MJPEG Insights

What is MJPEG?

Motion JPEG (MJPEG) is a video compression format in which each frame of video is compressed as a separate JPEG image. It's commonly used in applications like IP cameras, digital cameras, and video editing where frame-by-frame access and lower latency are important, even at the cost of higher bandwidth usage compared to more advanced video codecs.
