Great to see you here @mariofpv

[@EMAXUSA]

Thank you Josh for the comparison! You nailed it on the head that we just want to help support an Open Source alternative to FPV as we want build a community driven FPV future. We hope with our Wyvern Link system, we can help sustain a community of DIYers and Enthusiasts alike to help grow our hobby in a positive direction. Also want to clarify a couple points: 1. The 100mw and 2W RX is moreso power consumption. While it does not physically increase sensitivity of the Receiver, the 2W is able to process weaker signals, effectively increasing "range." In layman's terms, it's kind of like overclocking your GPU to squeeze out more performance. 2. The DVR shown does appear to have the lens slightly out of focus. Our reviewer samples are 3D printed and the lenses were easily moved around while flying. Our consumer batch will be molded plastic and not have this issue.

Can't wait to see this becoming the ELRS of Digital Video systems

[@APS-yo8oy]

Dang right it will be. In 3-4 years… problem with open source is the “tech teams” that truly dedicate time to said project work on it in their off time. Unlike multi billion dollar companies that hire the best engineers possible. Elrs I never even considered until this year. I waited 4 years to let the maturity set in since I didn’t want the hobby to become a frustrating job just to get a toy quad to fly. Being a weekend warrior of the hobby I have very little time to fiddle with projects just to enjoy the end result which is to fly.

[@Vousie]

@@robinbennett5994 ELRS already is, I'd say. But given how far from "daily driver" OpenIPC is at the moment, I think that it'll probably be a few years, if it even gets to that level, let alone "better than DJI/Walksnail" (or at least equal image quality/latency for cheaper price) which is what it needs to do to get to where ELRS has.

OpenIPC is going to be fantastic in the future. JB if you had a ground station running either a Pi4 or the Radxa 3W with OpenIPC or Ruby HD digital the signal would be so much better. Enjoyed the review thanks. 😊

[@flyingdutchmanfpv]

Agree :-)

[@Vousie]

Why does the groundstation affect the signal? Isn't it about the receiver instead?

[@flyingdutchmanfpv]

@@Vousie It's a 2-way link

[@Vousie]

@@flyingdutchmanfpv I know. I guess the terminology is a bit confusing - by "receiver" I meant the entire "ground unit". So, whether you use a phone or goggles to connect to the "ground unit" shouldn't matter. What matters is the RF capability in the "ground unit".

[@marcosx86]

Bear in mind JB that under the hood it is a mini computer running a bunch of Linux software over a Wifi link with real time encoding/decoding with many third party components (including video codecs), soooooo many loosing parts. You see many glitches normally when the main frames fail to arrive on time (we are talking about h26x over UDP link over Wifi link with just a custom encription key).

[@eturnerx]

That's a stack ripe for optimisation.

[@DillonJThomas]

We need an occusync alternative or someone to decrypt and release the firmware. I've spent some time reverse engineering the DJI mini non pro series, all Ambarella H22( Cortex A53 with h26x). Decrypting the Linux file system is easy peasy, but no luck so far with the ThreadX Sparrow/Pigeon firmware which has all the occusync stuff. Doesn't look like there is anything on the o-gs github either.

[@niklas950928]

I love how progressive FPV is. Its always growing. But damn it gets expensive keeping up. But this is awesome and of course i will invest in it.

[@APS-yo8oy]

It’s actually not. Fpv usually “borrows”tech from other demographics. Hate to say it but the true innovators FOR Fpv is DJI. Everyone else is just trying to keep up but will never beat nor be on par. I’m a big advocate of open source projects but it’s usually slow and find you need to do a bunch of hoop jumping just to get it to work especially in the beginning of each released project. Any hobby can be expensive if you hop on every new release product. I certainly have felt that for the past 8 years of Fpv.

[@skelethornbro]

This looks promising. I know it will never be the ELRS of the video link world but I believe that OpenIPC will be a viable option for a lot of hobbyists.

[@hairypaulmm7wab195]

You will probably find that the ground based transceiver uses narrower bandwidth transmission to send data / control signalling to the aircraft unit and the aircraft unit is higher powered due to requiring higher bandwidth to send video data back to the ground based unit. Just an educated guess as I have used fixed location ground based digital data/video streaming security systems and have not had an OpenIPC system on the bench for testing. Looking forward to seeing further development of OpenIPC systems. Thank You for the excellent info. Keep up the good work Sir.

[@Invid72]

Not going to replace my Vistas or O3s but I'm looking forward to continued development. I want something that is interoperable between manufacturers when I upgrade next.

[@StarsAtNight1]

So cool you're reviewing these two systems. I really want this project to succeed and evolve into something that can revolutionize our hobby.

[@DavidAparicioCampos]

To measure glitching, I would add a "packet loss" counter. The bandwidth can keep being around 4Mbps and still lose some packets that are critical to the image composition, and then produce glitches. I would suggest to measure this if possible,

[@Vousie]

Well, look at the framerate. It was dropping frames pretty much throughout.

[@putrid.p]

​@@Vousie great point. But was it really getting up to 120fps? That seems unnecessarily high.

[@Vousie]

@@putrid.p I guess JB set it to 720p120 mode. But yes, probably would've been a better test if he'd set it to a lower framerate...

