Latin America. MainConcept has reached a partnership with cloud playback solution provider, Veset, to integrate its JPEG XS SDK into Veset's cloud playback solution Nimbus.
This integration will allow broadcasters to leverage JPEG XS technology to deliver high-quality live TV with minimal latency for an enhanced viewing experience.
JPEG XS, the video compression standard first released in 2019, is designed to provide lossless visual quality and ultra-low latency with very low compression ratios. Coupled with its support for high bitrates (200 Mbps+), this makes it ideal for professional media workflows where speed and visual quality are critical, such as live production, broadcast studios, and video networks.
For Veset, the JPEG XS SDK makes live video streaming fast and smooth. It efficiently manages both input and output over modern IP networks and supports SMPTE 2110 and VSF TR-07 for reliable content delivery. Thanks to this partnership, Nimbus users will also be able to benefit from MainConcept's encoders for H.264/AVC and H.265/HEVC.
Thomas Kramer, Vice President of Product Management at MainConcept, commented, "There is a growing demand for advanced compression technologies that enable efficient delivery of high-resolution, low-latency video in professional media workflows, and JPEG XS is the perfect codec to meet those needs. By partnering with Veset and adapting our JPEG XS SDK for their Nimbus platform, we are helping to accelerate that demand."
Martins Magone, Chief Technology Officer at Veset, added: "JPEG XS is increasingly being used in live production, particularly for sports and news broadcasting where quality and speed are non-negotiable. We wanted to ensure that Veset Nimbus users can take full advantage of the many benefits that JPEG XS offers, so naturally we're thrilled to partner with MainConcept to do just that."
In addition, JPEG XS hardware and software processing has recently been added to MainConcept's Easy Video API (EVA) as part of version 15.3 of the MainConcept Codec SDK, enabling EVA users to achieve optimal visual quality with unmatched performance.
