"Grass Valley Launches the Infinity Series: a New Line of IT-Based Acquisition, Recording, and Storage Devices"

"Declaring an end to dictated formats and closed solutions that cause workflow inefficiencies and frustrate broadcasters and videographers, Thomson today announced the Infinity™ Series, a new line of next-generation acquisition, recording and storage devices that give broadcasters and videographers the power of choice — in recording media, formats, compression codecs,
and connectivity."

...

"As an additional choice of compression, the next-generation JPEG2000 codec is also included. JPEG 2000 offers special advantages over other compression codes: it offers higher-quality compression with better efficiency, delivers superb images without blocking artifacts at low bit rates, and, with its unique scalability, allows broadcasters ultimate flexibility by enabling them to encode a master file and then decode different resolutions as necessary."

"JPEG20000 delivers 10-bit 4:2:2 resolution images, is frame accurate, and synchronizes better with digital audio than other approaches, making it ideal for SD or HD post-production editing or compositing work."
