TICO-XS IP cores
TICO-XS is a smart upgrade path to manage higher resolutions (4K, 8K, …) and frame rates while assuring visual quality, keeping power and bandwidth at a reasonable budget and significantly reducing the complexity and cost of a system, a chip or an infrastructure.
Applications:
From 3G-SDI to IP in 4K
The mapping of the TICO-XS mezzanine compression to carry UHDTV 4K 60P over a single 3G-SDI cable has been specified in the SMPTE RDD35. intoPIX provides the needed building blocks to create a 4K over 3G-SDI solutions. Have a look at the intoPIX TICO-XS IP-cores and peripheral IP to map the compression over SDI.
4K with TICO compression over SMPTE2022-6
As SMPTE ST2022-6, defines the transport of HD-SDI or 3G-SDI over IP, using TICO-XS, it is easy to leverage an existing SMPTE 2022-6 system to carry up to three UHDTV 4K 60P streams over a single 10 GbE port using the SMPTE 2022-6 standard.
SMPTE 2110 and TICO compression
SMPTE ST2110-22 specifies the transport of compressed video over IP (including JPEG-XS), enabling you to transport any video formats over IP with full flexibility and all the benefits of TICO-XS compression.
8K over a single 10GbE
It has already been proven. TICO-XS can enable you to carry with lossless quality a 8K 60fps video stream over a single 10GbE link using TICO RTP payload and a SMPTE 2110-22 transport.
8K over a single 12G-SDI
It has already been proven. TICO-XS can enable you to carry a 8K 60fps video stream over a single 12G-SDI link with lossless quality.
