Today Zaxel announced that the movie agency under the Chinese government has been using Zaxel's mathematically lossless compression to archive their digital intermediaries.

China's State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television, SARFT, controls television stations, radio stations, and movie studios nation wide.

SARFT's movie division first purchased Zaxel's servers with ZLC, Zaxel mathematically lossless compression, ten years ago, and has been archiving digital intermediaries.

ZLC is versatile; it works with more color space as well as more bit-depth than JPEG 2000 mathematically lossless compression.   ZLC can encode the color space of RGB, YUV, XYZ, and RAW, and color-depth of 8, 10, 12, and 16.  Moreover, ZLC easily adapts to more color spaces and color-depths not mentioned above.

ZLC runs fast; it compresses and decompresses 4K 10 bit RGB files faster than 60 frames per second on inexpensive graphics cards, such as NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580.

ZLC is efficient; The ZLC compression ratio on RGB frame is 2 to 1, but but the compression ratio on RAW is 6 to 1.

In comparison, JPEG 2000 Mathematically Lossless Compression needs expensive accelerator card, and still can compress 4K RGB files at 10 frames per second.  JPEG 2000 cannot compress RAW files either.

Being implemented as a software application, ZLC runs on microprocessor or on GPU.
