Beaglebone: Streaming Video from Embedded Linux & Custom Video Player

In this video I look at video streaming using the Beaglebone black using: RTP, UDP unicasting, and UDP multicasting, which allows one to many streaming. In all of these examples I used the VLC media player to display the video data. The final part of this video goes on to describe how you can build your own software implementation that can display the data using LibVLC and the Qt framework. The advantage of doing this is that you can add your own data processing and controlling functionality into the video display. You could even develop code for capturing multiple streams simultaneously and processing the data -- for example, for stereo imaging.

In this video I use a Logitech C920 and the Beaglebone Black. I would highly recommend both of these devices because of the processing power of the Beaglebone black and the high resolution capability of the C920. However, you should be able to adapt the code to any specific camera.
