Introduction The Incendium Stream Pack is a lightweight unit that enables anyone to receive live video from a video source and transmit live video at the tap of a button using multiple existing cellular or wireless infrastructures. It is designed to transmit high quality live streaming video from the field for any type of incident, such as UAV operators, breaking news, sports or live interviews, without the need for costly satellite or microwave uplink units. Incendium Stream Pack provides up to 1080p full HD video, integral roaming and a proprietary internal antennas array that extends cellular range even to typical Dead Cellular Zones.

System Overview The Incendium Stream Pack Live Video Uplink unit simultaneously aggregates a number of cellular networking infrastructures in order to stream live audio and video from field locations to the Incendium Streaming server, which is usually located in Incendium’s hosting center or locally at the Command center.

The Streaming Server gathers the live video feed via secure Internet connections and is then able to supply this feed to our IncidentShare website for further displaying and viewing. The technology offers a viable alternative to traditional uplinks, both in terms of video quality, as well as in pricing, immediacy of service, availability and portability.

An example of a typical deployment of the Stream Pack (on site) and the Streaming Server is shown below:

Mobile Connectivity The Incendium Stream Pack unit is designed to search for and connect to whichever cellular, data infrastructure that are available. The system has several built­in interfaces that are able to establish a connection to many different networks simultaneously in order to overcome inherent bandwidth limitations and offer robust transmissions. When the operator begins using the Stream Pack unit by turning the power on, the system automatically searches for and connects to all the interfaces it detects in the immediate area and then automatically analyzes and calibrates the system to provide the best possible broadcast according to the profile selected by the camera operator and the actual air bandwidth. The Stream Pack system’s flexibility enables users to select different configurations for certain situations where it may be necessary to manually reconfigure the original setup. For example, when the required bandwidth for transmission may not be sufficient or the video resolution may need to be changed from broadcast to broadcast.

What’s in the Pack?

The Incendium Stream Pack Live Video Uplink system consists of the following components:

The Incendium Stream Pack Mobile field unit is build upon Peli U160 Urban Elite Half Case Pack from Pelican which features a built­in waterproof and crushproof hard case that accommodates up to five routers, one video encoder, one wifi access point, one DJI Lightbridge (for UAV streaming) and all relevant cables.

Above the hard case is a storage compartment that has a dedicated touch­fastened panel socket with all relevant cable plugins. A rigid front plate offers impact protection to this top storage compartment, which features a front­access, zippered closure.

There is an ergonomic aluminum S­curved spine along the back of the pack for comfortable shoulder and lumbar support. Adjustable load­lifting straps tighten the pack so weight is distributed more evenly across your shoulders when carrying it. The U160 Half Case pack can be carried using the padded backpack straps or the rigid carry handle. For better stability when carrying a heavier pack, use the chest clip and removable waist belt.

Three Video encoder configurations are available: ■ ​ HD­SDI ■ ​ HDMI ■ Composite

Three Mobile router configurations are available:

■ Single (single router) ■ Dual (two routers with failover and lease management) ■ Bonding (up to five concurrent routers with real network bonding capacity)

2. Getting Started This section describes how to get started using Incendium Stream Pack including powering on, connecting the camera, connecting through wifi and viewing live video on IncidentShare, Incendiums streaming platform.

The following is an overview of the workflow described in this chapter.

Installing HDMI cable Before you can watch anything on your new Stream Pack, you need to get a video signal into the Stream Pack from your Drone. Connect the HDMI cable from compartment above the hard case and connect that to the DJI Inspire Monitor screen and turn on your DJI Inspire.

Figure 2 ­ installing HDMI cable

Connecting the battery The Stream Pack unit is provided by Incendium with a battery. The Battery cable is located in the right side pocket as demonstrated below. The battery have (depending on weather conditions) approximately an operational timeframe of 2­4 hours on a fully charged battery.

Insure that the battery is fully charged before using it.

Connect the battery and insert the charger in the 220/230V adaptor.

Be careful connecting the battery Charging time can take up to five hours.

The charger changes from red/orange to yellow and finally green when fully charged.

Orange Yellow Green Figure 3 ­ battery color indicators

NOTE: When the external battery chargers diode has turned green it’s necessary to unplug the power from the charger and insert it again in order for it to measure the secondary battery capacity.

Turn on the Stream Pack unit Press and release the power switch and wait until it lights up.

Figure 4 ­ Power Switch On

After a boot­up period, the different diodes becomes active, and after approximately 120 seconds the system is active. if a camera has been connected and powered on it is automatically detected by the Stream Pack and the blue diode is lit, as shown below:

Figure 5 ­ Diodes

Monitoring the diodes After powering on, the blue diodes will start to flash, when they receive solid blue the camera is found and the system begins it’s live stream.

Camera icon ­ Solid blue indicating video is successfully detected. If LED is off connect the HDMI camera from Stream Pack to the DJI Inspire or control that it’s correctly connected.

H.264 Solid Blue indicating that the encoder stream settings is successfully working.

Sky icon ­ flashing blue indicating that internet is established and if flashing a live stream is broadcasted to incidentShare.

Warning icon ­ Solid red ­ Try first to reboot the Stream Pack by turning off the power. Pls. wait 30 seconds before turning the power back on. If the problem occurs again pls call +457199 0396 for support.

If the first three icons are blue everything is working correctly and you will be able to login to https//bb.incidentshare. com and connect via your username and password.

3. Successful Video Transmission

Depending on the bandwidth available on the location you will be able to determine how much bandwidth you can stream ­ by default the system will stream 2,5 Mbit if bonded but this can be changed up/down as you prefer ­ see “change bitrate” in the manual.

Good video quality also depends on your flying; fast maneuvers and rotation of the drone/camera will potentially generate lower video quality (pixelation). Make sure to operate the drone with ease for best quality. Fly to your position and switch to GPS/hold position. To change video quality manually from on the video encoder go to pt 5. Configuration and Settings below.
