Download Center TICO compression The new lightweight and disruptive video compression technology, Extremely tiny in ASIC & FPGA , Fast & Powerful in CPU TICO compression is a disruptive visually lossless light-weight compression specifically designed for the industry. This revolutionary technology is extremely tiny in hardware (FPGA, ASIC) , fast and powerful in software (CPU), robust for real-time operation with no latency. Up to now, image and video are sent or stored uncompressed into many displays and systems such as cameras videos servers or recorders. TICO 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 reducing significantly the complexity and cost of the system. TICO compression key features Visually Lossless up to 4:1. Persistent and Robust: Indistinguishable image loss over multiple generations Latency: Few Microseconds – very few line of pixels ( selectable from 1 to x) Small complexity and ultra-compact codec: easy to implement in low-cost FPGA or ASIC. It uses little internal memory and no external memory. Powerful , Real-time or faster than real-time in CPU Compatible with different resolutions, from mobile to 4K/8K UHDTV, via multiple usual transport schemes. Designed to be a standard for the industry-wide support: TICO compression technology is available on multiple software and hardware technologies. Code, hardware IP-cores and software libraries are licensable from intoPIX. TICO light-weight compression is a smart solution to : Support higher Data stream (HD, 4K, 8K …) in existing systems or networks using the available pipeline bandwidth. Increase the number of streams or the stream resolution that could be supported in a multi-stream configuration Reduce significantly the internal video bandwidth (and power consumption) in systems such as mobile devices, cameras, video servers and displays. Increase with cost-effectiveness the storage or video buffer or frame buffer capacity. Solve display link limitation on TV, monitor and mobile panel to carry larger resolutions than could be support by a display link with uncompressed images and video in real time. Reduce the number of lanes in a display interface needed to transport a display stream in order to save power, cost, or both. Or even enable the use of a lower link rate for applications where high link rates may not be possible Typical applications from HD to 4K/8K Ultra HD: Digital Video Recorders Video Servers, mixers , routers and switchers Cameras (high-res, real-time or high speed) Video monitor and displays Frame grabbers and video capture devices Industrial and surveillance Cable extenders (…) Implementation Altera FPGA IP-cores Xilinx FPGA IP-cores ASIC IP-cores Software Codec SDK Evaluation Contact intoPIX to access to the TICO evaluation software version Join the TICO Alliance and move to UHD4K over 3G-SDI & 10G IP networks www.tico-alliance.org The growing consortium is a coalition of companies united to set the bar for next generation UHD/4K infrastructure by establishing TICO compression in the new IP-based Live ecosystem. The group will enable the industry to seamless update the existing SDI-based workflows to UHD/4K without the cost of a complete renewal.
