Answer 1

How are HD video streams transferred?

Typically as a video stream, which a 'group of images' is not. Video codecs often have clever ways to compress groups of images further, e.g. by only showing the part of the next frame that is different to the previous one.

You might also want to look into encoding the images as a high compression JPEG.

Having said that, I doubt you'll get a very good transfer rate at that size in pixels.
