Network Electronics / VPG to Highlight Advanced Compression via its New JPEG 2000 Encoder / Decoder at HD World 2008

Oxnard, CA, October 8, 2008 – Network Electronics / VPG, the industry leader in optical transport, video over IP, video over SONET/SDH, routing and signal processing solutions for reliable video transport has announced plans to demonstrate its recently launched JPEG 2000 encoder and decoder in Booth 944 at HD World. The JPEG 2000 VS901-TE-27 encoder and VS901-TD-27 decoder are modules in the company’s Ventura™ range of advanced products, which was developed to facilitate the compression, transmission and economical transport of HD signals for the telco and broadcast markets. HD World will take place October 15th and 16th 2008 at the Javits Convention Center in New York.


The new VS901-TE-27 encoder and VS901-TD-27 decoder offer high-quality JPEG 2000 compression of HD-SDI signals, qualifying them for transport over widely deployed 270Mbps networks. These modules also allow HD to be stored on SDI servers and tape decks and to map HD into SONET / SDH and IP networks using Network Electronics / VPG’s VS811 cards.


Key Features
• Artifact-free compression – no blocking, tiling or motion dependence
• Visually lossless compression—image quality indistinguishable from original after multiple compression cycles.
• Multiplexes audio into the transport stream, either pre-embedded into the HD-SDI signal or by locally embedding from AES interfaces on the encoder
• Separate carriage of VBI information
