Transmitting RPI Screen to Ground Pi instead of camera #222

I just want to start off and say this is an incredible project and the DIY RC community has benefitted greatly from it.

On the note of my issue, my question is simple. How would you transmit video of your desktop on the raspberry pi to the ground pi instead of streaming the camera footage directly?

I saw another issue very similar where someone asked how to transmit the camera footage after they had edited it with OpenCV Python. I tried reading that one, but I got a little lost in all the back and forth comments. If someone could provide a clear and conclusive answer for how to transmit a video stream from a python program through the EZ-WifiBroadCast system instead of transmitting the camera video directly, I would greatly appreciate it.

Dealing with the original question if I know how to transmit a video I can simply screenshot my desktop and transmit that at an acceptable frame rate. Please help!
