Recent improvements included in v1.0:
- vastly increased robustness over poor networks (packet loss, bandwidth fluctuation),
- added hardware acceleration for Intel chipsets such as HD Graphics (in addition to the existing Nvidia and RockChip support), - added local mode, allowing offline usage on local networks,
- 3x less CPU usage when using software encoder,
- much improved CPU efficiency when using ROS topics as video source,
- support for ROS topics carrying pre-encoded h264 video,
- increased data savings when scene is static,
- many ease-of-use improvements, incl. auto-bitrate and better error recovery.
At this point we believe this is the best video-streaming solution available in the market for robots, and cheaper than many alternatives by a margin. Please let us know if you disagree. If on top of this you need channel bonding (e.g., dual SIM), please reach out.
