Robert Leake commented on Emlid's blog post Introducing Edge - Advanced drone controller with HDMI video input and 5.8GHz data link
"@Mikhail Avkhimenia 

Fantastic! I'm glad to hear it and I'm looking forward to seeing the videos :) 
As for the modules, that's great to hear. So I guess the next question is, what kind of bitrate video could be reasonably expected if we needed to…"
