    Hello, I am attempting to stream encoded video over a somewhat long range radio link (imx412 @ 1024x768 on the pipe hires_small_encoded). Voxl portal: acceptable latency & performance over ethernet buffers and jams up when streaming over radio link RTSP stream through vlc: extremely high latency (1-1.5s) over ethernet works over radio link, but with same latency issues As far as I can tell, the encoded stream should be within 2Mbps which is well within the capability of our radios, especially at the range I've been testing, so I'm not sure why voxl-portal buffers and locks up while voxl-streamer doesn't. Not sure if I read all of this forum page correctly, but it seems like I should not be experiencing latency nearly this bad using voxl-streamer: https://docs.modalai.com/camera-video/low-latency-video-streaming/ Let me know if I am doing anything obviously wrong. Thanks!

    @JB1 Our voxl-remote-id software with WiFi dongle is intended only for reference and is not meant to be a commercially ready system for our customers who need a remote id solution for their VOXL2 based drone products. Integration, testing, validation, and FAA registration with desired hardware is up to the end user. At a minimum the manufacturer id would need to be changed from ModalAI's id to your companies issued manufacturer id.

    @moderator Thank you very much for your detailed explanation of the VOXL 2 Mini ToF sensor. This information will greatly assist us in finalizing our approach for integrating the sensor into our UAV platform. Thank you once again for your continued support and guidance.

    @RoyAzriel 1.6.4 release is tested on Starling 2 now, go ahead and use that from the link I emailed you.

    Hey @alex-kushleyev, good to know it holds up like that under load, and thanks again for the reply. Two things I'm trying to pin down on the Mini: Power. Can a USB port on the VOXL Mini actually supply around 2-2.5 W, and can it do that on one port while a small USB camera runs on the other? Or should I plan to power those externally? Extra camera slot. From the D0013-V2 CAD the imager board looks like 5 DF56 coax connectors with 4 used (EO + dual AR0144 + Boson+), and the Lepton is on the M0187 SPI adapter so it's off the CSI bus. Is that spare coax connector wired to a usable CSI lane, and would voxl-camera-server take a 5th sensor (an M0161) there without a custom config? Thanks, Eyal
