Meet FlinQ
Optimized for the full variety of screen-content:Excel tables, fine text, natural video, CGI, video games, ...
FlinQ™ technology means "Flawless Link Quality". This is an innovative image processor invented by intoPIX that enables higher quality and a significant gain of efficiency for high performance and reliable visual communication with a very low power consumption. FlinQ™ technology delivers flawless video quality and display transmission over both wired and wireless links.
It opens up a realm of new capabilities to manage pixel perfect 4K and 8K display and video content, leveraging existing IT infrastructures and networks with very low power consumption, while safeguarding micro-second latency.
The FlinQ technology and associated products are covered by one or more claims of patent, awarding intoPIX's hard work and innovation.
The 30:1 FlinQ difference.
Displays and video are everywhere to deliver us content with higher quality, higher dynamic range and higher resolutions.
But these new technologies pose a serious challenge for continued connectivity due to extensive data rates and high bandwidth requirements.
Traditionally, there are 2 methods this problem is dealt with:
Traditional method 1
Choosing large bandwidth streaming solutions
keeps quality high, but results in a high replacement cost, involving complex and power-hungry devices, cabling and infrastructures.
Traditional method 2
Others settle for strong trade-offs and sacrifice quality through downsampling (from 444 to 420), traditional video compression (H264, HEVC, MJPEG) and other tricks that impact either quality, or latency or both at the same time.
The FlinQ method:
FlinQ™ does not compromise and proposes a novel approach through innovative pixel processing, enabling better quality pixels with a smaller bandwidth usage. (about 30 times less bandwidth)
