intoPIX New Ultra HD 4K Streaming System selected by the University of Essex and the PSNC (02/2010) The JPEG 2000 system enables an efficient real-time ingest, streaming over IP and playout of Ultra High Definition 4K content.

Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium -- intoPIX, the leader in JPEG 2000 solutions, announced today that the University of Essex and the Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center have selected the new JPEG 2000 4K Streaming system called SYX-JP4K and developed by intoPIX.

At the end of last year, during the official opening of the Essex Ultra High Definition facility, the new intoPIX 4K Streaming system was demonstrated. At that occasion, a complete encoding-streaming-decoding chain was achieved for 4K material between the Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center to the Essex facility, in real time. This connection was achieved via dedicated high speed links through national and European research network infrastructures.

intoPIX' future proof JPEG 2000 technology fits perfectly the ever-increasing demand of Ultra High Definition (UHD) and other emerging media formats that go beyond today's HD.

In the near future, Broadcasters will be able to shoot and transmit real-time in UHD resolutions. By using JPEG2000 compression, broadcast facilities will benefit from an efficient scalability, specially well-suited for handling high resolution material. It is an intrinsic feature of JPEG 2000 to be capable to extract HD from an UHD stream in real-time, without need of transcoding, cropping, downscaling or any other additional processing explained Gael Rouvroy, CTO of intoPIX.

intoPIX has already announced new versions of the SYX-JP4K system for 2010, capable of 8K encoding, streaming and decoding in real-time.
