What is the function of the Axis Internet Appliance?
The Axis Internet appliance is basically a stand alone Linux-on-a-Chip server with an integrated NTSC Video Digitizer. These devices capture NTSC/PAL video encode them as JPEG images and then stream the images out as multipart JPEG, which they (AXIS) calls MJPEG format. When a MJPG video is requested, the AXIS units server returns a continuously flow of jpeg files via httpd . The content type is “multipart/x-mixed-replace” and each image ends with a boundary string. The returned image and HTTP data is equal to the request for a single JPEG image.
