JPEG XR Device Porting Kit v1.0 - April 2013
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
JPEG XR
|
|
-------
|
|
This device porting kit (DPK) supports the JPEG XR still image format, based on
|
|
technology originally developed by Mirosoft under the name HD Photo (formerly
|
|
Windows Media™ Photo). The JPEG XR format is similar, but not identical, to the
|
|
HD Photo/Windows Media™ Photo format.
|
|
|
|
The JPEG XR format replaces the HD Photo/Windows Media™ Photo format in both
|
|
Windows 8 and the Windows Image Component (WIC). WIC accompanies the Internet
|
|
Explorer 10 redistributable packages for down-level versions of Windows.
|
|
Some “Windows Media™ Photo” (WMP) naming conventions are still used internally
|
|
with this release of the DPK.
|
|
|
|
JPEG XR files use the .jxr extension. Applications that support the JPEG XR
|
|
file format should recognize and decode HD Photo/Windows Media™ Photo
|
|
.hdp/.wdp files, but only offer to create files with the .jxr extension.
|

Device Porting Kit Contents
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
This device porting kit contains documentation, reference source code, sample
|
|
applications and utilities for the evaluation and implementation of the JPEG XR
|
|
file format and compression technology.
|
|
|
|
Assuming the installation dir is C:\jxrlib, all the paths mentioned below are
|
|
relative to this base path.
|
|
|
|
The Visual Studio 2010 main solution is:
|
|
jxrencoderdecoder\JXR.sln
|
|
|
|
The Visual Studio 2012 main solution is:
|
|
jxrencoderdecoder\JXR_vc11.sln
|
|
|
|
Build JXR.sln Debug Configuration, you will get:
|
|
jxrencoderdecoder\Debug\JXRDecApp\JXRDecApp.exe
|
|
jxrencoderdecoder\Debug\JXREncApp\JXREncApp.exe
|
|
|
|
The main directory contains a Unix/Linux compatible make file for building the
|
|
encoder and decoder, including support for big endian or little endian processor
|
|
architecture. It is the developer's responsibility to properly organize all the
|
|
source files according to the paths defined in this make file for its correct
|
|
operation. This is provided as a convenience for cross-platform developers and
|
|
to demonstrate the correct operation of the encoder and decoder on big endian
|
|
systems.
|
|
|
|
The JPEG XR Image Coding Spectification provides a detailed specification of the
|
|
compression encoder and decoder algorithms plus the detailed structure of the
|
|
compressed data (elementary) bit stream. This document is designed to be used in
|
|
conjunction with the included source code. If you find instances where the code
|
|
differs from the documentation, the code implementation should be used as the
|
|
reference.
|
|
|
|
The JPEG XR Image Coding Spectification is an international standard and is
|
|
available at: http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-T.832 while the reference software is
|
|
available at: http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-T.835.
|
|
|
|
"JPEGXR_DPK_1.0.doc" documents the contents of this porting kit, the usage of
|
|
the command line file conversion utilities (JXREncApp.exe and JXRDecApp.exe), and
|
|
technical details of the API's and data structures between these sample command
|
|
line applications and the core codec.
|
|
|
|
The code and documentation in this release represent the final design and
|
|
specification of the 1.0 bit stream, and can be used as the reference for final
|
|
implementations of encoders and decoders for JPEG XR.
|
|
|
|
This release of the DPK has received extensive testing of all the various pixel
|
|
formats, encoder options and modes of operation. We are confident that most errors
|
|
and other bugs have been resolved. Any code bugs, documentation errors or other
|
|
discrepancies found in this release candidate should be reported to Microsoft as
|
|
promptly as possible. These can be submitted to hdview@microsoft.com.
|
|
|
|
This DPK provides basic support for big endian architectures. We have
|
|
successfully tested the encoder and decoder using a big endian processor. This
|
|
support is provided as a starting reference to be adapted to the specific
|
|
platform and hardware architecture of the target system.
