Welcome to j2k TODAY
We find ourselves at the start of 2007 and the JPEG2000 format is finally starting to find its footing and things are getting interesting. BroadMotion was “officially” incorporated in 2004, although we had been developing our JPEG2000 technology even before then. It was January 2006 at CES when we came out of “stealth” mode.
Throughout 2006 we spent our development cycles on embedded optimization while business development focused on exploring the right markets and customers for our codec. JPEG2000 has gotten a lot of attention from the video surveillance space. We have seen a number of implementations of our technology within DVR designs used in surveillance applications.
Of course, digital cinema has a lot of attention since they mandated the format in July 2005. That alone has probably done more to raise awareness of the format. Actually deployment within digital cinema is still fairly slow, but we expect that to accelerate in 2007.
It’s off to Las Vegas and CES 2007 where we expect to encounter all sorts of new interest in JPEG2000!

You guys might take a look at JPEG 2000 goings-on in library and archive communities. We have been actively evaluating and adopting the standard for the last eight years.
A number of big-deal projects/institutions now use JPEG 2000 for image delivery, including the Open Content Alliance (OCA) and the Library of Congress

Finally, have a look at the format sustainability pages at the Library of Congress:
