The following products have two USB Video output formats: uncompressed (YUY2) and compressed (MJPEG):

• UVC-02
• V-02HD MK 2
• V-160HD

With most software, you will not see a noticeable difference between uncompressed and compressed.

But when using it with software that cannot control the video resolution or format, such as Zoom or Teams, the compressed format will be automatically selected.

 

This is due to the software's design, which provides stability to the streaming environment.

The video image will have pixelization and color banding artifacts.
