Gidel’s real-time JPEG encoder delivers high-performance JPEG compression directly on FPGA. This JPEG encoder features fast processing, ultra-low latency, and compact silicon utilization—ideal for both small FPGAs handling high-performance camera streams or multiple parallel instances on larger devices. The IP includes a host interface and API suite for easy software integration.
The encoder supports YCbCr input with optional conversion from RGB or Monochrome formats. Compression ratio is adjustable, enabling the right balance between storage and image quality. Operates at 8 bits/component, with higher bit-depth options available on request. Example performance: 4:2:2 encoding at 540 MPixels/s and up to 1.84 GPixels/s, with latency as low as 130 μs.
Additional Compression IPs – Lossless & Quality+
Beyond JPEG, Gidel offers FPGA-based Lossless Compression IP for preserving full image data with zero quality degradation and Quality+ Compression IP, which enhances signal-to-noise ratio while reducing bandwidth and storage needs. Both IPs integrate seamlessly with Gidel’s FPGA solutions for Imaging & Vision, providing real-time performance and minimizing host CPU load.
