No visible difference from the uncompressed source. 10/12/16-bit, HDR, 4K and beyond.
Resolutions are moving to 4K, 8K and stereo 3D, with high bit depths and HDR. Cables must get thinner, camera heads smaller and power budgets tighter. AI models need every detail of the image, and remote specialists need it now. Clinicians still expect exactly what they would see through a direct connection, with no perceptible delay. intoPIX compression makes all of this possible without compromising the image.

Surgical robotics & AI
Surgical robotics & AI
Surgical robots and AI guidance need many high-resolution streams, often stereo 3D, at the GPU at once. With intoPIX on the NVIDIA Holoscan Sensor Bridge, connect more cameras at higher resolutions over standard Ethernet while tool detection and segmentation models perform as on uncompressed video.
Endoscopic & medical cameras
Endoscopic & medical cameras
Compress RAW sensor data right in the camera head with TicoRAW / JPEG XS RAW. Thinner, more flexible cables, higher resolutions over existing links, and the full RAW Bayer data preserved for downstream ISP and AI.
AI-assisted imaging
AI-assisted imaging
Deliver full-fidelity frames to GPU and edge AI engines in real time, with no artifacts to mislead inference. Move and store RAW data for model training and post-processing at a fraction of the bandwidth.
Teleoperation & telesurgery
Teleoperation & telesurgery
Remote guidance, tele-mentoring and telesurgery depend on low, predictable latency. JPEG XS adds only microseconds of codec delay, so the network is the only variable and remote interaction stays responsive.
Wireless connectivity
Wireless connectivity
Bring 4K video within reach of Wi-Fi, 5G, UWB and 60 GHz links for cable-free operating rooms and mobile imaging carts, with deterministic latency.
LAN / WAN & IP operating rooms
LAN / WAN & IP operating rooms
Route any source to any display, recorder or remote site. JPEG XS over SMPTE ST 2110-22 and IPMX, with NMOS control, runs on standard 1/10/25 GbE infrastructure across the campus and over WAN.
TicoRAW - JPEG XS RAW
Compress RAW at the sensor. Keep every photon for the ISP and AI.
Compress RAW at the sensor. Keep every photon for the ISP and AI.
In an endoscope, space, heat and power are tightly limited. TicoRAW and JPEG XS RAW compress the RAW Bayer data directly in the camera head, before any processing, so the full sensor information reaches the processing unit, and the image pipeline and AI can work on the real data.
Thinner, more flexible cables
Fewer lanes and lower bandwidth through the scope and tether.
Higher resolution, same link
Move to 4K and higher frame rates over existing interfaces.
RAW preserved downstream

intoPIX × NVIDIA Holoscan Sensor Bridge
More sensors, more pixels, same Ethernet link. Ready for NVIDIA Holoscan.
More sensors, more pixels, same Ethernet link. Ready for NVIDIA Holoscan.
NVIDIA Holoscan is the reference AI platform for next-generation surgical and medical devices. The Holoscan Sensor Bridge streams sensor data over Ethernet straight into GPU memory. intoPIX adds TicoRAW / JPEG XS RAW compression inside the sensor bridge FPGA, with decoding on the NVIDIA GPU.
Several times more sensor bandwidth per link
More cameras, higher resolutions, higher frame rates or stereo 3D over the same 10GbE.
RAW data preserved for AI
ISP and inference run on the GPU with full-fidelity sensor data.
Latency kept ultra-low
