Sergey,

We tried live555.com (it was just live.com then) with the 333 camera (Ross
Finlayson wrote it himself), but because of the limited power of the Axis
CPU it was not fast enough, so we wrote the custom streamer optimized for
the lower power CPU and specifics of the cameras. The code is in
apps/astreamer.

As for the monochrome stream - it is just MJPEG. For color JP4 variants are
preferable.

PS. Are you aware, that if you are going to modify the FPGA code and then
distribute it outside of your organization/company (as code or as part of
the camera firmware) it is also bound by the terms of the GNU GPLv3 license?
