Orion JPEG2000

Orion provides real-time JPEG2000 video compression and decompression capabilities for video distribution and recording applications.

Available in PMC and PCI formats, Orion brings high-performance video compression to a variety of system architectures including VME, cPCI, PCI and VPX. Air-cooled and conduction-cooled variants of the PMC variant make the Orion ideal for applications ranging from naval ship-wide video distribution systems through to rugged recording applications on fast-jet and helicopter platforms.

In input mode, Orion can accept up to ten analogue video inputs and select two for simultaneous compression, outputting a JPEG2000 compliant data stream onto the PCI bus.

In output mode, the card receives up to two JPEG2000 data streams across the PCI bus, decompressing to give two independent PAL or NTSC video output signals through the front panel, or the PMC P4 connector in the case of the rugged PMC version.

JPEG2000 offers excellent performance for real-time video sequences giving high-compression ratios with the added benefit of low latency and minimal resynchronise times.
