Hi,
In theory, vic support MJPEG, so sending these to a venue could work. However, I don't think that MJPEG is very well defined, and I have seen different implementations that are not entirely compatible with each other.
One other option then is to stream the MJPEG to a PC where it can be decoded and re-encoded as H.261/H.261AS/H.264 for sending to the AG. We had a student do something like this for a Sony Aibo Dog, which worked well (although the camera quality in this case was bad).
Andrew :)
