Imagine Communications has unveiled an updated version of its Selenio™ Network Processor (SNP) that now supports intoPIX’s TicoXS FPGA IP cores. This integration aims to provide high-quality, low-latency connectivity for remote production and ground-to-cloud links.
Enhanced Connectivity with JPEG XS
The new release of the Selenio Network Processor incorporates intoPIX's JPEG XS technology, which boosts bandwidth efficiency across IP networks. This enhancement ensures superior video quality while minimizing latency, making it ideal for remote production and cloud-based workflows.
Industry Standards Compliance
Imagine Communications played a significant role in the development of VSF TR-07 & TR-08 recommendations for JPEG XS use in SMPTE ST 2110 workflows. The company also contributed to the creation of the SMPTE 2110 standard itself.
Flexible and Versatile Solution
The SNP platform supports both traditional and cloud-based workflows, enabling customers to process, convert, manage, and encode/decode content in SDI or ST 2110 formats. The addition of JPEG XS technology allows for ultra-low-latency connections between sites or ground and cloud resources.
Expert Insights
Katty Van Mele, Director of Business Development at intoPIX, highlighted the versatility of the technology: “Imagine’s Selenio Network Processor enhanced with intoPIX TicoXS compression offers IP-to-IP, SDI-to-IP, ground-to-cloud, and multiviewer capabilities within a single ecosystem, all simultaneously and with zero latency.”
John Mailhot, CTO and Director of Infrastructure Product Management at Imagine Communications, added: “The SNP Platform is all about flexibility—enabling customers to adapt their systems as workflows evolve from SDI to on-prem IP, eventually linking sites or the cloud. intoPIX’s JPEG XS technology ensures excellent picture quality and high interoperability, validated through our lead customer engagements over the past year.”
Available at NAB 2023
NAB Show attendees can experience this innovation firsthand by visiting Imagine Communications’ booth in West Hall (W2775) or intoPIX’s booth (C6335). The integration of JPEG XS technology is set to simplify high-quality, zero-latency connectivity for various production workflows.
