Gidel’s real-time JPEG image compression (encoder) IP enables high-performance JPEG compression on FPGA. The compression IP is unique in its fast processing capacity, low latency, and compact silicon utilization. As a result of its compactness, the IP can be implemented on a small FPGA device to compress high-performance camera image streams or, alternatively, instantiated multiple times on a single larger FPGA device. The JPEG IP can be embedded seamlessly in Gidel's image acquisition systems, including the Gidel frame grabbers and compact edge computers. The compression supports high-end camera streaming, including 10+ GigE Vision, CoaXPress and Camera Link. Gidel's real-time compression IPs are particularly beneficial for high-bandwidth and high-resolution imaging application enabling increased recording time, reduces storage size, and reduced post recording data offload and compression time on host computer.
