IBC2025: arkona and intoPIX double JPEG XS density with JXS16 app

IntoPIX and arkona technologies are set to announce a significant milestone in JPEG XS deployment with the launch of arkona’s JXS16 app for the BLADE//runner AT300 platform.

Leveraging intoPIX’s JPEG XS technology, the app delivers 16 UHD channels of JPEG XS encoding or decoding per AT300 card, doubling the density of the previous generation. Broadcasters can configure the app flexibly as 16x encode, 16x decode, or 8x encode + 8x decode, providing the highest UHD JPEG XS density available in the market.

Fully compliant with SMPTE ST 2110-22, the solution offers ultra-low latency, visually lossless quality, and efficient bandwidth usage, enabling reliable IP transport for live production workflows.

Arkona’s BLADE//runner platform, already widely deployed by major live broadcast service providers, continues to offer its uncompressed IP gateway capabilities, supporting ST 2110-20, 30/31 and 40 encapsulation/de-encapsulation, along with advanced routing, shuffling and synchronisation features as well as  enhanced video and audio switching and processing functionalities

This latest milestone reflects the strong and ongoing collaboration between arkona and intoPIX, focused on delivering scalable, efficient and future-ready IP broadcast infrastructures.

“At intoPIX, we are committed to empowering partners like arkona with cutting-edge JPEG XS technology that enables low-latency, high-density IP video transport, while minimising bandwidth, power usage and infrastructure requirements,” said Jean-Baptiste Lorent, marketing and sales director at intoPIX.

“Working with intoPIX, we’ve been able to significantly increase the density of our JPEG XS solutions, helping broadcasters transition to IP with greater efficiency and flexibility,” added Erling Hedkvist, sales & business development at arkona technologies.
