JPEG-EX-F: Ultra-Fast Baseline and Extended JPEG Encoder
This JPEG compression IP core supports the Baseline and Extended Sequential DCT of ISO/IEC 10918-1 standard. It is scalable and ultra-high-performance, while handles extremely high pixel rates using significantly fewer silicon resources and less power than encoders for video compression standards such as HEVC/H,265, DSC, AVC/H.264, or JPEG200. The JPEG-EX-F encoder accepts images with up to 12-bit color samples and up to four color components, in all widely-used color subsampling formats. It can process from 2 to 32 color samples per clock cycle enabling it to compress UHD (4K/8K) video and/or very high frame video. Standalone operation, once programmed, with straightforward SoC integration (standard AMBA I/F - AXI Streaming & APB Slave). CAST’s IP Integration Services are also available for JPEG subsystems (the JPEG decoder with video interface controllers, Hardware UDPIP or Transport Stream networking stacks, or other IP cores available from CAST).

JPEG-EX-S: Baseline and Extended JPEG Encoder
The JPEG-EX-S IP core supports Baseline and Extended Sequential DCT modes of ISO/IEC 10918-1, implementing a high-performance, area-efficient HW JPEG encoder for ASIC or FPGA with low latency. It produces compressed JPEG images and Motion-JPEG payloads, handling 8- or 12-bit samples and up to four components in all common subsampling formats. Processing one sample per cycle, it can compress multiple Full-HD channels even in low-cost FPGAs. One of the smallest encoders, it uses ~80k gates in ASICs. Once programmed, it operates standalone without host assistance. Integration is simple via AMBA®: AXI Streaming for pixels/data and 32-bit APB for registers, with optional AXI Streaming for timestamps or metadata. CAST offers IP Integration Services delivering complete JPEG subsystems with decoders, video interfaces, UDP/IP or Transport Stream stacks, or other IP. Designed to industry best practices, reliability is proven by verification, production use, and a bit-accurate software model.

JPEG-LS-D: Lossless & Near-Lossless JPEG-LS Decoder
The JPEG-LS-D core, a highly efficient & low-power, lossless & near-lossless image decompression engine & compliant to the JPEG-LS, ISO/IEC 14495-1 standard, can decompress any JPEG-LS stream or JPEG-LS payload of image container formats. It accepts compressed streams of images with up to 16-bit per color samples & up to 4 color components, in all widely used color subsampling formats, supporting oversize image dimension parameters & resolutions higher than 64k x 64k. With standalone operation, parsing marker segments & decompressing coded data, the core reports back the image format. APP or COM marker segments are also passed to the system via a dedicated interface. Straightforard integration, standardized AMBA® I/F (compressed data & outputs pixel data, frame format information, APP or COM marker via AXI4-Stream - access to control & status registers via 32-bit APB). A wrapper that bridges the AXI-Stream interfaces to AXI4 can optionally be delivered with the core.

JPEG-LS-E: Lossless & Near-Lossless JPEG-LS Encoder
The JPEG-LS-E core is a low-power, high-efficient image compression engine compliant with JPEG-LS (ISO/IEC 14495-1). Based on the LOCO-I algorithm, it achieves compression ratios comparable or superior to JPEG2000 in lossless mode, while requiring far less area & memory thanks to its low complexity & line-based processing. Its Near-Lossless mode enables higher compression ratios with visually lossless quality, letting users define the max pixel error. It delivers full JPEG-LS compression efficiency in a compact, easy-to-integrate hardware block. It connects through AMBA® interfaces: AXI4-Stream for image input & compressed output, & a 32-bit APB for control & status. Once configured, it can process unlimited images without host intervention, with optional metadata or timestamps inserted via a dedicated streaming port. The core’s robustness has been proven through extensive verification & silicon validation & is delivered with a full verification environment & bit-accurate SW model.

LIN: LIN Bus Master/Slave Controller
The LIN-CTRL core is a controller that transmits and receives complete LIN frames to perform serial communication according to the LIN Protocol Specification. It can be configured before the synthesis to operate as a master, slave or include both profiles. When configured with both – master and slave, then at run-time, the LIN-CTRL can operate either as a master or as a slave and supports versions 1.3, 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 of the LIN protocol. The message transfers can be controlled via a microcontroller interface and a LIN transceiver is needed for the connection to the LIN bus. The LIN-CTRL core is a microcode-free design developed for reuse in ASIC and FPGA implementations. The robustly verified core has been production-proven multiple times. The LIN controller core is available in two versions: Standard, and Safety-Enhanced. The Safety-Enhanced versions are certified as ISO-26262 ASIL-D Ready.

Lossless Compression IP
Gidel’s lossless compression IP targeting FPGA performs real-time compression for Color Filter Array (CFA – e.g., Bayer), Monochrome, and RGB images and videos. The IP enables compression of multi-camera/sensor inputs at pixel clock rates exceeding 1 gigapixel/s while using very small FPGA resources and minimal power consumption. The compression is highly efficient and, in real-case video applications, has achieved a lossless compression ratio of 1:2.3. The Lossless IP can be embedded seamlessly in Gidel's image acquisition systems, including the Gidel frame grabbers and compact edge computers. The compression supports high-end camera streaming, including 10+ GigE Vision, CoaXPress and Camera Link. Gidel's real-time compression IPs are particularly beneficial for high-bandwidth and high-resolution imaging and vision application enabling increased recording time, reduced storage size, and reduced post recording data offload and compression time on host computer.
