VID375 JPEG 2000 Compression

Description

The VID375 features a JPEG2000 hardware compression solution. It is based on the ADV212 codec devices suitable for on-the-fly compression prior or after the imaging processing implemented on the Cyclone III FPGA device. The VID375 has two low-cost Altera Cyclone III FPGA devices and some fast on-board DRAM memory resources. It is the most efficient hardware compression solution available with embedded processing power. The flexibility of the architecture and the use of the Camera-Link standard makes this solution universal for digital imaging systems.
