1. Motion JPEG2000 Addition to Digital Motion Imagery
Recommended Standard
CCSDS B-1

2. History
Motion JPEG2000 (MJ2K) encoding has been a part of the Motion Imagery Applications (MIA) documents since the beginning.
MJ2K transmission was included in the first drafts of
Due to the lack of MJ2K transmission standards, MJ2K transmission was removed from when it was submitted for approval.
Unable to show 2 implementations or interoperability between at least 2 different vendors

3. History
As MIA was completing work on 766.1, an industry group was formed to develop common standards for MJ2K transmission – Video Services Forum (VSF) J2K Technical Recommendation Group
VSF is an industry group founded in 1998 “to support uniform delivery of video services” across the regional U.S. telephone companies, known as RBOCs. It’s predecessor group, the Video Services Industry Forum (VSIF), was funded by Bellcore (R&D group funded by the RBOCs). Bellcore dropped sponsorship after the RBOCs sold Bellcore in 1997.
VSF provides a forum for service providers and equipment vendors to work towards common and new standards.
VSF has had long standing relationships with virtually every organization developing, implementing, or regulating standards for audio and video transport

4. History
VSF developed TR Technical Recommendation for Transport of JPEG 2000 Broadcast Profile video in MPEG-2 TS over IP
VSF used existing standards for defining interoperable profiles for real-time streaming of MJ2K.
In particular, SMPTE ST2022-2:2007, Unidirectional Transport of Constant Bit Rate MPEG-2 Transport Streams on IP Networks
Uses RTP/UDP/IP stack

5. History
VSF published TR-01 early 2013 and began setting up interoperability events.
There have been 4 major interoperability workshops held by VSF starting Oct through January 2015.
Information published by the VSF J2K group in Jan indicated a 69% success rate between 7 vendors using 720p video (excludes vendor back-to-back tests)
Insufficient detail given to show CCSDS 2 implementations/2 vendor interoperability

6. Current Activities
NASA Imagery Experts Group (NIEG) arranged for an interoperability test at the NIEG DTV Test Facility
5 Vendors out of the 7 routine participants in the VSF tests participated in the NASA test
All video was 720p 59.94
Results – 80% success, also excluding vendor back-to- back tests

8. Follow-On
Gathered video from each vendor with standard test sequences to run Picture Quality Analysis tests
Will complete after CCSDS
Planning to do interoperability test with ISS Avionics simulator at the end of the next VSF workshop in January 2016
General Observations
Latency was a few frames (will be determined exactly when PQA tests are run)
VSF is working on sub-frame coding to create ultra-low latency encoding
Tests in 2010 with MJ2K showed 45 Mbps was the lower limit of acceptable performance
That limits appears to be more in the 30 Mbps range now
