II. ETHERNET VIDEO STREAMING

1. HARDWARE SETUP

Simple Diagram to show how to connect the G-Hadron Payload via the Ethernet

2. G-HADRON PAYLOAD CONFIGURATION

a. Overview

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

• The default G-Hadron payload is set to static IP address 192.168.144.25, which will stream video to IP rtsp://192.168.144.25:8554/ghadron.

• There are 2 ways for Remote to receive video from G-Hadron:

  • Keep G-Hadron payload's default setup (ip 192.168.144.25), Herelink Remote's IP setting at 192.168.144.10.

  • Change G-Hadron's IP according to the network configuration of the running Remote system.

b. G-Hadron Ethernet Video Stream Protocol

On the firmware v1.0.0 or higher, G-Hadron stream video via RTP protocol, h264 encoder.

c. Set IP address of G-Hadron and IP adress of RTSP stream receiver

Set IP address on G-Hadron Payload Web Server.

3. ETHERNET RECEIVER CONFIGURATION

Got video stream with QGroundControl app

General/Video setup as follows:

Extra: Got video stream with Gstreamer

In the case of using an computer with the Gstreamer library and connected to the same network with G-Hadron Payload (192.168.144.x), the video can be received via the command:

gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc latency=0 location=rtsp://192.168.144.25:8554/ghadron ! decodebin ! videoconvert ! autovideosink sync=false

Configure video streaming setting:

4. Receive on the PC using VLC:

• Goto Media -> Open Network Stream

• rtsp://192.168.144.25:8554/ghadron
