    1080p notes for MJPEG and H264

    *CAM300 USB limitations and optimizations for up to 1080p

    The USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 cameras that only support uncompressed video will have reduced video resolution to optimize fluidity. Due to hardware limitations, only 1x 1920x1080p30 MJPEG and 1x 1280x720p30 MJPEG video resolutions can be captured simultaneously.

    For better performance and video fluidity, use USB 3.0 or 2.0 cameras that support MJPEG or H264 CODECs.

    You have two options to achieve 1080p on two video sources for the CAM300:

    Option 1

    • 1x USB camera (1080p MJPEG or H264 CODECs)

    • 1x 1080p HDMI camera

    Option 2 

    • 1x USB camera (1080p MJPEG or H264 CODECs)

    • 1x USB camera (1080p or higher) connected to the CAM300 HDMI input via the INOGENI U-CAM converter (4K USB to HDMI converter)
