TICO-XS by intoPIX

"We invented the ultimate codec to manage and transmit more pixels with lower power, low bandwidth, and lossless quality at the speed of light"
Engineered by intoPIX, TICO-XS is an evolution of TICO RDD35 offering more compression capabilities with an extremely small footprint in ASIC and FPGA and fast performances on CPU & GPU

intoPIX has made significant intellectual property development in lightweight low latency video compression, from inventing and standardizing the world’s smallest and fastest mezzanine compression technology TICO (SMPTE RDD35) supported by the TICO Alliance, to being the proponent and co-developer for creating the world first international ISO standard JPEG-XS technology addressing this matter.

The technology and associated products are covered by one or more claims of patents awarding intoPIX hard work and innovation. The new TICO-XS will gather momentum during this year.

Due to increasing resolutions (4K/8K), higher frame rates, 360° capture and higher quality pixels (e.g. HDR), all devices and infrastructures have to handle ever increasing data volumes. Whether virtual reality, gaming, live production, automotive or digital cinema workflows, JPEG-XS mezzanine codec standard can be applied wherever uncompressed video is currently used.

As a lightweight image coding system, it offers also line based latency with compression ratios from 2:1 to 6:1 (or even more) while maintaining lossless quality.

JPEG-XS is the first ISO standard (ISO/IEC 21112) designed for latency-critical applications offering lossless quality at low complexity.

SAFEGUARDING ALL ADVANTAGES OF AN UNCOMPRESSED STREAM

Low power consumption (through lightweight processing),
Ultra low-latency in coding and decoding.
Lossless picture quality
Small size on chip
Fast on software (CPU with the use of SIMD and GPU)

WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN REQUIRED BANDWIDTH & COST

Low power consumption (through reasonable bandwidth interfaces)
Longer cable runs
Perfect fit for existing and new infrastructures
More pixels at a reduced cost

(more resolutions, higher frame rates, higher bit depth)

APPLICATIONS

TICO-XS is the solution !

Support higher Data stream (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 or video buffer or frame buffer capacity with cost-effectiveness for applications where high link rates may not be possible
