intoPIX, the leader
in JPEG 2000 solutions, announced today that the University
of Essex and the Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center
have selected the new JPEG 2000 4K Streaming system called
SYX-JP4K and developed by intoPIX.
At the end of last year, during the official
opening of the Essex Ultra High Definition facility, the new
intoPIX 4K Streaming system was demonstrated. At that occasion,
a complete encoding-streaming-decoding chain was achieved
for 4K material between the Poznan Supercomputing and Networking
Center to the Essex facility, in real time. This connection
was achieved via dedicated high speed links through national
and European research network infrastructures.
intoPIX’ future proof JPEG 2000 technology
fits perfectly the ever-increasing demand of Ultra High Definition
(UHD) and other emerging media formats that go beyond today’s
HD.
“In the near future, Broadcasters will
be able to shoot and transmit real-time in UHD resolutions.
By using JPEG2000 compression, broadcast facilities will benefit
from an efficient scalability, specially well-suited for handling
high resolution material. It is an intrinsic feature of JPEG
2000 to be capable to extract HD from an UHD stream in real-time,
without need of transcoding, cropping, downscaling or any
other additional processing” explained Gael Rouvroy,
CTO of intoPIX.
intoPIX has already announced new versions
of the SYX-JP4K system for 2010, capable of 8K encoding, streaming
and decoding in real-time.
