The C-cube CL550-JPEG image compression processor
Stephen C. Purcell · 2002
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.>
