TicoRAW is the new RAW !

intoPIX TicoRAW is a revolutionary RAW (Bayer) image processing and compression technology, extremely tiny and low power.


intoPIX has developped various architectures running at different pixel per clock to target a wide range of pixel rates/ frame rates/ image sensors resolutions and a wide range of FPGA devices & ASIC technology nodes. Encoding or Decoding can be achieved into the small AMD-Xilinx & Intel FPGAs, robust for real-time operation with no latency. intoPIX offers silicon-proven IP with very low gate count & SRAM consumption in ASICs.


With such a rapid evolution of available images, image sensors and video resolutions, the need for new ways to handle RAW / image sensor data is bigger than ever before. 


With TicoRAW, you can capture, transmit, store, edit, preserve, analyze,.. RAW Bayer data "more efficiently" with small bandwidth and file sizes, preserving the full flexibility of "RAW".


IP-cores Features

TicoRAW IP-cores are fully available and silicon-proven for FPGA and ASIC designs

 Image / Video 
  •  Color space: RAW (CFA-BAYER) - RGGB, RCCB, etc.
    • optional  Monochrome/Greyscale and 4:2:2* modes
  • Bit Depth: 8, 10, 12, 14, 16
  • Resolutions: Any (2Mpx to 160Mpx or more (see example for, HD, 2K, 4K, 8K, 10K hereunder) 
  • Pixel Rate / frame rate*: Any (depending on intoPIX IP-core configuration & targeted device)
TicoRAW Processing &  Compression
(Latency, Quality, Rate Control)  
  • (Sub) intra-frame : down to 0.1 millisecond
  • Real-time operation guaranteed (no overflow or underflow) 
  • Fixed latency - Only few lines of pixels (number of lines depends on the profile)
  • Adjustable compression ratio down to 1 bit per pixel
  • Support for lossy / visually lossless / near-lossless / mathematically. lossless 
  • CBR (Constant Bit Rate) operation (optional : Constant Quality mode)
  • ISP proxy output within decoder (Decoder IP-core Addon)
FPGA/ASIC Implementation
  • Various Pixel Per Clock architectures available to achieve the minimal footprint into the chip.
  •  Low-cost implementation in any FPGAs: very low FPGA logic and internal RAM usage (No external DDR required)
    • Fit in Xilinx (AMD) Spartan-6, Artix-7, Kintex-7, Kintex Ultrascale, Zynq, Virtex Ultrascale, UltrascalePlus, Versal
    • Fit in Intel Cyclone V,  Arria V, Stratix V, Cyclone 10, Arria 10, Stratix 10, Agilex
    • Fit in Lattice 
  • Low Gate Area (low gate count / low memory) for ASIC - Silicon Proven
  • Encoder and decoder have approximately the same complexity 
  • IP-core customizable per application 

* in 422 , the frame rate will be the half of the frame rate achieved in RAW Bayer mode

NEW - HD, 4K, 8K, 10K, 16K, 20K RAW ...
and your configuration for FPGA & ASIC

Based on all the features we are supporting, it is possible to provide custom versions to address your specific needs.
