+Single-camera stream
+--------------------
+
+In addition to the regular mixed stream, you can (since Nageru 1.9.2)
+siphon out MJPEG streams consisting of a single camera only. This is useful
+either for running a very cheap secondary stream (say, a static overview camera
+that you would like to show on a separate screen somewhere), or for simple
+monitoring during debugging.
+
+The URL for said stream is “http://yourserver.example.org:9095/feeds/N.mp4”,
+where N is the card index (starting from zero). The feed is in MJPEG format
+and MP4 mux, regardless of other settings, just like the multicamera mux
+for Futatabi. (You are allowed to use a card that is not part of the
+multicamera mux, if you have limited the number of such cards.) For
+more technical details, see :ref:`futatabiformat`. Kaeru can transcode such
+streams to a more manageable bitrate/format, if you wish.
