Airborne Innovations now offers a low cost video compression board option, which is primarily designed for DIY use.
While not as fully featured, highly integrated, or flexible as the MicroraptorHD, it can do the following:
H.264 video compression, 1080i / 720p / 480i
When paired in one of the below development kits with a high power Wifi radio, it can transmit wireless HD/SD video.
High definition analog component video compression of 720p / 1080i video
or, with an add-on video interface module, standard definition analog video compression (composite or S-Video supported).
With the radio package we have a complete solution capable of medium range wireless HD transmission.
Or you can purchase the compression board alone to use with your own wired/wireless system.
Versions of the kit are available with component HD input, composite SD input, or with a small 1080p capable CMOS board camera.
