Digital-TV transmitter based on Raspberry Pi Zero and LimeSDR Mini
One LimeSDR Mini from Lime Micro and one Raspberry Pi Zero have been used to create an open-source pocket-sized DVB (digital video broadcasting) transmitter, which is believed to be is the world’s smallest.
Developed by Evariste Okcestbon, the open-source prototype streams live images from a Raspberry Pi camera (PiCam) and implements avc2ts, dvb2iq and limetx software to encode and transmit H.264 video on the 1.2-GHz (23 cm) amateur TV band.
The boards are connected via USB, with the Raspberry Pi Zero board measuring 65 x 30 mm and the LimeSDR Mini measuring 69 x 31 mm.
