3 Cleanflight supports control of VTX modules.
7 Current support includes
8 1. RTC6705 directly connected to the CPU (maybe via a PCB board interconnect, e.g. SPRACINGF3NEO)
14 If your FC has a button, excluding a BOOT buttons, then it can be used for VTX control.
16 Some boards like the SPRacingF3NEO have both a VTX module and a button.
17 Other boards like the SPRacingF3MINI have multiple buttons.
21 While the VTX button is held the STATUS 2 LED will flash N times per second indicating the action that will be taken when the button is released. The flashing starts as soon as the button is held. e.g. You press the button, count flashes and then release as appropriate.

37 The VTX button works with ALL VTX systems including onboard RTC6705, Tramp and SmartAudio.
40 If the VTX can be turned off then POWER 0 will turn off the VTX and POWER 1 will set the VTX into it's lowest power output.
41 If the VTX cannot be turned off then POWER 0 will set the VTX into it's lowest power output.
