JPEG XS

 

Fraunhofer JPEG XS SDK

JPEG XS is the new ISO/IEC video codec for broadcast studios, for local video networks in Pro-AV, automotive and machine vision applications and for device links such as connections to VR/AR glasses where visual lossless quality is required. With its sub-frame latency and lowest complexity, it is the ideal codec for intermediate compression in various use cases. The first edition of the standard supported typical video formats in RGB and YCrCb color space, whereas the second edition added support for CFA Bayer compression and the third edition improved compression for screen and mixed video content. Fraunhofer IIS provides JPEG XS SDKs to easily implement JPEG XS in typical workflows like camera to stream and stream to display.

Use Cases

JPEG XS is a stable and excellent International standard for visually lossless low-latency lightweight image coding, designed to compensate for continuously increasing bandwidth requirements in video transport links. Read more about current use cases.

Pro AV

JPEG XS enables all IP workflows with low latency of high quality images. This will put all Pro AV workflows to a next-level and offers cost and time efficient workflows.

Broadcast Production

JPEG XS is the ideal codec to allow broadcast equipment developers and implementers to benefit in terms of low latency and low complexity within their devices and equipment. It will boost the possibility to transmit extremely high-quality images and videos over IP and to set up collaborative, remote processes within a broadcast environment.

VR / AR / XR

JPEG XS is used in head-mounted displays for Virtual and Augmented Reality. For an immersive experience, screens with resolutions above 8 megapixels and 90 frames per second and per eye are required. Such applications require a very low latency coding scheme to ensure tight synchronization between motion and display.

Movie production

For movie production, images are stored as a recording format in cameras or in external recorders. JPEG XS as a mezzanine codec is an excellent codec for efficiently storing the movie content. In addition, caused by its low complexity, plugins for postproduction tools can be implemented with a very high performance.

Automotive Applications

In the automotive industry, autonomous driving is an important application. For this application multiple sensors are combined and their data transmitted to a Electronic Control Unit in which the data from the sensors are analysed and related actions calculated. Data from these sensors need to be processed with a high responsivenes.

Machine Vision Application

Machine Vision systems typically use cameras installed in the field, while the processing units for complex image analysis are mounted in 19” cabinets far away from the cameras. With JPEG XS an IP based connection between high resolution cameras and processing units are possible.

JPEG XS Software Development Kit

The JPEG XS codec is suitable for all purely IP-based video data transfers. It enables the transmission of high-resolution video data (HD, 4k, 8k) over standard Ethernet with ultra-low latency (< 1 frame). Thanks to the Fraunhofer SDK and the accompanying SDK Application Support Package, it is easy to use for CPU-, GPU- and FPGA-based applications.
The SDK is available under license for smaller and larger quantities.
