The new generation of TICO cores compresses
ultra-high-definition 8K video combined with Ultra-High Density and
Low Power Consumption for FPGA and ASIC
intoPIX, a leading provider of innovative compression
technology, today announces new TICO compression IP-cores managing
8K resolutions. The cores offer unique performances at a very light
implementation cost for handling HD, 4K and 8K content. The
technology is particularly suitable for reducing bandwidth and
preserving image quality without any delay in new 8K
applications.
The new intoPIX cores have been successfully implemented by
several AV equipment manufacturers to support next-generation
broadcasting services. They enable the industry to simplify the
management of Live 8K video production using today’s cost-effective
IP networks or SDI infrastructure. TICO compression is today the
most flexible choice to manage the colossal bandwidth requirements
and to simplify the interface complexity for transporting
uncompressed 8K video.
New TICO UHD8K IP-cores Features Include:
- Support of 8K and UltraHD 8K video at
frame rates up to 60p
- Support 4:2:2 workflows up to 10bit
(other modes will be available in future releases)
- Smallest Intel / Xilinx FPGA footprint
(no external DDR)
- Best quality up to 5:1 compression
(from Mathematically lossless to Visually Lossless)
- Few pixel lines of latency (less than 1
milliseconds end-to-end)
- Free downscaler to decode 4K resolution
from 8K TICO source without any additional processing
Availability
- TICO 8K IP-cores are now fully
available for integration by manufacturers.
Targeted 8K applications includes:
- Zero latency Transport of high-quality
8K signal towards 10 GbE and 25 GbE IP networks.
- Zero latency Transport of high-quality
8K signal towards a single 12G-SDI.
- 8K/VR/AR/360° video capture and
transmission
“The release of the TICO UHD 8K cores represents also a real
breakthrough, delivering cost-effective high frame rate 8K up to
60p for building several advanced 8K products, including new HDMI
2.1 extensions solutions over IP networks” said Jean-Baptiste
Lorent, Marketing Director, intoPIX.
