JPEG XS (standardized as ISO/IEC 21122) is an image and video codec that offers both visually and mathematically lossless quality. It is a special-purpose codec that is specifically designed to allow for low-complexity and low-latency implementations.[2][3] Target applications of the standard include streaming high-quality content for professional video over IP (SMPTE ST 2022 and ST 2110) in broadcast and other applications: virtual reality, drones, autonomous vehicles using cameras, gaming.[2][4][5] Although there is not an official acronym definition, XS was chosen to highlight the extra small and extra speed characteristics of the codec.
