The TicoXS line of FPGA/ASIC cores represents a significant advancement in video compression technology, particularly suited for high-definition and ultra-high-definition media. These cores utilize the JPEG XS standard, which is renowned for its exceptional image quality and ultra-low latency, making it ideal for applications such as broadcasting, ProAV, and virtual reality where real-time performance is crucial. TicoXS cores are engineered to provide mathematically lossless image quality with compression ratios ranging from 2:1 to 12:1 and possibly beyond, while maintaining a minimal footprint in terms of power consumption and processing resources.
The design specifically targets the need for high-speed data processing, capable of fitting into the smallest of FPGA and ASIC devices, ensuring efficient real-time operation. Ideal for mapping 4K or even 8K resolutions over standard network infrastructures, it supports various color spaces and bit depths, including HDR. Its applications extend into live production workflows, where it ensures seamless transition from traditional uncompressed video formats to highly efficient compressed streams.
With its light processing requirements, TicoXS offers a cost-effective solution for high-performance video transmission without significant infrastructure upgrades. This flexibility and efficiency make it a popular choice among broadcasters and media producers looking to enhance their video processing capabilities while reducing operational costs.
