SAMMA Systems,
the global leader in media migration, has extended its range
of lossless compression products with the introduction of
its new MJPEG2K Player™. The player / decoder, developed
to provide an extremely cost-effective method for monitoring
and editing Motion JPEG2000 files, is making its official
debut at SMPTE 2007, Booth 604 in the New York Marriott at
the Brooklyn Bridge from October 24 through October 26.
The MJPEG2K Player card operates in conjunction
with SAMMA Systems’ recently launched, award-winning
SAMMA Solo – the world’s first real-time analog
to digital lossless migration system. SAMMA Solo encodes mathematically
lossless MJPEG2000 files in real-time in addition to other
standard formats such as MPEG 2, H.264, Windows Media and
Real Media. The MJPEG2K Player, the first low cost decoder
for PCs, provides an extremely cost effective method for playing
back the MJPEG2000 files for monitoring or loading into an
editing platform. It provides SDI output for exceptional viewing
quality with embedded 4-channel audio that is bit-for-bit
identical to MJ2 output.
“SAMMA Systems has revolutionized media
preservation with products for migration of videotapes into
the digital server environment. We are now delighted to bring
the MJPEG2K Player to market to allow MJPEG2000 files to be
viewed on PCs anywhere,” affirmed Mark Gray, president
of SAMMA Systems.
“The innovative, mathematically lossless MJPEG2000 standard
is ideal for archiving because it doesn’t introduce artifacts
when brought out of compression and allows customers to preserve
and future-proof their analog assets in the best way possible.
The Player gives broadcasters efficient and easy access to
their converted assets so they can be can be monetized by
taking advantage of the myriad of new content delivery technologies.”
The SAMMA MJPEG2K functions as a decoder-only
with SAMMA software for use in stand-alone viewing stations.
It requires a user-supplied PC and monitor.
