Thanks for your suggestion. I understand MJPEG consumes more data rate (it
looks 5x to 10x). However Motion JPEG is widely used in addition to H.264
in my target application.

My job is to build a field mode Motion JPEG streamer from a live interlaced
video source (It seems Elphel only supports progressive scan).

My plan is a) to set up a MJPEG RTP streamer on PC first and test; b) if it
works in push mode without RTSP/TCP, move it into target device which
prefers to supports UDP only.

Any help and advice from you are appreciated.
