The demand for high-resolution imaging beyond 4K continues to grow across medical diagnostic equipment,broadcasting systems, and surveillance cameras.This trend creates challenges in maintaining high image quality while improving data transfer speeds and reducing storage costs.TMC’s JPEG XS IP cores address these challenges through:– FPGA-optimized dedicated designs– Ultra-low latency real-time processing– Versatile implementation options for diverse applications– Two specialized versions: Standard and Performance-orientedTMC’s JPEG XS IP maximizes the advantages of FPGAs and helps customers improve the competitiveness of their products.

In the field of video, the amount of data to be processed is exploding with higher resolutions and frame rates. In particular, with the spread of 5G transmission lines, there is a growing need for low latency in remote control, automated driving, virtual reality, and other applications.To meet these diverse needs, TMC has developed JPEG XS, a visually lossless and low latency mezzanine compression algorithm. JPEG XS is ideal not only for transmission of video content, but also for compression and transmission of high-resolution images in remote sensing. It enables fast and efficient transmission of large-volume satellite and drone images without any loss of image quality. The low latency of JPEG XS is also essential for real-time monitoring and analysis.TMC’s JPEG XS IP can be used in a wide variety of fields, including video production, broadcasting, and telemedicine.

“LucidEye” improves the visibility of unclear images such as those deteriorated due to weather conditions (snow, haze, or fog), and dark images due to backlight or insufficient illumination.This Hardware IP is suitable for security, surveillance applications, etc., as well as for improving image recognition rate by AI.

H.265/HEVC is the ISO/IEC standard for video compression and decompression. H.265/HEVC which has double compression performance of the H.264/AVC video compression standard, is expected to be used for high-definition video distribution such as 4K (3840 x 2160) and 8K (7680 x 4320), as well as video distribution services for mobile devices on the limited bandwidth.We have developed and commercialized a software H.265/HEVC encoder.

H.265/HEVC is the video compression/decompression standard standardized by ISO/IEC and that is said to have double ​compression performance of H.264/AVC.This is expected to be used for high-definition video distribution such as 4K (3840 x 2160) or 8K (7680 x 4320) and video distribution services for mobile devices on the limited bandwidth.On the other hand, the bottleneck is that it requires more processing resources compared to H.264/AVC.TMS has developed and commercialized a compact and light software-based decoder by keeping the high image quality of H.265/HEVC.

A rapid increasing of the image resolution and the amount of data handled by a processor engine cause issues in not only high-class digital cameras but also mobile terminals .Image data are generally compressed to reduce the amount of data, but there is a need for technology that suppresses the deterioration of image quality and processes at high speed.TMC has developed the high-resolution lossless / near lossless compression technology which have been used for many years for sensor images of digital cameras, and has commercialized a very compact and high-speed compression IP.

TMC’s original compression algorithm enables to compress and decompress the images to ​fixed-length with completely independent small block units. By using this technology, the memory capacity, data transmission bandwidth, and power consumption required for image data processing can be significantly reduced.

As the performance of communication infrastructure improves, the need for low-latency, high-quality video transmission is increasing.Video compression using a codec is common for video transmission, but the bottlenecks are image quality deterioration, codec delay, and system delay due to transmission occurring during the compression process.

TMC’s frame rate converter uses an original frame interpolation technology and creates highly accurate interpolation frames with compact circuit resources. Smooth motion videos are achieved by inserting this interpolated frame between the original frames.
