“Cinnafilm has a proven record for creating world-class image optimization for theatrical content with our Texture Manager product. With Tachyon, we have achieved a mature level of broadcast transcoding and file management by partnering with RadiantGrid® to provide a stable transcoding framework for our new Dark Energy Tachyon” Lance Maurer, CEO of Cinnafilm said. “RadiantGrid was a logical partner to team up with to solve today’s difficult, file-based video issues; and the end result of our partnership is perhaps the most comprehensive, highest performing toolset available in the market. Cinnafilm is proud to ship this new product after much research in what broadcasters and content providers want and need to meet their production deadlines.”
Dark Energy Tachyon is ideal for content providers needing automated, accurate results from source material that may or may not meet the quality standards of their clients in its present state. “Providers of online content such as iTunes®, Xbox®, Amazon.com, all have very high quality standards for their video.” said Ernie Sanchez, COO of Cinnafilm. “We know that getting first-time acceptance of submissions is incredibly important because re-work equals lost revenue. Knowing your transcodes have automatically been corrected of problems you did or did not know about is an indispensable tool for high volume business. Only Tachyon can provide these kinds of assurances.”
