The Evatronix JPEG2000-4K is a fully compatible implementation of an ultra-high performance image encoder based on the ISO/IEC 15444-1 compression standard targeted for both FPGA and ASIC applications.
The encoder enables encoding of any custom frame size up to 16K. It supports real-time processing of digital cinema resolutions such as 2048x1080 (2K), 3840 x 2160, 4096 x 2160 (4K). Moreover, the IP core is capable of real-time encoding of 3D image-video material. Number of simultaneously processed channels (views) depends on the resolution.
The Evatronix JPEG2000-4K is flexible with respect to input image format, including different color spaces (RGB, YCbCr) with up to 16-bits per sample and various component sub-sampling schemes (4:4:4, 4:2:2, 4:2:0, grayscale).
Three very efficient 2D-DWT engines and six EBCOT TIER-1 channels operating in the ultra-high performance, but still single-core JPEG2000-4K architecture, provide enormous compression speed up to 600 MSamples/s. Higher performance can be obtained by multiple cores integration. Maximum frame rates achievable in a single core are: 1080p100, 3D 1080p50, 2Kp96, 3D 2Kp48, 4Kp24.
