What is JPEG2000?
JPEG2000 is a wavelet-based image compression standard that enables images to be retained digitally without distortion or loss., More than just a successor to the JPEG file format, the JPEG2000 standard is comprised of a family of parts that address still digital imagery (Part 1) and scanned documents (Part 6).
What types of JPEG2000 products does LuraTech offer?
We offer a number of products, such as source code and software development kits (SDKs) that can be built into your applications, conversion and command line tools for integration into existing workflow and the LuraWave® JP2 Image Content Server for extensive digital archiving projects.
What level of compression can I achieve with your software?
We offer the best balance of compression rates, image quality and performance of any solution on the market today. The compression rate depends on the input file (TIFF vs. an already compressed JPG) and whether you prefer lossless or lossy output. We offer a free trial of our software, so we’d invite you to test it out on the images you need to compress. Plus, our support team is available to help you choose the right settings for your unique needs.
What platforms do you support with your SDK’s? Do you support Win64?
We support a variety of platforms, including Windows (Win32, Win64), Linux, Solaris and more.
How fast are your SDKs compared to other implementations of JPEG2000?
We have one of the fastest on the market. However, while speed is extremely important, you must also consider image quality and compression rates. Since those three factors are all interrelated, we like to believe we offer the most balanced implementation – combing fast performance with superior image quality and compression rates.
How much does your software cost?
Our competitive pricing model takes into account a number of factors about how the product will be used. Will it be embedded in a larger application that is then sold and widely distributed? Or, are you implementing our software within a workflow at your organization? Also, you must take into consideration how much you plan to use the software. Our sales team can work with you to determine which pricing plan is best for your needs. Click here to contact our sales department.
What is a runtime license?
A runtime license is a software license that would allow you to use our software within an application or workflow over a defined period of time.
Does JPEG2000 require special software to view?
It depends on how you are using the product. To avoid installing any additional software, you can get the LuraWave JP2 Image Content Server for web viewing of JPEG2000 images, which enables images to be converted “on-the-fly” to JPEG. However, if you are building your own viewing applications, then any JP2 compliant codec will allow you to view the JPEG2000 images.
