H520 / CGO-ET manipulate stream quality

Hello,

we are using a H520 together with a CGO-ET in out fire department. If i take photos or videos during flight and download them from the SD card after landing, the quality is as expected. But the live video on the remote (and the HDMI output) seems to be heavily compressed. I understand, that the WiFi connection has a limited bandwidth and the video can not be transferred in HD/30 fps, but I wonder if it is possible to change the settings of the corresponding H264 stream. There are situations where I would like a live view with improved quality and could accept a worse frame rate. For example a nearly uncompressed image every 2 seconds would be sufficient. Especially when visualizing the live view on a big monitor, the compression artifacts can be quite annoying.

Is there any parameter on the CGO-ET to manipulate the generated H264 stream?

I am talking about the "natural", not the thermal imaging.

Thanks,
Florian
 
I have not seen any way to do that. I believe it is a limitation of the wifi card in the camera. The E90 transmits a 720p signal but I'm not sure what the CGO-ET is sending. It might be lower.
 
The CGO-ET also sends a 720p stream with a frame rate of (approx.) 2 fps:
