alt Hacker NewsRelated: for some hardware project, I have a backend server (either C++ or python) receiving frames from an industrial camera, uncompressed.
And I need these frames displayed in a web browser client but on the same computer (instead of network trip like in this article).
How would you do this ?
I eventually did more or less like OP with uncompressed frames.
My goal is to minimize CPU usage on the computer. Would h264 compression be a good thing here given source and destination are the same machine?
Other ideas?
NB: this camera cannot be directly accessed by the browser.

It depends. I have many questions.

No.

1. Why does it need to be displayed in a web browser (as opposed to more appropriate / better performing software specifically built for video)?
2. via what interface/library is the camera connected to the machine? What format/codec is the uncompressed stream you're getting from the camera?
3. I am available at very reasonable consulting rates
