The JPEG XS (ISO/IEC 21122) standard is a lightweight low latency image and video compression algorithm that maintains visually transparent compression.[1][2][3][4][5] It has applications for streaming high quality content for virtual reality, drones, autonomous vehicles using cameras, gaming, and broadcasting.[2] [6] [7] [8]

In 2016, the JPEG committee started a call for high-performance, low complexity image coding standard, and asked for contributions. The best performing candidates, namely codecs from the Belgian company intoPIX and Fraunhofer IIS then formed the basis for the standardization activities. First implementations were demonstrated in April 2018 at the NAB Show and later at the International Broadcasting Convention in September. [9]

An advantage of the format is that it uses less processing CPU than other formats and is highly parallel, thus well suited for multi-core or GPU implementations. The standard allows implementations to have an end-to-end latency not larger than 32 image lines, which was formulated as a requirement during its development.[10]

Fraunhofer IIS claims transparent compression at ratios of up to 10:1. The maximum supported resolution is 8K, and the maximum supported frame rate is 120 fps.[1]
