Creating Bandwidth-Efficient Workflows with JPEG XS and ST 2110

Internet Protocol workflows have arrived and is here to stay. Next to reduced complexity and increased agility, one of the greatest advantages of moving to IP is cost reduction - the simple usage of COTS IP switches and cables. However, with new imaging technologies like 4K, high frame rates, and HDR, we have more pixels to manage, store and transport. SMPTE ST 2110 supports both uncompressed and compressed video. With uncompressed video essences, this requires 10GbE workflows for HD, 25GbE for 4K, and even more for future 8K workflows. Currently many are struggling just to upgrade infrastructures from 1080i or 720p to 1080p60 at 3Gbps; handling 4K video at 60fps, 4:2:2, and 10bit is much more challenging. And with 8K on the verge, a future-proof solution must be found. What if a technology could help? Help to easily manage more pixels over a limited bandwidth. Help to safeguard latency? All with pixel perfect quality? This whitepaper explains how and why the new ISO JPEG XS in combination with part 22 of SMPTE ST2110 for compressed video streams addresses and solves exactly these points.