[@dabfpv]

Im build my own OpenIPC from my security IP camera, just for fun and want to put it on my very old 17inch drone Tarot 850 (only the legends know what it is) 😅 I want to watch on OSD various readings from custom sensors, and OpenIPC is the only system thats give me that possibilties.

[@MrTimmyGT]

This looks rough lol, will have to revisit this in a couple years when hopefully it gets refined

[@jamessarrett4169]

This is the best argument for why MPEG style block coding with motion estimation is the wrong approach for FPV systems. I'm now even more impressed that DJI can make it work at all. One day I'm sure the OpenIPC system will be as good, but it'll never match the flyability of analog or HDZero.

[@tomallo99]

@@bagofclothes7360 hmm thanks for the opinion, maybe I will give it a shot then. It's just that I've talked to one pilot irl and he said that it's worth investing into whichever digital system as it's "so much better". But maybe sample size of one wasn't the best idea to take for granted after all? I guess you're right, now that I think about it, an entry level analog goggle like the EV800D and an analog camera are quite cheap, and I'll have to buy a quad regardless. And I already have a controller since I've been practicing on the simulator for quite a bit like two years back. So, even if I decide that analog isn't the way, I can modify the quad to carry a digital system, and eventually just sell the analog goggles... Yea that makes sense. I think I'll go for it 😃

Hi JB, Well I am not best at openipc but here are the suggestions i would give: 1. Use a radxa zero 3w as your vrx, The latency will be significantly less and you'll have a lot more range. 2. You can use High bitrate mode to get better image quality, it is quite difficult but I think with the new openIPC configurator it should be easier, i've seen it go upto 1440P. 3. One of the new Resolutions supports 1080p 60FPS@15MBPS which i think should look great. Thanks for considering.

[@jamesbaker223]

Mads put Bardwell on roast with that intro LOL

[@ThylineTheGay]

21:53 i would think the bitrate meter can't factor in how many errors the receiver picks up and has to attempt to compensate for which, should really be a good statistic to be available on the HUD (assuming the HUD is not sent over the video signal, but added at the goggles side)

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic testing and comparison, Joshua! Thanks a bunch! 😃 I'm really hoping for this project to be successful! Since Caddx came to the market with the Walksnail system, the digital FPV just gets better! Now, if we could get a third competitor... It would be even better!

[@progamler1]

This was Probobly answerd on the other video. The Bitrate is based on the Video encoding. the Glitching comes from Paketloss/Jitter. that means when it was time for the Frame not all data was received by the decoder(Receiver).

[@KOrnhOliO1]

It's crazy that's it's so new and an Alpha unfinished product, but it already has far superior image quality than HDZero! Way WAY BETTER! We're ignoring the glitches as those will most likely be gone rather quick. Those abundant colored sparklies that show up with HDZero when flying just several meters away are no where to be seen. Sure, it's got a long way to go but far superior image quality is already there when compared to by far the most expensive digital FPV system - HDZero. Well done! 😎🤘

[@kevin-sumner]

The throw to @madrc is the funniest thing I've seen in a JB video in quite a long time. I love it.

[@kandredfpv]

Those look like temporal compression artefacts in the FPV footage. Anyone with digital broadcast TV would recognise this, e.g. I've used FreeView DVB-T here in NZ, which is over UHF and you get the same artefacts in bad weather. This is due to the fact that OpenIPC (like DVB-T) does not retransmit corrupted frames, so instead you get errors in the MPEG video decoding. MPEG sends a group of pictures (GoP) consisting of a full spatially i-frame, and several p/b-frames with only the parts of the image that need updating (the temporal compression). When p/b-frames are corrupted the decoder does its best to fill in gaps, generating that smudged mess. I expect in time they will solve the retransmission problem. Also, could it be you have WiFi interference?

[@MorningView]

I was wondering (i'm not that technical so thanks for the explanation) can the breakup be replaced or changed to look not like it does? I also i wonder if a feature like dji's focus mode could be implemented?

[@notsogood4321]

@@MorningView thats tough to say , you can optimise the bitrate(4096,8096 etc) and compression techniques (mcs1 , mcs2 etc) to get better/worse video quality in trade for better penetration and range .One thing you can do is run rubyHD on openIPC hardware (its supported by the openIPC devs ) , this has retransmission capability and is alot easier to setup i my opinion although i do believe base line latency does increase mildly (newer updates like rubyHD 10.0.0 claim around 33ms of latency - but thats not been properly verified) .

Thanks Joshua for sharing your knowledge. After see many differents FPV reviews I have a question about video antennas setting, Way if the video receivers are in ground, usually the antennas in the drones point to the sky?. Im clear about omnidirectional propagation, but if the drone is flying to the video receptor, the drone it self is an obstacle for the signal in the way to the receptor. do you have any review about advantage and disadvantages for that?. Thanks again!!!

Because if the antennas point down, then they break when the drone lands.

Note that bitrate doesn’t have any connection to the amount of data you are actually receiving. Video codec bitrate would stay the same even if you were getting only one frame every 10 seconds. Your throughput would be very low in that case but the bitrate would be relatively constant.

[@aLDimeDevUAV_FPV]
