JPEG XS – Advantages in brief

  • Professional formats: Support of RGB/444, RGBA/4444, YCbCr 444/422, YCbCrA 4444/42224, and YCbCr 420 image formats of up to 12 bits per color component sample precision with the option to extend it to 16 bits in the future
  • Highest fidelity: Visually lossless, i.e. no visible degradation, even over multiple compression/decompression cycles. The latter is known by the term “multi-generation robustness.”
  • Low latency: Maximum 32 lines end-to-end (compression-decompression) latency in hardware, in special modes even subline latency.
  • Bitrate: Exact bitrate allocation per frame slice avoiding data overshooting
  • Parallelism: Support for multiple platforms e.g. FPGA, ASIC, GPU, and CPU, by high degree of parallelism
  • High Performance: Real-time software implementation capability for 4k/60p formats on today’s standard computers.
  • Low complexity: defined as a maximum percentage of a specific low-cost FPGA. No external frame buffer required in embedded applications. In particular, individual frames shall be decoded independently
  • Typical compression ratios: 2:1 - 10:1
