Simplifies the integration of The World's Most Efficient JPEG XS Software into GStreamer !

intoPIX has expanded its powerful FastTicoXS SDK, widely acclaimed for ultra-low-latency, visually lossless JPEG XS encoding/decoding, by releasing a Codec Plugin Pack for GStreamer. This extends seamless integration of the FastTicoXS codec into GStreamer-based pipelines—opening up advanced, high-performance media workflows for developers, broadcasters, and AV professionals.

What’s FastTicoXS SDK?

It is the world’s fastest JPEG XS low-latency software codec!

intoPIX FastTicoXS is a high-performance JPEG XS codec SDK available across CPU, GPU, and ARM platforms. It delivers visually lossless compression with minimal latency, suitable for HD, 4K, 8K, and beyond workflows.

The intoPIX JPEG XS SDK is speedy and provides an extended range of advanced features. Recent enhancements include the new JPEG XS TDC profile, which provides superior efficiency in 4K/8K AV-over-IP and live production, as well as a proxy mode for lightweight, zero-latency preview streams.

Why this new GStreamer Codec Plugin Pack Matters for JPEG XS

GStreamer is an extensible multimedia framework built around plugin-based pipelines—you string together elements like sources, codecs, filters, and sinks to define how media flows. See the illustration.

The introduction of a new FastTicoXS GStreamer plugin pack means developers can now drop in JPEG XS encoding/decoding modules directly into existing GStreamer graphs, simplifying integration of high-efficiency, threshold-zero-latency compression in real-world video systems.

But this is not all - you also get access to the unique benefits of the FastTicoXS SDK

Build extremly low latency applications thanks to the SDK's speed and embedded low latency API.
Boost performance with native support of large pixel format sets, avoiding costly conversion.
Support master/proxy workflows : generating low-res instant previews, while decoding full-res masters as needed.

The new Codec Plugin Pack for Gstreamer comes with all that's needed to start building your pipeline.

FastTicoXS Encoder plugins (for our CPU or GPU SDK) accept uncompressed video (e.g., raw frames) and outputs JPEG XS stream packets. These packets can be transported (e.g., via MPEG-TS, RTP or IPMX/ST 2110) or stored.
FastTicoXS Decoder plugins receive the compressed stream and output decoded video for further processing, playback, or storage.

With the launch of FastTicoXS SDK integrated into GStreamer via a dedicated plugin pack, intoPIX unlocks powerful, low-latency JPEG XS workflows for the open-source GStreamer ecosystem. Whether you're building low latency video distribution systems, streaming apps, or live production systems —this integration dramatically simplifies adoption while delivering top-tier performance.

Integrating intoPIX codecs into GStreamer with our codec pack is just one step in achieving true end-to-end low-latency performance. From optimized transport protocols to efficient buffering and synchronization strategies, our team understands every link in the real-time video chain. Contact us to explore how we can help you overcome the deeper technical challenges of designing low-latency video systems—from cameras to screens, from encoding to playback and beyond.
