Flywheel Ventures Announces Investment in Cinnafilm® to Accelerate Growth in Global Markets

Cinnafilm, Inc., a leader in file-based image processing technology, announced that Flywheel Ventures http://www.flywheelventures.com/ has recently completed an equity investment in Cinnafilm.

As broadcasters and media providers realize video quality and processing speed are paramount in next generation media workflows, Cinnafilm’s technology is at the forefront and in the early stages of widespread acceptance and deployment. With high-profile clients ESPN, FOX, Viacom, PBS and Turner Networks already on board, Cinnafilm expects its technology to become the gold standard for StandardsTranscodingTM. StandardsTranscoding is the process of performing a very complicated video standards conversion during the transcoding process. Historically, this has been a three-step process that utilizes expensive, proprietary hardware and takes video between disparate workflows – a time-consuming process. Cinnafilm’s TachyonTM is the first software-only solution which delivers the quality and speed of the legacy three-step, hardware-dependent process into a single step that is both faster and more flexible than the historical norm.
