Overview
The KanexPro JPEG2000 AV over IP family delivers visually lossless 4K60 video distribution over standard 1G Ethernet. Using the ISO/IEC 15444 JPEG2000 codec, these devices encode and decode 4K60 HDR video with approximately one frame of latency — making them suitable for video walls, command centers, and high-quality distribution applications where image fidelity is critical.
