HD video for UAV's

3689522281?profile=originalI keep asking myself why this cannot be done, and so far i have not found an answer i can believe. So i bought a commercial HD Video/Audio sender for home use and plugged in my gopro as a video source, and my flat screen TV as the player, and i connected up these devices and viola..! it worked. So my next thought what is the problem with making this work in a UAV , it is using 5.8Ghz it is cheap to buy, just need to hack it so the antenna is less directional, and we can then have HD in our goggles, or on our screen.

This would be far more preferable to me for a first time FPV flyer as the picture is so poor at 480x240 pixels, you can hardly see if your moving or not.

What do you all think? i know a more elegant solution would be nicer but for now it would work.

    it is not cheap(depends for what are u using it for) but is best solution at the moment...

  • Though SD, looking at the specs of that H.264 video server Tommy posted, it seems like they require the use of their client for viewing.  I would like to use VLC instead and wonder if that would be possible with that solution.  Any thoughts on this?

  • Ok here same one posted in the thread pic

  • @ Luke Olson. if you read the blackmagic forum you can find " we transmitted approx 35 meters through scenery flats from a Eos c100 to an Atem TVS @ 1080p. The room was filled with 4000 people (with mobile phones/wifi etc) and during the entire 2 day event we had no drop outs, no glitches, not even a hint of fizzy sparkles"

    But i stil want to get help buying it from some on that can send to Norway, help any one? :)

  • Tommy, that wireless H.264 video server is for standard definition video according to the specifications, not high definition video.

  • really in all theroy the transmission is not in hdmi quality and if your camera isnt either theres no benifit to an hdmi output to a tv anyway except the interface some newer displays only have this

     

    there are rf modulators that can take rca and convert it to vga or hdmi also

  • If you want to use something like that you might as well just use this from your fpv receiver to computer http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-2-0-EasyCAP-Audio-Adapter-Cable-Video-G...

  • for the price it's hardly worth the investment
