What is Zaxel Lossless Compression?
Zaxel Lossless Compression (ZLC) is a combination of algorithms that compress video at a throughput of up to 73MB/sec using an 800Mhz Pentium III processor. This allows real time compression at up to 73MB/sec, which is more than enough for most video applications. ZLC functions without the hardware overhead of other uncompressed capture systems. No expensive hardware compression boards are required. ZLC is software-only using a software RAID in an off-the-shelf PC; just add a second processor for HDTV resolution. Unlike lossy and so-called “lossless-quality” video compression schemes, ZLC makes no permanent changes to the video it compresses. The video that is decompressed is guaranteed to be bit-for-bit identical to the video that was originally compressed. Imagine a medical misdiagnosis because of compression artifacts — that’s why Zaxel Lossless Compression is so important to so many fields! How well does Zaxel Lossless Compression perform? ZLC performance varies with scene content
