intoPIX JPEG XS Powers Village Island's VICO-2L-XS for Cost-effective SDI/IP Conversion

Mont-Saint-Guilbert, Belgium, November 7, 2024 – intoPIX announces the integration of its JPEG XS technology into Village Island’s VICO-2L-XS. This new model offers a lower budget alternative to the VICO-4L-XS, targeting broadcasters and smaller operations needing only HD support across fewer channels while maintaining full ST-2110 compliance, including ST-2059, ST-2022-7, and NMOS.

The VICO-2L-XS addresses the demand for budget-friendly ST-2110-22 SDI/IP conversion, supporting use cases with a limited number of channels. Tested rigorously by leading broadcasters, including Japanese TV stations, it guarantees top-tier performance while remaining a flexible and affordable option for professional use.

• Energy efficiency: Lowers power consumption, cutting operational costs and promoting sustainability.
• Cost-effective scalability: Starts with a single channel and scales up without significant upfront investment.
• Simplified infrastructure: Easy to integrate and manage in various broadcast environments.

“We designed the VICO-2L-XS to meet the growing demand for reliable, high-performance solutions at a competitive price point for lower channel density,” said Michael Van Dorpe, CEO of Village Island. “The integration of JPEG XS technology allows us to provide real-time video delivery with reduced latency and bandwidth while enhancing energy efficiency for a more sustainable operation.

“The integration of intoPIX JPEG XS core into the VICO-2L-XS showcases the flexibility and efficiency of our technology,” said Jean-Baptiste Lorent, Director, Media Entertainment & ProAV Solutions at intoPIX. “This collaboration enables Village Island to deliver top-quality lightweight compression, reducing operational costs and simplifying infrastructure.”
