Fraunhofer IIS, working with easyDCP GmbH, has introduced the joinXS production suite.
According to the organisations, it extends the use of the JPEG XS video codec beyond live production to post production, quality control and archiving, enabling end-to-end workflows with ultra-low latency, high image quality and reduced resource requirements without transcoding.
As the distribution partner, easyDCP GmbH will market and provide the suite.
“With joinXS, we are systematically extending the benefits of JPEG XS to post production and archiving,” said Stephanie Hofmann, head of the media production tools group at Fraunhofer IIS. “Professional users can process high-resolution content from capture through long-term storage in a continuous, real-time-capable workflow using one codec.”
The suite includes a software recorder designed for Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) streams in accordance with IETF RFC 9134. Full integration of the open Networked Media Open Specifications (NMOS) IS-04/05 interface standards ensures seamless device discovery and connection management, said the company.
The video streams are stored as SMPTE ST 2124 MXF files together with the corresponding XML metadata. Developed for ST 2110 and IPMX environments, the JPEG XS Recorder provides reliable processing from live IP production to post production and archiving, added Fraunhofer IIS.
The JPEG XS Player enables recorded content to be reviewed directly from MXF files containing JPEG XS-compressed video streams, without transcoding or format conversion.
Additional tools are currently under development and will expand the joinXS production suite in the coming months, said the company.
