Independent JPEG Group (IJG) Compatibility

Compatibility of IJG software compression with Parallax

The default compression of the IJG software (utilized in many, many software packages) is 4:1:1 JPEG, which is perfectly legal (standard) JPEG. However, the CL550 JPEG compression/decompression chip on the Parallax digital video cards uses the higher-quality 4:2:2 JPEG compression standard. Therefore, if your application utilizes the IJG software for JPEG compression, you must make a small modification to this software, and recompile in order to save in 4:2:2 format.

Edit the file "jcparam.c" Look for the function "jpeg_set_colorspace()" Look for the "case JCS_YCbCr:" Change the first call to the Macro SET_COMP From:

    SET_COMP(0, 1, 2, 2, 0, 0, 0); 

To:
    SET_COMP(0, 1, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0);
