TICO compression is visually lossless light compression specifically designed for the industry. It is is extremely tiny in hardware (FPGA, ASIC) , fast and powerful in software (CPU), robust for real-time operation with no latency.

Up to now, image and video are sent or stored uncompressed into many displays and systems such as cameras videos servers or recorders. TICO is a smart upgrade path to manage higher resolutions (4K, 8K…) and frame rates while assuring visual quality, keeping power and bandwidth at a reasonable budget and reducing significantly the complexity and cost of the system.

TICO compression key features

• Visually Lossless quality between 2:1 and 4:1.
• Persistent and Robust: Indistinguishable image loss over multiple generations
• Latency: Few Microseconds – very few line of pixels ( selectable from 1 to x)
• Small complexity and ultra-compact codec: easy to implement in low-cost FPGA or ASIC. It uses little internal memory and no external memory.
• Powerful , Real-time or faster than real-time in CPU
• Compatible with different resolutions, from mobile to 4K/8K UHDTV, via multiple usual transport schemes.
• Designed to be a standard for the industry-wide support: TICO compression technology is available on multiple software and hardware technologies.
• Code, hardware IP-cores and software libraries are licensable from intoPIX.
