7.7.2 Video Feed Connection
Figure 7.7.2 Video Feed Connection
Pressing the Video Feed Connection option under Drone Setup will show you the
above screen with a button for configuring a custom connection, and a list of connection
options. The list shows a bunch of predefined options, and all of the connected USB devices.
The predefined options are:
No Video Feed:
For when you don't want video feed, or when your drone doesn't support
video. This option mainly exists in case there's a bug in the app's connection code, you
can select this and go back to your desired connection to reset it.
Herelink Wifi (running Contrast Px4):
This is the default option. Select this when the
Ignis Px4 app is running on a tablet that is on a Herelink's Wifi hotspot, and the Herelink
is running our Contrast app. This uses a custom video streaming protocol that's super
simple and substantially more reliable than RTSP.
Herelink Wifi (running any GCS app):
Select this when the Ignis Px4 app is running on a
table that is on a Herelink's Wifi hotspot, and the Herelink is running QGroundControl or
some other 3rd party flight control app. This doesn't work very well because RTSP is a
terrible protocol with an absurd number of ways for things to fail, and this option is
chaining two RTSP connections together.
Herelink (app is running on the Herelink):
Select this when the Ignis Px4 app is running
on the Herelink itself.
