Designed for High-End HD Recording in
Many Different Industries, Board-Level Solution is First to
Harness J2K Compression
Fast Forward Video (FFV) today announced the launch of the
Q HD™ — the first board-level high-definition digital
video recorder (DVR) based on the JPEG 2000 (J2K) compression
codec for recording HD SDI video signals. The Q HD is designed
to be embedded in HD video recording applications that demand
the absolute highest image quality, such as high-end surveillance,
law enforcement, military, and medical systems.
The Q HD provides the board-level DVR technology used in FFV's
cutting-edge Elite HD™ and Omega HD™ DVR systems,
with J2K compression ensuring virtually no loss in signal
quality at 1080i, 720p, and 480i. The Q HD records at data
rates of 100Mbits/s, offering 4:2:2 sampling and a full 10-bit
quantization. High-definition recordings are full resolution
— 1920 x 1080 (1080i) or 1280 x 720 (720p). The Q HD
also provides HD-SDI I/O capabilities and features RS-422
control using Sony, Odetics, and FFV serial protocols.
With its broadcast-level image quality, the Q HD is currently
being embedded in a diverse array of HD recording applications.
One leading provider of broadcast remote control solutions
has licensed the Q HD for use in a high-end video camera and
recording system to be mounted on law enforcement helicopters.
Another FFV OEM is developing next-generation photo finish
video recording equipment for horse racing based on the Q
HD.
"Now that HD technology has become accepted and widespread
for broadcasting, it's rapidly being adopted for many other
applications that rely on high-quality video output,"
said Mark Playdon, FFV's director of sales. "This increased
demand for applications outside the pure broadcasting production
realm represents a large opportunity for us, and we've responded
by delivering to the market the first board-level HD recording
solution to feature J2K compression."
