JPEG2000 High Resolution Encoder/Decoder (HRED-J2000)

The HRED-J2000 encodes (and decodes) high resolution, high frame rate video into (and from) JPEG2000 video format.

This JPEG 2000 encoder / decoder is ideal in command and control scenarios where high resolution video must be moved between multiple video sources (typically PCs), storage devices (typically hard drives), and display surfaces (monitors and projectors). In effect, the HRED-J2000 is a JPEG 2000 hardware accelerator!

HRED-J2000 is a 4-lane PCIe board that contains a highly parallel JPEG2000 encoding/decoding engine capable of processing multiple video streams simultaneously. Optional DVI input and output daughter cards are available to support any combination of up to (2) Dual-link DVI-I (analog or digital) interfaces (input and/or output)

Accompanying software drivers allow an application writer to set up a source and a destination endpoint(s) for each of the video streams. A video stream may be a compression stream or a decompression stream.

Typical streams are identified in the table below:

Compression Streams	Source	Destination
	DVI input	PCIe (to hard drive or network)
	PCIe (from video card)	PCIe (to hard drive or network)
Decompression Streams	Source	Destination
	PCIe (from hard drive or network)	DVI output
	PCIe (from hard drive or network)	PCIe (to video card)

Performance: Up to (6) video streams can be processed simultaneously. Extremely high resolutions and frame rates require more processing resources, thus fewer streams can be supported. For example, the HRED-J2000 can handle (3) simultaneous streams of 2560x1600 at 30Hz frame rates.

Supported resolutions and frame rates include:

RGB analog and Digital Dual-link DVI:	Digital DVI only:
1920x1080, 60Hz*	2560x1600, 60Hz*
1600x1200, 60Hz	1920x1200, 60Hz*
1440x1050, 60Hz	1280x720, 60Hz
1280x1024, 60Hz
1024x768, 60Hz

*Updated at 30Hz max

Frame rates, resolution, compression ratios, etc are fully programmable from the driver level.

Typical Application

The HRED-J2000 gives excellent performance and flexibility to system architects who need JPEG2000 compression and decompression to move vast amounts of high resolution video at high frame rates. Because all images are in standard JPEG2000 format, auxiliary processing can be performed on compressed images.
