FPV on the verge with OpenIPC. 3840x2160 video broadcast by the UAV.

This is the raw video as it comes from the radio, before the OSD is drawn over it.

Thanks for the hard work! please talk about your equipment, It would be very informative for our community. thanks

I've shared it before, there is nothing special.
AR9271 adapter on the plane (up to 2km range), for more I use a power amplifier.
Two AR9271 adapters with Linux laptop on the ground. 2 antennas, usually use a Patch and a 8 turn Helix.

Well great, but why do you need such high resolution if the goggles have only 1920x1080 at best?

[@tipoman9317]

This is a tech demo, to inspire ideas within the community.
Yes, I do fly at 1920x1080, which is the resolution of my laptop screen, but there are 4K laptops on the market.
What about of integrating a head tracker to your 1080p goggles and being able to look around the bigger 4K image with rotation of your head, without actually changing the UAV position 😉

@@tipoman9317 I admire what you do, but I think a 4K IPcam for FPV is just useless increase of cost (especially for 4K display), bit-rate and latency. I’d rather have multiple AHD cams hooked to a DVR module, but I don’t know how to get WFB-ng on the DVR. Can anyone help?
