Broadcast solutions company Evertz is adding JPEG XS to its NEXX next-generation processing and routing platform.
The NEXX is a complex, processing-capable 12G-SDI routing platform that is available in two frame options (3RU and 5RU) and supports 12G-SDI routing in the 5RU frame.
The NEXX-IO-JXS is a universal IO module for JPEG XS encoding and decoding for any format and interface, said the company.
The module supports multiple channels of uncompressed video (up to 8K) over SMPTE ST 2110 and SDI interfaces, as well as JPEG XS TR-07 and TR-08 profiles. The NEXX-IO-JXS card supports SMPTE ST 2022-7 for decoding, audio embedding and de-embedding, ancillary data processing and built in frame synchronisation, added Evertz.
“With the introduction of JPEG XS, we are expanding the capabilities and possibilities of our flexible NEXX platform,” said Rajvir Singh, technical product manager of compression systems at Evertz.
“JPEG XS is a game-changer for IP-based video production, as it delivers the same quality as uncompressed video 3G, 4K, 8K with much lower bandwidth requirements, low latency, while being color space agnostic and utilising a small footprint. Our NEXX-IO-JXS card doubles the density of our existing of our previous generation offering, the ev670-X45-HW.”
