Of particular interest to broadcasters considering the Infinity camera is the JPEG 2000 format, which is a high-efficiency codec providing excellent color depth and fidelity. This format is ideal for acquisition and archiving, and the Infinity is the first production camera supporting this format. Carbon Coder allows rapid transcoding of JPEG 2000 content into formats commonly used in editing and playout systems.

"The family of developers supporting the Infinity camcorder continues to grow," said Marc Valentin, president of the Grass Valley business unit in Thomson. "Rhozet serves a critical need by providing universal transcoding for managing the complete media workflow."
