The CTR-1471 is a high performance eight channel video compressor supporting the enhanced features and quality provided by the JPEG2000 (J2K) - ISO/IEC15444-1 image compression standard. This embedded PC/104-Plus module implements the computationally intensive operations of the JPEG2000 image compression standard, as well as provides fully compliant code stream generation for most applications that support real-time video encoding. It is able to process images at a rate of 40M samples/sec in reversible mode, and at higher rates when used in irreversible mode. It contains a dedicated wavelet transform engine, three entropy codecs, an onboard memory system and an embedded RISC processor, which can provide a complete JPEG 2000 compression/decompression solution. Potential applications: Networked video and image distribution systems, Wireless video and image distribution, Image archival/retrieval, Digital CCTV and surveillance systems, Digital Cinema Systems, Professional Video editing and recording, Digital Still Cameras, Digital Camcorders.
