[Avid-L2] jpeg2000 (aka j2k) standard on Avid MCn

I'm trying to help a colleague with a fairly large archiving/digitizing project for a career's worth of NTSC work. The last time I posted about this someone mentioned capturing in jpeg2000.

Since (or when) jpeg2000 was introduced as a compression flavor in the Avid world (for both SD & HD)… what niche was it supposed to occupy or need was it supposed to fill?

Without having worked with it, I associate it with archiving and know it is promoted for that by the Library of Congress as there is a lossless version of it. Because it has jpeg in the name, one assumes it offers a compressed flavor, but that is as much as I know and I would like to learn more.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Paul
