Tachyon noun \ˈta-kē-än\ A hypothetical subatomic particle that moves faster than light.
Although it is just a theory in astrophysics, it is a reality for Cinnafilm
clients and partners. Equipped with the powerful Pixel Strings motion
estimation engine, Tachyon plug-ins give users of popular transcoding
platforms access to high quality standards conversions tools that has
been the missing piece for years.
Cinnafilm’s patented, GPU - based Tachyon processes are available to-
day in the industry’s most popular transcoding platforms. The need to
rip and replace an entire workflow, just to achieve real-time Standards
Transcoding, has come to an end.

Cinnafilm has selected NVIDIA
as their GPU provider of choice.
Optimized to run on CUDA
parallel processing, Pixel Strings
shatters performance expectations
with NVIDIA’s teraflops of process-
ing power. Cinnafilm and NVIDIA
are redefining how fast a single
workstation, single GPU software
solution can be.

IMAGE SCALINGEven in mature, file-based workflows, a trip to baseband
is sometimes required because the high-quality image
scalers reside outside of the file domain. Tachyon provides
an image scaling solution that surpasses many of the “big
name” legacy hardware devices and is a simple command
line versus a round trip to/from baseband. With the ability
to provide resolutions ranging from mobile devices to 4K
theatrical, Tachyon is the only scaling device your file-based
workflow will need.

With broadcasters around the globe sharing content, the need for file-based, high quality mo-
tion estimated frame rate conversions has become paramount. In Tachyon, PAL/ NTSC/Theatrical
frame rate conversions are all performed accurately using phase correlation and other motion
estimation data. Even the most challenging cadence issues, such as broken pulldown patterns,
composited images where pulldown patterns are out of phase, and Intermixed pulldown/inter-
laced images, are automatically fixed using Cinnafilm’s advanced algorithms. Higher quality im-
ages, higher transcoding success rates, and the ability to convert to any frame rate – that is the
power of Tachyon.

DARK ENERGY PLUG-INThe legendary image optimization capabilities of Dark Energy are available as a plug-in to
Tachyon. Fully automated denoise/degrain/dustbust algorithms remove up to 80% of all un-
wanted noise and single instance anomalies. We begin with a highly accurate scene cut detec-
tion so we can segment each shot for optimal noise reduction. Next is a thorough noise profil-
ing using a powerful spatial-temporal hybrid filter which performs analysis in 4 frequency ranges
in each color channel. The result is noise reduction without loss of image sharpness or detail.
