Image Formats

The different file formats that are supported for images in the KreaTV IP-STB are GIF (including animated GIF), JPEG and PNG.

We recommend PNG over GIF because:

Please note that images rendered (shown) on a page consume much more memory than the compressed image file itself. This is because the image have to be unpacked completely before it is displayed.

Example: a JPG image is 640*480 pixels big, the file size is 50 KB. This will consume at least 640*480*4 = 1.2 MB of memory when rendered since a 32 bit color depth is used.
