2 Introduction
JPEG format: Joint Photographic Experts Group. JPEG is a still-image graphics format that
allows for variable levels of quality (compression). JPEG and GIF are the most commonly
used image formats on the Internet. JPEG may be used for either full-color or black-and-
white graphic images, and because JPEG supports greater pixel depth, it allows for more
colors than GIF files. JPEG files are usually smaller in size than GIF files. Some other
advantages of JPEG over GIF include higher compression ratios (faster downloading) and
excellent results in photos.
RTD (Real Time Data): A Daktronics protocol for sending data from one application to
another on the same or different machines.
