(640 x 480 pixels) X (2 bytes per pixel) = 614,400 bytes per frame All of the CMOS cameras output in a RGB format or similar - raw image data. For most cameras, this is 16 bits per pixel. Without doing our own compression, this image data would be impossible to send wirelessly. There is a library for C to convert RGB data to JPEG format, which then possibly be converted to MJPEG on the controller side. This could possibly be used on-board, but the speed would have to be tested.
