OpenIPC Fixed-wing Airunit DIY Setup. Audio, Realtime Stabilization, low-latency 60fps modes tests

A sample airunit setup for long range.
Camera module ssc30kq with Sony imx335 sensor, 3.6mm lens ( $20)
AR9271 wifi adapter($3) and a 2.4Ghz PowerAmplifier($20).
wfb-ng for the radio link working as a charm.
Linux laptop. OpenCV+gstreamer for video decoding, qOpenHD for the OSD.
Recording of the raw video as received on the ground (without OSD) and the screen recording with OSD.
These modes were tested in flight:
15Mbit/s 60fps mode.MCS3
15Mbit/s 30fps mode.MCS3
4Mbit/s 60fps mode.MCS0
22Mbit/s 30fps mode.MCS4
Higher bandwidth affects range.
There are minor glitches related to the I-frame every 1.5 seconds in 60fps that need to addressed by fine-tuning the encoder.

I wish for someone to make a nice guide on this, I want to convert a long range wing asap

[@sebi1240]

Yeah true! Maybe also including how to use a Laptop as a screen🖖

[@MaxR52]

dude! Sick! Thank you!

[@Farming-Technology]

in the section @ 2:00 the is a drop in quality that lasts about 4 frames and repeats every 60 frames. What could be causing that? *edit its present in the first section @ 0:25 but not in the stabilized section @ 1:00

[@tipoman9]

There is a problem with I-frames in 60fps, that needs to be fine tuned. Stabilization runs in 30fps mode.

[@surjitsinghdeo6533]

hey Tipo Man, can you please share your Ground Station setup? What are those gigantic Antennas called?

[@sebi1240]

Big waves, no girls 😂

[@kardady]

haha

[@FPVBUTTER]

Nice 👍🏼😇🫡would love to build it can you link or make video of how to openIPC? 🎉❤

[@fefernan87]

The AR9271 wifi adapter needs to manually added to the OpenIPC system or it's already integrated? Great video, really cool! By the way, the place where you fly is shock full of nice things to see!

[@Farming-Technology]

nice. I wonder how a wider lens that zoomed, cropped and stabilized would look?

[@tipoman9]

I prefer 3.6mm lens, 2.8mm has too big FoV and less details for my taste. You can take a look how stabilization works on my dual cam setup, with a 16mm lens. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHrbl5dobNCZr9E

[@Farming-Technology]

@@tipoman9 yes I've see that. very impressive! I intend to replicate it but using a slightly wider lens that is stabilized and zoomed digitally (so same fov) to stop the dancing letter box. probably drop the frame rate and increase the resolution to preserve detail lost in the digital zoom .

[@gabriel_13the]

That looks like a 2.4 Ghz antenna? Have you tried 5.8? And what power are you using? Thx!

[@CosmicSlopVibrations]

How to use qopenhd osd with openipc?

[@tipoman9]

It simply needs video rtp stream on channel 5600 and telemetry on 14550

[@CosmicSlopVibrations]

@@tipoman9 no idea what that means exactly but thx for replying

[@mickemse]

​@@tipoman9 получается, сначала поток идёт на стабилизатор, а с него на qopenhd?

[@tipoman9]

@@mickemse qOpenHD runs in transparent mode, no video, only OSD. On the background is the stabilized video in a different process.

[@ijallampatta]

can this camera use for rece quad?

[@tipoman9]

I suppose so, it can do 120fps for even lower latency. Mind the dimension though, 38x38mm board.

[@ijallampatta]

@@tipoman9 this camera will change the fpv culture...

[@unixoid33]

do you have a link for you microphone?

[@tipoman9]

Sorry, no. I found some from an old laptop in my electronics waste bin.

[@unixoid33]

@@tipoman9 ok, but it should be usb mic?

[@serryscs]

Would it be possible to build openipc setup with optical zoom camera?

[@tipoman9]

Sure, kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHrbl5dobNCZr9E

[@serryscs]

@@tipoman9 Cool! How much would it cost to recreate it?

[@tipoman9]

@@serryscs A cam module is $19, wifi adapter is $3... And some laptop :) Here you can find the parts used kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHLKgmOEo76phq8

[@serryscs]

@@tipoman9 so its not a motorized zoom, just switching between 2 cameras with different lenses? Would it be possible to do the same with a motorized optical zoom system?

[@nic.h]

@@serryscs isn't really that just a question of being able to fit and carry the zoom lens and wiring it into a control signal to provide positioning for zoom level

[@Ev3rM0r3]

People need to start stripping audio out of drone video's that is just "WHIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"

[@unixoid33]

you did not understand. Before this there was no sound support. this is live sound. This feature has now been added. Very convenient and useful for airplanes. Listen to the engine speed, or without a motor when you fly, the sound of the wind

[@Дима-я5ы2э]

video quality like dj03

[@unixoid33]

o3 more crisp
