| Container/Codec | MP4 AVC | MP4 AVC/HEVC | MPEG TS AVC/MPEG2 | JPEG(4K) | JPEG | BMP | PNG | GIF | HTML |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

(*1) Only the initial playback does not play seamlessly
(*2) If the WebAppRuntime version less than 2.1.3 and the playlist contains videos, the transition cannot be seamless. You can have seamless playback if the JPEG image type is set to “Image (4K)” in playlist settings. However, changing the type of JPEG image from “Image” to “Image(4K)” makes a difference in image quality.
(*3) Not seamless depending on HTML content.
(*4) WebAppRuntime 2.1.3 or later.
