The company expects it to democratize the technical art of image optimization and video conver- sions, while making these necessary and complex processes more affordable. Although PixelStrings is new, the technology behind it is not. Beginning in 2004, Cinnafilm began leveraging the only affordable, fast and high-scale com- puting technology available at the time, namely, GPUs from Nvidia ® . "Our code has always evolved to sat- urate the complete potential of the cur- rent generation Nvidia cards at any given time," says Lance Maurer, Cinnafilm Co- founder and Chief Executive Officer. "We've been programming on GPUs for almost 14 years, so we have vast experi- ence in extreme high-performance image processing." Cinnafilm's product line has includ- ed three distinct technologies: Dark Energy ® (noise reduction, texture opti- mization and up-converts); Tachyon ® (faster than real time, broadcast-quality de-interlacing, inverse telecine, challenging frame rate conversions and varispeeds); and Wormhole (high quality runtime conversions for commercials, programs and movies). These pow- erful tools are primarily marketed and sold through Cinnafilm's OEM partners Telestream, Imagine, Dalet, Root6, SDVI, HS Art and Ortana Media Group. Now comes Cinnafilm's next prod- uct, PixelStrings. PixelStrings is a cloud-based image processing Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS).
