07 Jan Live Video Drone – Live Aerial Video on YouTube Live
A little bit of pre-Christmas fun at the 3xScreen studio…
We took a Parrot AR.Drone2.0 which has an integrated 720p camera – normally used for recording video.
We then used good ol’ reliable FFMPEG to grab the live video feed from the drone on Port 5555 using the command ffplay tcp://192.168.1.1:5555 and input the live video feed in to a LiveU LU40.
By bonding together four 3G/4G LTE mobile broadband circuits, the LU40 sent the live video from the drone to the 3xScreen studio where we encoded and published the live aerial video on YouTube Live.
Stay tuned – after our pre-Christmas live video drone fun with the Parrot, for our next live video drone iteration we will be mounting a LU40 on a professional Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.
