Fascinating "HD-Over-IP" Column By Tore Nordahl

[Jerry Jones]

Another fantastic column by Tore Nordahl.

He explains how high definition video transmission is going to change in a major way.

Satellite and microwave trucks were the old way.

They'll be giving way to what is called "realtime transmission protocol" (RTP), which allows for high definition video distribution over IP networks using the JPEG2000 codec.

Amazing stuff.

JPEG2000 is supposed to rock, but Microsoft and now Adobe appear to be trying to kill it off with the "new" HD Photo -- a renamed version of "Windows Media Photo" built into Vista.

I've been testing JP2K here and and it's very effective. It's also faster to encode than H.264 or VC1. Based on what I've seen a JP2K cam would rock if s/w & disc support followed.

Actually, I think "HD Photo" is only supposed to replace JPEG and not JPEG2000, which is an entirely different kind of format.

Doc, I'm always a bit confused by this...you all seem to treat JPEG2000 as video compression format often in this forum? So...as I understand there's some equivalent of MotionJPEG that uses JPEG2000? And anyway...why promote this instead of formats that use wavelet compression methods similar to JPEG2000 but that know they're compressing video, such as Dirac or Snow?
