10、 Codec. TICO answers the need for a low latency and light weight visually lossless mezzanine compression to manage and carry UHDTV format across 3G-SDI and IP networks in production workflows. TICO can compress image data up to 10240 H x 10240 W x 12 bit per components. This SMPTE RDD describes the
11、TICO bitstream, the decoding process, the provisions for mapping bitstreams onto a single 3G-SDI link and the provisions for mapping bitstreams onto an IP network. Figure 1 TICO SMPTE RDD 35 scope This SMPTE RDD contains sufficient information for knowledgeable individuals to build an implementation
12、. An important feature of this mapping process is that it can be implemented in a practical form using currently available firmware and hardware. In the course of time, it could be implemented within new chip designs to ensure the minimum impact on hardware power requirements and physical size. Note

33、ontally. 3.2 TICO Characteristics Overview 3.2.1 Lightweight, High Quality and Low Latency in Software and Hardware TICO algorithm offers simultaneously low complexity (in hardware and software), low latency and visually lossless quality at low compression ratio (typically 4:1). Image quality : The
34、compression scheme provides visually lossless compression and is robust to multiple encoding generations. The compression can be mathematically lossless at low compression rate due to the use of the 5/3 wavelet for lossless (reversible) transform. The rate control mechanisms are guaranteeing an opti
35、mal quality within each precinct using contrast sensitivity function (CSF) for an optimal visual weighting and optimal transfer between precincts. TICO outputs at a constant bitrate (CBR) for an optimal quality. Low latency: Due to its line-based wavelet transforms and entropy coding, a hardware imp
36、lementation can achieve a latency of few lines of pixels for the encoding or decoding process. The latency is also fixed. With parallel processing, a software (CPU) implementation can achieve a single frame of latency for the encoding or decoding process. Lightweight and low power in hardware: TICO
