- Send Telemetry and video with Qground Control:
– With QGroundControl, receiving the video stream is a bit easier, because it can decode both H.264 and H.265 streams without requiring any custom pipelines. This simplifies everything a lot. In the video, I show simple, user-friendly ways to receive the video stream.
– You can also use TCP/RTSP to send video to QGroundControl, and this method is explained in the video as well. However, I recommend using UDP/RTP because it provides a more real-time video feed and reconnects much faster.
Simple things about video and telemetry on Qground Control:
— I recommend using QGroundControl for beginners or for those who prefer an easier setup, because receiving the video stream in both H.264 and H.265 is much simpler. Also, TCP/RTSP mode automatically detects both video formats, but the downside is that starting, stopping, and reconnecting take longer, because the TCP protocol is more complex than RTP.
— Even if it’s not as perfect as native reception directly with GStreamer (explained in the Mission Planner Set Up section), it is still a very good solution for video reception. There may be some small interruptions that you don’t see in GStreamer mode, but they are almost unnoticeable.
