The JPEG-D-X core from Alma Technologies is a standalone and high-performance JPEG decoder for still image and video compression applications.
Compliance¹ with the Baseline and the Extended Sequential DCT modes of the ISO/IEC 10918-1 JPEG standard makes this core suitable for interoperable systems and devices.
The JPEG-E-X is available for ASIC or AMD-Xilinx, Efinix, Intel, Lattice and Microchip FPGA and SoC based designs.
In addition to decoding standard compliant Baseline and Extended JPEG streams, the core is also capable of decompressing
the video payload of many (de facto) standard motion JPEG container formats.
The core is designed with simple, fully controllable and FIFO like, streaming input and output interfaces.
Being carefully designed and rigorously verified, the JPEG-D-X is a reliable and easy-to-use and integrate IP.
