Mont-Saint-Guilbert, Belgium, November 7, 2024 – intoPIX announces the integration of its JPEG XS technology into Village Island’s VICO-2L-XS. This new model offers a lower budget alternative to the VICO-4L-XS, targeting broadcasters and smaller operations needing only HD support across fewer channels while maintaining full ST-2110 compliance, including ST-2059, ST-2022-7, and NMOS.

The VICO-2L-XS addresses the demand for budget-friendly ST-2110-22 SDI/IP conversion, supporting use cases with a limited number of channels. Tested rigorously by leading broadcasters, including Japanese TV stations, it guarantees top-tier performance while remaining a flexible and affordable option for professional use.
