FPV CVBS AV to IP Ethernet Video Encoder Decoder – HDMI, H.264/H.265

Overview

The FPV CVBS AV Encoder Decoder System is a compact, professional video transmission solution designed for FPV drones, UAVs, remote-controlled vehicles, robotics, and industrial monitoring applications.

This system combines an analog video encoder with an IP Ethernet video decoder to transmit video and audio over wired Ethernet networks or compatible wireless IP links. It converts traditional CVBS and AHD camera signals into digital H.264/H.265 video streams and decodes network video for HDMI or AV output.

With support for multiple video resolutions, low-latency transmission, transparent UART/RS232 data communication, and two-way audio, this encoder-decoder combination enables real-time video monitoring and remote equipment operation.

Whether you are upgrading an analog FPV system, building a remote-control platform, or integrating video into an IP network, this solution offers flexible connectivity and convenient system integration.

Key Features

1. Analog Video to IP Ethernet Conversion

Convert CVBS and AHD analog camera signals into digital IP video streams using H.264/H.265 encoding. Integrate traditional analog cameras into modern Ethernet-based video systems without replacing the entire camera setup.

2. Low-Latency Video Transmission

Designed for real-time FPV piloting and remote operation. The encoder-decoder system supports approximately 140 ms minimum end-to-end latency under suitable operating conditions, while the decoder itself specifies a minimum latency of 70 ms.

3. 4K HDMI Video Decoding

The decoder supports up to 4K at 30 fps, with HDMI output for high-resolution monitoring. It can display a single 4K video stream or support a four-view layout with multiple 1080P feeds.

4. H.264/H.265 Video Compression

Hardware-accelerated video encoding helps reduce bandwidth requirements while maintaining useful image quality for network transmission and remote monitoring.

5. Flexible Ethernet and Wireless Connectivity

The system supports 100 Mbps Ethernet networking and can work with compatible 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz wireless IP links. The stated wireless line-of-sight range is up to 500 meters under suitable conditions; actual performance depends on the wireless equipment and operating environment.

6. Transparent UART/RS232 Data Transmission

Transmit serial control data alongside video when configured appropriately. This function is useful for remote camera adjustment, PTZ control, drone payload management, and robotic operation.

Bidirectional serial communication requires compatible firmware and a one-encoder-to-one-decoder configuration.

7. Audio Transmission and Voice Intercom

Support for two-way voice communication and G.711, G.726, and AAC audio codecs makes the system suitable for applications that require both live video and operator communication.

8. Multiple Network Protocols

Compatible with TCP, UDP, RTSP, RTCP, and ONVIF, supporting integration with various IP video transmission and monitoring systems.

9. Flexible Power Supply

Both boards support DC 5–24 V input, with 5 V Type-C power available for the decoder. Built-in protection helps protect against overvoltage, overcurrent, and electrostatic discharge.

10. Compact Embedded Design

The compact circuit boards are suitable for integration into FPV equipment, UAV ground stations, robotic systems, mobile platforms, and custom industrial devices.
