​TICO-RDD35 by intoPIX

TICO-RDD35 is a disruptive, innovative, visually lossless, light-weight and line-based compression specifically designed to be used instead of uncompressed video in many applications. This revolutionary technology is extremely tiny in FPGA or ASIC, fast and powerful in CPU or GPU, and robust for real-time operation with no latency.

Up to now, image and video were sent or stored uncompressed within many electronic devices and infrastructures (display, camera, mobile, servers, recorders, ...) . 

TICO-RDD35 is a smart upgrade path to manage higher resolutions (4K, 8K, …) and frame rates while assuring visual quality, keeping power and bandwidth at a reasonable budget and significantly reducing the complexity and cost of a system, a chip or an infrastructure.

TICO-RDD35 is easy to integrate. Code, hardware IP-cores and software libraries are licensable from intoPIX. The technology and associated products are covered by one or more claims of patents awarding intoPIX's hard work and innovation.

Submitted to SMPTE as SMPTE RDD35 with the support of the 50+ TICO Alliance members


TICO is the solution ! 

Support higher Data Streams (HD, 4K, 8K …) in existing systems and infrastructures using the available pipeline bandwidth.

Enable the use of a lower link rate for applications where high link rates may not be possible.

Increase the number of streams or the stream resolution that could be supported in a multi-stream configuration.

Reduce the number of lanes in a display or sensor interface needed to transport a stream in order to save power, cost, or both.

Significantly reduce the internal video bandwidth (and power consumption) in systems such as mobile devices, cameras, video servers and displays.

Increase the storage, video buffer or frame buffer capacity with cost-effectiveness for applications where high link rates may not be possible.
