Which areaDetector driver are you using, i.e. for what detector/camera?

I am talking about an areaDetector plugin written at Diamond which takes
uncompressed detector images, compresses them to mjpeg and serves them
in an http server so they can be displayed in Web browsers and other
applicatations.

http://controls.diamond.ac.uk/downloads/support/mjpgServer/index.html

This is from the documentation:

"This module is an Linux only mjpg server plug-in for another EPICS
support module/framework: areaDetector by Mark Rivers, University of
Chicago. It makes extensive use of the http server from the
mjpeg-streamer project, and uses a combination of this and jpeglib to
allow clients such as Firefox or MPlayer to view a compressed stream of
the data produced by an areaDetector driver."

Mark, 

Are you talking about the Motion JPEG for CCD?
I use the areaDetector driver and am using NFS to access the data.
Is the MJPEG plugin your are talking about used to access/display the
CCD images?

As a side note, I am currently looking at a 10Hz rate acquisition CCD.
That could be a nice feature to have....

Is anyone familiar with adxv?

Is anything more recent? 
The GUI is so ... 1990s!

Thanks,
