JPEG 2000 UHDTV 4K & 8K codecs integrated in a single chip 28nm FPGA

intoPIX has launched ULTRAHDTV JPEG2000 codecs, called IPX-JPUHD developed on the new generation of 28nm FPGA from Altera and Xilinx. The codecs fit in a single and cost effective FPGA chip. These codecs achieve 60 frames per second with a respective maximum compression bitrate of 2Gbps for 4K and 8Gbps for 8K at a visually lossless quality.

“With this new codec implemented in a single FPGA chip, intoPIX is offering a flexible solution for the future production workflows in Cinema and in Broadcast, from capture to post-production”. “We are focusing on providing 4K and 8K codecs with the lowest footprint & lowest power consumption achievable in the current FPGA”, said Gael Rouvroy, CTO of intoPIX.

The first product release is planned for Q4 2012. IntoPIX will be exhibiting at the IBC tradeshow in Amsterdam (Hall 10. D31 – 7-11 September) and will share more details about the targeted FPGA devices and release timeframe .
