The advantages of JPEG 2000 compression technology are a result of its underlying structure. Conceived as an image codec and intra-frame based encoding scheme, losses are limited to a single frame or less. This brings tremendous benefits to service providers, especially with the growing demands of HD. Nevion’s advanced JPEG 2000 solutions combine the highest quality, very low latency—typically 1.5 frames or less—scalability, and cost efficiency, meeting the urgent challenges faced by today’s broadcasters.

• Highly flexible codestream
• Visually lossless quality with no blocking or tiling
• Exceptionally low latency, ideal for interactive applications
• Ideal compression scheme for video over IP applications
• Lower complexity contributes to lower cost and less power & space consumption

In independent comparison tests, Nevion’s JPEG 2000 solution was found to be superior to existing JPEG 2000 solutions found in the market today. This is borne out by the fact that Nevion’s JPEG 2000 solution was selected by the EBU for the carriage of contribution video feeds from the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. This decision was based solely on technical superiority, where it was shown that Nevion’s JPEG 2000 solution produced higher quality images than any other available solution.
