Panasonic Connect has integrated IntoPIX’s JPEG XS technology in its PTZ and studio cameras. Both Panasonic’s AW-UE160W/K PTZ camera and AK-PLV100GSJ 4K studio camera will support JPEG XS. The cameras include intoPIX TicoXS IP cores, which allows them to interface directly with live production workflows supporting SMPTE ST 2110 and IPMX standards.
   

Using JPEG XS safeguards all advantages of an uncompressed stream such as ultra-low latency and high quality and offers a significant bandwidth reduction with real-time FPGA, CPU or GPU-based encoding in HD and 4K, said Panasonic. It can be used in any LAN, WAN or cloud-based IP-based application.

“We are supporting the media industry to deliver premium live IP workflows with more efficiency,” said Katty Van Mele, business development director at intoPIX. “Panasonic Connect and intoPIX have developed a long-standing relationship over the past years. We are happy to move forward with JPEG XS together and to contribute to the excellence of their products.”

“We are excited to partner with intoPIX experts to deliver a premium IP workflow to our customers. Outstanding image quality and near-zero latency are the absolute foundation of our solutions, and this was only possible with intoPIX JPEG XS,” added Masatoshi Taniguchi, director of the ProAV business at Panasonic Connect.
