Ross Video and Embrionix to demonstrate transport of JPEG 2000 over IP

The new OpenGear modules will allow video to be moved in real time over IP networks, maintaining quality and low latency.

Ross Video y Embrionix Demonstrations will be carried out at NAB 2015 with OpenGear modules to transport SMPTE ST-2022- 2 / TR-01, JPEG 2000 (J2K) over IP using the new Embrionix J2K decoder with Small Form Factor Pluggable Transceiver (SFP) technology.

Ross intends to offer a new line of OpenGear J2K solutions based on new SFP technology. These modules will provide high quality and low latency video connections between locations connected via IP, thus being able to connect headquarters or studios in different locations.

Eric Goodmurphy, Director of Infrastructure Products at Ross, commented that "these modules will provide a good complement for live production, responding to the need of many of our customers to move video in real time over IP networks, while maintaining quality and low latency. Since we already use SFP modules in our baseband uncompressed fiber portfolio, it is proving relatively easy to adapt these to IP by simply connecting the new Embrionix SFPs and integrating control software."

Ross fiber blocking technology will remain in these modules. Ross Lock provides a blind-mate fiber connection to the back of the OpenGear rack, keeping active components out of the back and allowing rapid hot-swapping of front-end modules while ensuring signal integrity.
