Continuum | 01Cinnafilm proudly announces its NEW cloud image processing service, PixelStrings For over a decade, Cinnafilm has carved a reputable name for itself by providing stellar image processing solutions producing great looking content for cinema, broadcast and OTT. Whether you are pulling together random camera footage prior to edit, fixing an old clip with bad telecine artifacts and noise, or converting outputs for custom distribution in different markets, we ensure your content looks as good as mathematically possible. That is our value proposition to you. From iPhone to IMAX and every format in between, we strive to make sure your investment looks as good as your images.
Now, with the advent of unlimited GPU cloud compute, we are able to deliver our technology as a direct-to-consumer PaaS for the first time, and in a pay-as-you-go model that is simple and predictable. Anyone who is familiar with our products will find all the standard settings here, and everything we do is assembled into one ecosystem for single-pass rendering.
PixelStrings is a bold step for Cinnafilm, and big ideas like this take time to evolve. Our intent is to grow a community of users as we grow the toolset we are all in it together. Over time, you will see more killer features added like CineCert's IMF wrapping, our own Wormhole retiming solution, fast, efficient cloud storage options provided by FileCatalyst as well.
At NAB will show PixelStrings V2.0, which offers added features and codecs.
Onward!

Here are some screen shots from the PixelStrings platform:
RadiantGrid Redux Filling the Enterprise Transcoder Gap In the 2000s, Rhozet Corp. released an enterprise-grade transcoder called Carbon Coder. It dominated the market by providing great encoding quality, outstanding multicore processor utilization and the ability to start as a self-contained system and then scale to any size of farm desired. And, it did all this at an entry price point of just $5,000 (USD). Carbon Coder had its strengths and weaknesses, but without a doubt, it created a solid niche in the market which has never been filled since it was discontinued.
When Cinnafilm purchased RadiantGrid from Wohler last year, we initially saw it as an opportunity to ensure the viability of our Wormhole retiming product, provide an all-in-one solution that many of our clients had asked for in the past, and help strengthen the relationships we had with the mutual clients we had built with RadiantGrid's former parent company, Wohler. But when we received customer inquires about the transcoder we quickly realized this exceptional transcoding product had much more to offer
Recognizing that the gap in the enterprise transcoding market had never been filled since Carbon Coder was discontinued, it was time to break out the shovels and start filling. We knew that Rhozet already provided an exceptional example at what people want: features, scalability, quality, low price yeah, sounds easy. But we wanted to make it even harder on ourselves, so we are also addressing many of the shortcomings which caused thousands of Carbon Coder users to leave their beloved Rhozet. All while maintaining the same $5,000 price point!
So here we go:
Start with a self-contained solution for $5,000 that includes
Full 10-bit CODEC support in a 16-bit pipeline
Ingest/Demux/Decode nearly any container/CODEC type WITHOUT having to know ANYTHING about the file
DPP video legalization
Watch folder system or MAM-based control (via XML)
High-performance, multi-core, multi-threaded architecture
4 simultaneous transcoding outputs
Gridded transcoding, which allows users to divide a single file into multiple pieces for incredibly fast transcoding
Make it Expandible as necessary
Add additional simultaneous transcoding outputs to fully leverage multiple, high-core CPUs (vertical scaling)
Add a manager ($3,000 USD) and additional nodes to create the right-sized farm (horizontal scaling)
Add Tachyon, Dark Energy, Wormhole, Dolby, Linear Acoustic options to meet workflow needs
Put a roadmap together that makes sense
64-bit platform
ProRes HQ, H.265, J2k support
Rec 2020, HDR, ACES support
If you are a Carbon Coder user and have longed for the ability to add ProRes without breaking the bank, or just wanted a 10-bit pipeline, or needed video legalization, RadiantGrid may be worth a look.
Bending Space and Time What's New with Cinnafilm Products SpaceTime is the idea of taking three-dimensional space and fusing it with the single dimension of time, into a four-dimensional continuum. We view our technology along the same 4D continuum.
To better reflect how our products are developed, and to recognize that each of them are all part of the same parent concept, Cinnafilm is updating the name of our product library SpaceTime. Today, the library is known as the tachyon.dll, but it has always been much more than just Tachyon. This one little DLL has all of the spatial magic of Dark Energy, the frame mechanics of Tachyon, and the retiming wizardry of Wormhole. Calling it just tachyon.dll seemed a little undeserving. Starting with the 8.0 release, the library will be referred to as the spacetime.dll . Pretty cool huh?
Release number with this update, we have decided to make all SpaceTime feature sets an 8.0 release going forward. In this way, we have only one set of release notes to provide. So, as of this release we are at Tachyon 8.0, Dark Energy 8.0, and Wormhole 8.0. The only exception is Dark Energy Professional, which is a different code base. That will remain a 5.0.
So what's new in SpaceTime 8.0?
Let's start with Tachyon 8.0: The primary advancement in Tachyon 8 is our fifth-generation m
