Mathematically Lossless JPEG 2000 Encoders & Decoders IP-cores
Keeping image quality intact has always been the priority in the Archiving and Storage, but also in Post-Production, Contribution and Exhibition.
Nowadays, our digital era is associating this need with an increasingly pressing issue: increased resolution, frame rates and quality are making bandwidth and storage needs skyrocket. Cutting in half or even by three your storage and distribution needs while keeping every bit of information unaltered is now possible with the Mathematically Lossless processing of JPEG 2000 and the intoPIX M-Lossless family

JPEG 2000 Benefits for Archiving, Post-Production and Contribution
JPEG 2000 and its mathematically lossless compression capability is the format for all applications where bit-to-bit integrity is a must. Providing images that have exactly the same information as the original, mathematically lossless compression provides pictures that weigh an average of 2 to 3 times less. It is the ideal solution for long time digital archiving or for successive post-production stages of image processing.
Furthermore, JPEG 2000’s resolution scalability will seamlessly allow the extraction of small resolution proxies out of the full quality version, for content navigation purposes in archived data-bases or during post-production processes.
