"You know what also might be interesting, is the use of a Sony HDR-TD10 3D camera and the Sony HMZT1 Head Mounted 3D display, but I am sure that would all just compound the transmission issues."

Ok, I have no rc experience. I am looking into arducopter. I have no interest in flying it via remote control. I want to use my pc. So for that I would need the xbee kit and mavlink? How does the pc…Continue

Helldesk replied to killervette's discussion One more - FPV in HD???"I would be interested in it "just because". ;-) Other reasons might include live coverage - imagine being able to stream good quality live video to a big video screen in some event!
I wonder how much it would cost to make a minimalistic…"
Scott Plunkett replied to killervette's discussion One more - FPV in HD???"I have been working on a solution that will do this. It is pretty expensive. I have a MicroHard VIP5800 radio that is essentially an ethernet bridge with a high speed serial sideband. I am taking HDMI video output, doing H264…"
Helldesk replied to killervette's discussion One more - FPV in HD???"While it records, it can output standard definition video, with some delay. I do not know what kind of a delay it has, but I hear it's not fatally high for calm flying. Still, it has some delay and it's not even HD."
killervette replied to killervette's discussion One more - FPV in HD???"How about the Gopro. I have been reading it can record and stream at the same time. I assume its a reduced resolution that is streamed?"
Helldesk replied to killervette's discussion One more - FPV in HD???"HD video requires a lot of bandwidth and processing power to get it down from the aircraft and displayed with a latency that is still usable to fly by. I haven't yet seen solutions for this but people are working on it...

Michael Pursifull replied to killervette's discussion Getting started questions"Yes, the xbee uses spread spectrum. Unless your video transmitter steps on the entire band, you can use both at the same time. You might get some interference, depending on how bad your inter mod or VSWR is. "
Michael Pursifull replied to killervette's discussion Getting started questions"Telemetry is via the MAVlink protocol. This is sent to/from Serial3, the most common method is attaching an Xbee radio and adaptor to this TTL.
"Remote Control" comes in two forms, via the RC receiver, and via the ground…"
Allen Babb replied to killervette's discussion Getting started questions"If it has a trainer port, then it should.
I don't have any new or working transmitters with me. :( But I did see at least one that had a DIN socket, which should be the trainer port."
killervette replied to killervette's discussion Getting started questions"Will the PCTx work with the Turnigy 9x Controller?"
killervette replied to killervette's discussion Getting started questions"also, with the control and telemtry data, could i still use the 900mhz band to send video. I am in the US."
killervette replied to killervette's discussion Getting started questions"Well first, thank you so much for the detailed responses. That helps me a ton. As for the 3rd TTL port, are you saying i have to choose either telemetry or remote control? Can i not have both? PCTx looks like a good solution too."
Michael Pursifull replied to killervette's discussion Getting started questions"Under windows, you will need to download and install the FTDI driver to use the Xbee adaptor. Instructions are in the manual for setting up the Xbee. Follow the instructions carefully."
Michael Pursifull replied to killervette's discussion Getting started questions"You will need an RC transmitter and receiver to operate the ArduCopter, if only to arm the motors and perform certain tuning functions and auto-trim. You can get a cheap transmitter and receiver for about $60. You should also really have the…"
Allen Babb replied to killervette's discussion Getting started questions"People have been looking into using PCTx to have the PC talk directly to their transmitter. Yes, for this setup you will still a transmitter.
You can use an Xbee to talk directly to the copter, but 1. I don't think direct…"
