ZIO PAYLOAD CONFIGURATION

Configure the ZIO IP to stream and control over Ethernet

1. Overview

  • To stream video over Ethernet, the Zio payload needs to be set up in the same network layer (IP) as the Remote running QGC.

  • The default Zio payload is set to static IP address 192.168.50.100, which will stream video to IP 192.168.50.101, at port 5000.

  • There are 2 ways for Remote to receive video from Zio:

    • Keep Zio's default setup (ip 192.168.50.100), Remote's IP setting at 192.168.50.101

    • Change Zio's IP according to the network configuration of the running Remote system.

2. Zio Ethernet Video Stream Protocol

On the firmware v1.0.1 or higher, Zio stream video via RTP protocol, h264 encoder.

3. Set IP address of Zio and IP adress of UDP stream receiver

  • Take out the micro SD card from Zio

  • Connect and open the SD folder

  • Create file payload_setup.txt in the micro SD card folder

File name: payload_setup.txt File Content:

/*PAYLOAD CONFIGURATION*/ 

# IP address of Payload
ZIO_ADDR = 192.168.144.200
NETMASK = 255.255.255.0

# IP adress of UDP stream receiver
STREAM_VIDEO_TO = 192.168.144.150:5000

On the above example

  • Zio IP: 192.168.144.200

  • Zio stream video to Remote IP: 192.168.144.150 ở port 5000

  • Insert the SD card containing the file payload_setup.txt into Zio and reboot.

  • Zio will set up according to the information in the file automatically.

NOTE: when Zio starts up without detecting the file payload_setup.txt in the memory card, Zio will automatically reset to the default IP (192.168.50.100)
