Mont Saint Guibert, Belgium, Dec. 21, 2018 – 

intoPIX, leading technology provider for innovative image processing and video compression, today announced that their compression technologist Antonin Descampe received the NBN award for his efforts in the development of the upcoming JPEG XS ISO standard - a new image compression technology that will simplify video transport between and within any audio-visual device.

Standardization is an important procedure for any industry, bringing a multitude of benefits to economy and customers. Most notably, standards lead to cost savings, internationalization, innovation, customer satisfaction, and sustainability. The Bureau for Standardisation (NBN) aims to specifically award those experts, that invest their time and energy into bridging the gap between science and the market. Often it is only thanks to their efforts that a discovery or innovation is turned into a standard which ultimately allows worldwide adoption.

Belgian technology provider intoPIX has long been living the idea of science-to-market. As an initial spin-off from the UC Louvain, the company had quickly established their improved JPEG 2000 implementation as an essential in Digital Cinema and Broadcast workflows.
