Lawo will continue promoting JPEG XS together with intoPIX after the success of the vm_jpegXS app

IntoPIX y Theirs have signed an agreement to boost native JPEG XS support for new products through the adoption of the TICO-XS codec.

Support for lossless compression technology JPEG XS in HD and UHD resolutions will allow users of the new applications managed by Home of the Law encode, process and decode compressed IP streams. The objective of the German firm is to offer television channels the possibility of encode and decode compressed streams when necessary to accelerate the creation of high-quality distributed content. Compatibility with JPEG XS It is integrated into the new applications of Home (Multiviewer, UDX conversion with HDR processing and Stream Transcoder), which can be discovered in NAB 2023. This announcement comes after the good reception and “popularity” of the application vm_jpegXS of Theirs for your platform V__matrix.

JPEG XS offers broadcast quality compression ratios of up to 12:1, which makes them especially adapted to WAN-based IP networks, in which bandwidth is usually limited. JPEG XS (ISO/IEC 21122) provides lossless visual quality with a sub-millisecond delay (<1 fotograma de vídeo) y está diseñado para aplicaciones en las que la latencia es crítica, como las producciones de eventos remotos en directo a través de redes de área extensa.

From the perspective of Theirs, Phil Myers, chief technology officer, says that JPEG XS support “has become something essential para ofrecer a los operadores la flexibilidad necesaria para maximizar el uso del ancho de banda”. “Cada vez más, las señales IP viajan desde una ubicación remota a dos o más destinos, y a veces incluso de vuelta. Esto requeriría anchos de banda de fibra óptica de 100 GbE o superiores para señales sin comprimir, lo que supone un mayor coste. Nuestras aplicaciones HOME Multiviewer, UDX conversion con procesamiento HDR y Stream Transcoder admiten de forma nativa la entrada y salida de JPEG XS. Obviamente, nuestra intención es ofrecer la misma comodidad en el extremo para lograr la máxima agilidad y flexibilidad en el futuro”, añade Myers.
