FFMPEG Sender

Overview

FFMPEG Sender captures the live camera or video feed from the drone and converts it into other formats in real time — for example H.264/H.265, MJPEG, MPEG-TS, or HLS — so it can be consumed by recording tools, AI pipelines, or streaming servers.

The application runs directly on the drone's remote controller or on a mini PC connected to it, so no additional ground station hardware is required.
