Export.

  5. Choose one or more export options from the menu:
  • Share RTK Rover & Offsets – Shares the RTK rover and the camera offsets of the iPhone Pro model being used when generated the RTK profile.
  • Share NTRIP User & Password – Shares only the server address, username, and password for the NTRIP connection.
  • Share RTK Rover & Offset, and Share NTRIP User & Password - Shares the complete rover configutation.
  • Protect with Password – Secures the profile with a password required at import. Passwords must not include spaces or commas.

Warning: When using third-party applications such as Zeno Connect or Trimble Mobile Manager, the only available option is to protect the profile with a password. Additionally, ensure the RTK settings in the third-party app match the imported profile in PIX4Dcatch.
