Introducing new profiles for broadcast applications in the JPEG 2000 International Recommendation | Standard
Abstract
The ITU recently added new profiles to the JPEG 2000 standard for broadcast video contribution and distribution within the production flow published ITU-T Rec. T.800 (08/2002)/Amd.4 (2010E), an amendment to JPEG 2000 core coding system. This amendment represents a major step toward a transport system for studio contribution allowing equipment from different manufacturers to interoperate. The process relies on both existing standards and new amendments from three international standard organizations JPEG, MPEG and SMPTE developed in cooperation with studios, broadcasters and equipment vendors. The new amendment specifies a selection of encoding parameters and newly defines rate limits over seven operating levels for video encoded with JPEG 2000. The operating levels create a basis for compliance test points to ensure equipment interoperability. The paper also reviews a proposed transport mechanism for the codestream over SDI and IP.
