You might only know JPEG as the default image compression standard, but the group behind it has now branched out into something new: JPEG XS<\/a>. JPEG XS is described as a new low-energy format<\/a> designed to stream live video and VR, even over WiFi and 5G networks. It\u2019s not a replacement for JPEG and the file sizes themselves won\u2019t be smaller; it\u2019s just that this new format is optimized specifically for lower latency and energy efficiency. In other words, JPEG is for downloading, but JPEG XS is more for streaming.<\/p>\n

The new standard was introduced this week<\/a> by the Joint Photographic Experts Group, which says that the aim of JPEG XS is to \u201cstream the files instead of storing them in smartphones or other devices with limited memory.\u201d So in addition to getting faster HD content on your large displays, the group also sees JPEG XS as a valuable format for faster stereoscopic VR streaming plus videos streamed by drones and self-driving cars.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are compressing less in order to better preserve quality, and we are making the process faster while using less energy,\u201d says JPEG leader Touradj Ebrahimi in a statement. According to Ebrahimi, the JPEG XS video compression will be less severe than with JPEG photos \u2014 while JPEG photos are compressed by a factor of 10, JPEG XS is compressed by a factor of 6. The group promises a \u201cvisual lossless\u201d quality to the images of JPEG XS.<\/p>\n
