AGILITY PRODUCTS JPEG 2000 Overview Network Encoders Enterprise NVR Software Custom Products How to Buy JPEG 2000 Video Codec The JPEG 2000 standard was developed as a successor to the aging JPEG standard. The new compression method provides a number of improvements and features that make it stand apart from most other video and image compression standards, and show it to be superior for security, surveillance, and mobile applications. Robust: Can withstand significant damage to the codestream, and still decompress properly. Low latency: Usually one or two frame time latency from source to end point display, with no loss in compression efficiency. Multi-resolutional compression: A single compressed data stream can provide video to devices at different bandwidths simultaneously, without adding to processing requirements at all. Efficient: Uses less power, memory and processing resources to compress a stream than other current methods. High Performance: When compressing images to the same quality, uses 1/2 to 1/5 the data size when compared to original JPEG, MPEG-2. At multi-megapixel resolutions, it has unmatched efficiency. These characteristics make JPEG 2000 very effective in situations such as: Mobile video transmission - The robust codestream allows consistent video over inconsistent data links, high performance requires a smaller video bandwidth, and low power requirement makes it excellent for battery limited systems. High performance live surveillance - The low latency means live streams are being presented in real time with no loss of efficiency, high performance means multi-megapixel network cameras can be used for surveillance, without using too much power. Scalable video recording - The reliability of having static frames for stringent evidentiary rules, coupled with multiresolutional content, provides aging capabilities to a recorded video database enabling staged video storage for years rather than days, without sacrificing live video image quality or latency. ...And many more.
