LAS VEGAS, NV April 20, 2026 Glookast, a leading developer of intelligent workflow automation tools for the broadcast, media and entertainment industry, today announced a comprehensive set of product advances at NAB Show 2026. These innovations span a completely redesigned user experience for Media Producer, YouTube and social media connectors (as both publish destinations and ingest sources), an Adobe Premiere Pro panel that leverages Adobe UXP, a Cinnafilm Tachyon plugin, enhanced Gallery Pro control capabilities, loop recording for Scheduler, and a macOS client for file-based tools.
Leveraging Cinnafilm's Tachyon LIVE Tool, and Powered by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 (Blackwell Architecture), the Optional Plugin Delivers World-Class Standards Conversion, Frame Rate Conversion, and AI-Enhanced Quality, Intelligently Optimized for Both Live and File-Based Production
LAS VEGAS, NV April 19, 2026 Glookast today announced the Cinnafilm Tachyon Plugin for Media Producer and Media Services, an optional premium add-on that brings Cinnafilm's industry-renowned Tachyon LIVE video processing engine directly into Glookast workflows. Powered by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 (Blackwell architecture), the plugin delivers GPU-accelerated standards conversion, frame rate conversion, and de-interlacing at broadcast quality, with intelligent optimization modes that automatically adapt to the demands of live production or file-based post-production.
Broadcasting has always demanded perfection at every stage, but the industry has too often been forced to choose between workflow efficiency and image quality. That compromise ends here. Glookast brings best-of-breed workflow intelligence automated, thoroughly integrated into multiple platforms, orchestrated, and built for the complexity of modern broadcast operations and Cinnafilm brings best-of-breed image processing in Tachyon. When you combine those two without compromise, you get a pipeline that's as smart as it is pristine, said Matt Silva, CEO of Glookast
The Cinnafilm Tachyon Plugin is available as an optional, separately licensed add-on for Media Producer and Media Services, starting with version 26.4, releasing immediately following NAB Show 2026.
About Cinnafilm Tachyon
Cinnafilm Tachyon is a video processing platform trusted across the broadcast and post-production industry for delivering superior quality in the most demanding conversion and enhancement workflows. Its core capabilities span standards conversion (HD, UHD, and beyond), frame rate conversion across all broadcast and cinematic frame rates, high-quality de-interlacing, up/down/cross scaling, and aspect ratio conversion. Where conventional software transcoding compromises quality in exchange for speed, Tachyon's algorithms analyze motion, preserve detail, and produce results that meet the quality bar of the most demanding broadcast and post-production environments. It is trusted by networks, post facilities, and distribution platforms worldwide.
Powered by NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Blackwell Architecture
The Cinnafilm Tachyon Plugin is GPU-accelerated using the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, built on NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture. Blackwell represents NVIDIA's most advanced GPU architecture to date, delivering significant generational improvements in compute throughput, memory bandwidth, and AI tensor performance, all of which translate directly into faster, higher-quality video processing.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Key Specifications
-> Architecture: Blackwell (GB205) massively parallel CUDA compute for real-time video processing
-> CUDA Cores: 6,144 parallel frame processing across all active video channels simultaneously
-> Memory: 12 GB GDDR7 high-bandwidth access enabling real-time multi-stream processing at HD, 2K, and 4K
-> Tensor Cores: 5th Generation accelerates detail enhancement, and adaptive motion analysis
-> CUDA Compute: Capability 10.x compatible with the latest Tachyon GPU processing pipeline
The RTX 5070's GDDR7 memory subsystem delivers substantially higher bandwidth than previous GPU generations, enabling real-time processing of high-resolution content without the latency penalties that have historically constrained GPU-based broadcast pipelines. The 5th-generation Tensor Cores underpin Tachyon's motion-compensated detail preservation which now executes in real time within the Glookast workflow rather than requiring offline rendering time.
Intelligent Optimization: Live Mode and File-Based Mode
The Tachyon Plugin automatically adjusts its processing pipeline based on the production context, eliminating the need for manual configuration switching:
LIVE MODE
Optimized for speed and low latency
Prioritizes processing speed and pipeline latency for on-air and live event production. The Tachyon engine is configured for real-time throughput, ensuring complex conversions introduce minimum delay in a live broadcast chain. Ideal for: live sports, news, live events, real-time distribution conversion.
FILE-BASED MODE
Optimized for maximum output quality
Applies full processing depth for post-production, archive, and high-value deliverable workflows including multi-pass motion analysis, and precision detail preservation to produce results that meet the highest broadcast and archival quality standards. Ideal for: archive conversion, OTT master preparation, post-production finishing.
Both modes operate natively within the Glookast workflow. Operations teams get the right quality-latency balance for every job, without added complexity.
