Introduction (LEGACY - NOT MAINTAINED)
OpenHD is a suite of software designed for long-range video transmission, telemetry, and RC control. While we originally designed it with hobbyist drones in mind, it can be adapted to a wide range of other applications as well.
All of these signals can be sent over a single transmission channel and telemetry is using MAVlink to ensure high compatibility and stability.

How does the OpenHD link (wifibroadcast) work
OpenHD employs readily available Wi-Fi adapters, although not in the standard manner commonly associated with everyday Wi-Fi usage. To ensure low-latency and long-distance transmissions, we configure these adapters to function akin to analog video transmission hardware. This innovative protocol, inspired by , has been reimplemented by OpenHD for optimized performance.
The configuration empowers OpenHD to transmit high-quality video and other signals across significant distances while maintaining minimal latency.
QOpenHD App
We offer a multi-platform with a customizable on-screen display (OSD) for live video. The app is designed to work seamlessly with our suite, and allows you to easily view and control your OpenHD transmission.
