JPEG2000
Codec Package
The JPEG2000 standard provides a set of features that are of importance to many high-end and emerging applications in the digital imaging market, everything from digital cameras, pre-press, remote sensing, medical imaging, e-commerce and other key sectors by taking advantage of new technologies.
It addresses areas where current standards fail to produce the best quality or performance and provides capabilities to markets that currently do not use compression. Due to its advanced features, JPEG2000 is interesting especially for the professional market, where superior image quality and editing features are of highest importance.
DCI (Digital Cinema Initiative) adopted JPEG2000 for video encoding of motion pictures (http://www.dcimovies.com/). Current movie distribution and presentation from movie rolls is expected to be replaced by digital projectors that will play high-res mj2 streams with superior image and sound quality.
For Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, the codec package consists of a Low Level API (in the C programming language). Under Windows, it additionally includes DirectShow filters for decoding and encoding. The decoder filter can be used by any DirectShow® application (e.g. Windows® Media Player).
The Codec Package is available as 32-bit as well as 64-bit version for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
With MainConcept Reference, the professional transcoder application by MainConcept, JPEG2000 is also available for seamless codec conversion from and to various formats. Click here for details.
