Updating Images on the Fly

Streaming RAW Images to a Page. If you wish to stream an image to a page the easiest method is to convert it to a Binary 64 data type. Red dot This will enable IE to render the image as if it was stored on the server. Intrestingly this concept could work on the premise of playing a silent video clip at 1 frame per second in that if we store the Binary in a database we could in theory poll AJAX to and stream the image every second to the browsers image control updating it on the fly. In a company where I previously worked we used this approach to enable the user to scroll through footage as we took Keyframes every so many seconds that they could in essence watch the feed.
