intoPIX and Comprimato announce their collaboration

Offering advanced Comprimato GPU-based JPEG2000 solutions within intoPIX SDK toolkit.

Belgium, Mont-Saint-Guibert and Czech Republic, Brno -- November 14, 2013 -- intoPIX , leading provider of FPGA-based JPEG2000 solutions and Comprimato, leading provider of GPU-based JPEG2000 solutions inked an agreement to join forces in marketing of advanced JPEG2000 solutions based on the J2K GPU solution developed by Comprimato.

intoPIX will further package the Comprimato GPU IP-cores, and enrich the solution with its vast experience with JPEG2000 IP-core integrations.

“intoPIX is positioned at the leading edge of JPEG2000 compression technology development within the markets it serves. intoPIX’s JPEG2000 product range is developed with a constant attention to provide key improvements to the production workflows of the different applications and industries we support. Many of our customers today already combine FPGA and software based solutions in their full encoding/decoding environment. Adding the complementary GPU-based JPEG2000 technology to our product portfolio will vastly improve the integration time of our customer’s products; and empower them with a powerful and real-time JPEG2000 compression solution both in hardware and software. This collaboration enables both partners to pool and strengthen their unique expertise to create advanced solutions for the UHD TV market”, said Katty Van Mele, Director of intoPIX Business Development.

“Comprimato has created a unique JPEG2000 software solution based on existing NVIDIA graphics processing units that delivers up to 10x faster JPEG2000 compression and decompression compared to existing software solutions,” said Michal Krsek, co-founder and Director of Business Development at Comprimato. “Partnering with intoPIX allows customers to speed up their implementations for UHD TV using API they are familiar with and allows them to use GPU or FPGA solution from one source.”
