JPEG XS is the new ISO/IEC codec for all IP workflows in studio environments, live productions, local video networks, and VR/AR applications. JPEG XS enables the transfer of high-resolution video data over standard Ethernet or other wired connections. The codec is designed to operate with low latency and limited computing resources. Fraunhofer IIS provides a JPEG XS SDK with an 'Application Support Package' that enables users to easily implement JPEG XS in typical workflows such as camera-to-stream and stream-to-display using sample codes for encoding and decoding.

JPEG XS offers compression ratios ranging from 6:1 to 16:1 (typically 10:1), predictive and precise rate control, and RTP streaming support.
