OT - Drone Advert

[Steve Cottrell]

Some of you on FaceBook might have seen this, but in case anyone else
would like a look, I have a 1 minute advert up for live drone downlinking.

The trick here is that any drone will record in 1080 HD video, and they
will all downlink 720 video, but very few will downlink 1080HD. I've
teamed up with a drone pilot and we now offer live aerial shots to
broadcasters (who are quite fussy about their flavours of HD!) and others...



Full screen and turn the sound up!

Awesome. 

But would be more awesome if it looked like a Klingon fighter and could take 
out the opposition with a death ray.

Nicely done, Cotty. Here's to lots of sales!

And by all means take Bob's suggestion, and let me know when that footage is up!

Nice, but isn't the preamble a little long? :-)

[Darren Addy]

Cotty,
Very cool!
Is something like this available (yet) in the U.S.?
If not, what sort of work/expense would be needed to provide it?
My employers are always looking for a new "game" to get into.

Hi Darren

There are plenty of UAV (drone) operators in the USA, it should be
relatively simple to Google for them. The trick is finding one that will
downlink Full HD (eg 1920X1080) to the controller to feed out via HD-SDI
cable (broadcast industry standard cable with BNC connectors).

Most drones that downlink HD video only provide 1280X720 pixels. Note
this means they 'transmit' 720 video from the drone to the controller in
the pilot's hands on the ground. The same drone will record 1080 HD no
problem, but not actually transmit it live to the ground at the same time.

For a reasonably good explainer of exactly what HD means and the
favours, se here:



To buy a drone that will transmit Full HD 1080 video to the controller,
you will have to either build your own drone with its own video tx/rx
system, or buy one off the shelf. For the latter, you're looking at well
over 10,000 US Dollars.

Downlinking live video at 720 is fine - you can use it a 'live'
broadcast on social media, etc, and people will love it and it will look
great. For broadcasters though, it won't cut it. They will prefer, even
require, Full HD at 1920X1080.

In the south of the UK, there is one company based in London that will
provide live 1080HD but if you want to hire them it will cost 2,500 GBP
per day (plus sales tax of 20 percent).

Me and my colleague charge from 999.00 GBP - because he is brainy and
had the software for the drone rewritten to allow Full HD downlinking.
