All networked players can play streaming Mjpeg video. See this FAQ to learn more about supported video streaming formats and codecs.

Note

Unlike other video types, there is no limit on the amount of Mjpeg streams you can display on screen. However, adding more than a certain number of windows (depending on the player model and stream quality) will begin to reduce the framerate of the videos.

  • State Name: Specify a unique name for the stream state.

  • URL for video stream: Enter a valid URL for the stream. The URL can also include a number of optional parameters:

    • Specify a User Variable to replace all or part of the URL. To include the Value of the variable in the URL, enter the variable Name between two sets of dollar signs (e.g. "http://www.example.com/streams/$$my_URLvar$$").

    • Append the "?latency=[value_in_ms]" parameter to modify the default latency (see this FAQ for more details).

    • Append the "?buffersize=[size_in_bytes]" parameter to modify the default streaming buffer size (see this FAQ for more details).

  • Rotation: Specify the clockwise rotation of the streaming video.

  • Time on screen: Specify the duration (in seconds) that the stream will be played. This option is only available in non-interactive presentations. To customize the duration of a stream in an interactive presentation, use a Timeout or Media End event.
