Moving JPEG
M-JPEG
Motion JPEG
<graphics, compression> (M-JPEG) A compression technique for
moving {images} which applies {JPEG} still image compression
to each {frame} of a moving picture sequence.
Play-back requires a machine capable of decompressing and
displaying each JPEG image quickly enough to sustain the
required {frame rate} of the picture sequence.
There is no standard for Moving JPEG as with JPEG, but there
are JPEG compression chips (for example see Zoran
(http://zoran.com/)) which are designed to work at
television frame rates and {resolutions}.
See also {MPEG} and {MPEG2}.
