TICO compression is an easy path to support higher data stream as UHD4K, 8K or HFR using existing systems and infrastructures. The benefits of being a lightweight compression means that TICO is able to run on low cost FPGA and CPU at very high performance and can be added in any production ecosystem bringing a high level of interoperability. The codec is currently being deployed in live production applications, delivering high-quality feeds with only few pixel lines of latency. TICO magic 4:1 compression ratio sets new ways to support UHD/4K within 10GbE IP networks and 3G-SDI infrastructures.
“TICO CPU-powered also provides a new level of performance in terms of latency, speed, and flexibility,” says Charles Buysschaert, Senior Software Engineer, intoPIX. “Whereas legacy codecs are highly paralysing frames to reach real-time, TICO has the ability to distribute pixel lines across the entire CPU.”
