Neuron Compress

Compress centers around JPEG XS decoding and encoding. The JPEG XS (ISO/IEC 21122) standard is a lightweight low latency image and video compression algorithm (codec) that maintains visually lossless compression. The typical compression ratio is between 1:6 and 1:12, so a UHD signal which uses 12Gb/s normally, would require 1Gb/s after JPEG XS compression and is still visually lossless. There are 2 configurations available with various numbers of HD or UHD JPEG XS encoders and decoders.

Besides JPEG XS compression, the Compress configurations use the 100Gb/s QSFP28 interfaces for all baseband streams (uncompressed ST2110-20 and ST2022 streams) and the 10Gb/s SFP+ interfaces for all compressed I/O (ST2110-22 streams), meaning what’s going in the card is physically separated from what goes out of the card, turning it into a perfect Firewall for IP infrastructures.

The HD version of Compress has 16 FHD processing paths, up to 12 JPEG-XS encoders and 12 decoders. Per rack unit (so with 2 of these cards) you can process 32 FHD channels, with up to 24 encoders and 24 decoders.

The UHD version has 6 UHD processing paths ( = 24 FHD paths) with up to 6 UHD JPEG-XS encoders and 6 UHD decoders. Per rack unit, with two of these cards, you can process up to 12 UHD channels with 12 UHD encoders and 12 UHD decoders.
