Cosmostreamer settings available in web interface, in CosmoViewerNG application for Windows and in CosmoViewerNG application for Mac.

Settings are the same, in this document I will use a web interface for the screenshots.

Info

Board model

Microcomputer model (Raspberry Pi model and revision)

Firmware version

Current version of Cosmostreamer

Device name

A human-readable name of the device, used in the device list in CosmoViewerNG app

Camera type

For historical reasons, all devices that work with the Cosmostreamer are referred to as a "Camera" - even if the device is not actually a camera, but, for example, a pair of DJI goggles, or DJI SDR receiver, or any other supported device. So let's say this is a "license type".

Allow auto detection

This option is shown only for certain "Camera types," such as DJI Goggles or DJI Fly drones. When enabled, Cosmostreamer attempts to automatically detect the connected camera type and switch to the appropriate "Camera type" making manual switching unnecessary.

Need to disable this option (if enabled) before changing or entering a new license key!

License

Camera type

Current "Camera type" choosen in chapter "Info".

Board ID

A hex-string, unique for each Raspberry Pi or any other microcontroller used for Cosmostreamer. Board ID never changes on the same Raspberry Pi after firmware update or any other manipulations.

QR code

Image contains Board ID and current firmware version in text form like this:

board_id=9127A1E6CEB16469F4D4F6563B138360CA78A1E2757E2376C39FC56824CB5BD3;app_type=23;ver=0.22.5;new=1

License key

Text string with the license key for current "Camera type" and Board ID. License keys stored independently for each "Camera type".

License key CAN'T be transfered from one Raspberry Pi to another!!!

"Install license key" button

Click on this button and entered key will be saved on microSD.

Multiple licenses archive uploading

May be used for uploading a .csuf file with two or more license keys inside.

Secondary camera

It's possible to use a two "Camera types" at the same time, but with some limitations and not for any type of the device. Only video will be available from this camera, no control, no telemetry.
For example, possible to use "DJI Goggles2/3/Integra/N3" and "DJI Goggles V1/V2" together. Or "DJI Goggles2/3/Integra/N3" and a "Webcam".

Not all combinations of main and secondary cameras have been tested!

Tested only on Raspberry Pi 4!

Enable

Enable/disable secondary camera.

Secondary camera type

The same as a "Camera type" in chapter "Info", but here are not all types in this list.
At current time available options:

• DJI Goggles V1/V2
• DJI Goggles2/3/Integra/N3
• RTMP Receiver
• Webcam
• Cosmostreamer Remote Client (license is not needed)

Before using in this list need to enter license for this "Camera type" as when it used as a main camera!

Show video on

Video port used for the secondary camera. HDMI-0, HDMI-1 or DSI.
Video may be full-screen on windowed (check next params).

Show ONLY when no main video active

As the name of this option suggests, video from the secondary camera will be shown only when the main camera is inactive.
Main use case - show video from a webcam when DJI Goggles2 is disconnected.

Show fullscreen

Show video from the secondary camera in a full-screen mode on the video port choosen in option "Show video on".
If this option disabled - video will be shown in a widow. Size and position of this window configurable in parameter "Show in window".

Send video to the main app if possible

If video stream from the secondary camera is in H264 or H265 codec - this video stream can be sent to the CosmoViewerNG application, it will look as a small window over the main video.

Send video to the web interface if possible

If video stream from the secondary camera is in H264 codec - this video stream can be sent to the web interface, it will look as a small window over the main video.

Show in window

When option "Show fullscreen" is disabled - video will be shown in a widow. This parameter is for window position and size.
For example, "50,60,640,400" - means 50 pixels offset from the left side of display border, 60 pixels offset from the top, 640 pixels is the width of the window and 400 pixels is height of the window.

Splash/Intro

Tab "Splash screen"

Splash screen - it's like a wallpaper. Any standard JPG or PNG image up to 1920x1080 pixels resolution. This Image will be shown on all connected displays when no active video from the main camera. On this settings page possible to upload a new splash screen image file.

Default splash screen file with Cosmostreamer logo (C/S) can be downloaded here

Tab "Logo"

"Logo" is simply an additional image file (PNG with a transparent background). It is displayed in fullscreen mode on top of all other media — including the splash screen, background video, or main camera video — so it is always visible. You can use it to overlay your own logo on the video.

Instead of setting a logo position I made more simple - this logo image is shown as a fullscreen, so you could just choose plase for your small logo in any image editor.
