This is communicated through a fifo to the encoder. It also reads DLS from a file, and includes this information in the PAD. +If ImageMagick is available +--------------------------- It can read all file formats supported by ImageMagick, and by default resizes them to 320x240 pixels, and compresses them as JPEG. If the input file is already a JPEG file of the correct size, and smaller than 50kB, it is sent without further compression. If the input file is a PNG that satisfies the same criteria, it is transmitted as PNG without any recompression. +RAW Format +---------- +If ImageMagick is not available, or when enable with the -R option, the images +are not modified, and are transmitted as-is.
