intoPIX Launches Compact JPEG2000 Encoder FPGA IP Cores |
| The recent Altera Cyclone V and Xilinx Artix-7 FPGAs are made to help lower system cost and power consumption for high-volume, high-performance applications and provide efficient logic integration capabilities, with new small package options and a development kit. As a JPEG 2000 IP-core provider for broadcast and cinema video applications, intoPIX maintains that their compact JPEG2000 IP-core systems on the Cyclone V and Artix 7 FPGAs enable users to go to market much faster than previously, using the intoPIX reference applications and hardware development kit. |

High quality compression is a major field of development for the company. The compact IP cores are part of intoPIX JPEG2000 encoding and decoding products made for video over IP applications. They are designed with JPEG2000 codecs achieving less than 1 frame end to end latency, and include a new group of Ultra High Definition 4K and 8K high frame rate codecs. At the Integrated Systems Europe 2013 tradeshow in late January, intoPIX showed an early version the new compact systems for professional video working in the smallest FPGA families, an area to which the use of hardware accelerated JPEG2000 codecs have not generally applied. |

At ISE, intoPIX demonstrated its new reference JPEG 2000 application using the Altera Cyclone V GX FPGA Development Kit, integrating an early version of the JPEG 2000 compact codec IP-core, optimized for Cyclone V FPGA and also using the Alse GEDEK Streaming IP-core to run a chain of video-over-IP transmission. This reference application uses standardized Altera IP-core interfaces enabling a fast integration into new designs. It also allows customization, using only those IP-cores necessary for the targeted application. www.intopix.com |
