The C-cube CL550-JPEG image compression processor

The CL550 provides a single-chip real-time solution for image compression and decompression applications. It implements the baseline ISO/CCITT Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) proposed international standard for image compression and decompression. The CL550 is designed for applications that manipulate high-quality digital pictures and motion sequences. The CL550 can encode and decode gray-scale and color images at video rates. The compression ratio is controlled by on-chip quantization tables. Images can be compressed from 8:1 to 100:1 depending on the quality, storage, and bandwidth requirements of each application.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
