In order to playback visual content in PHOTON, you have to convert your media files — .jpeg, .png, .targa, .tiff, .mov, etc. — to the .vci file format. .vci media conversion does not compress media. Prior to file conversion, you should choose what kind of video encoding you will apply to the media content. Compression can only be done in color space. PHOTON is a frame accurate system and does not support temporal or spatial compression.
