Wohler Distributes Cinnafilm's Tachyon Wormhole

Wohler has been announced as the exclusive master distributor for Cinnafilm's Tachyon Wormhole, an automated file-based retiming solution that enables up to a plus or minus 10 per cent runtime adjustment while preserving video and audio quality as well as also closed caption integrity.

The solution is based upon the RadiantGrid Intelligent Media Transformation Platform and Wohler will offer it directly and through select resellers.
Using Cinnafilm's Tachyon Standards Transcoding plug-in for the Wohler RadiantGrid Intelligent Media Transformation Platform, Tachyon Wormhole gives time back to broadcasters by evolving the media transformation process from a business cost into a source of revenue generatio.
Using Wohler's RadiantGrid software platform as its processing framework, the Wormhole system can process up to two HD streams in real time. The technology also facilitates retiming of closed caption data and integration of audio retiming into the Cinnafilm Tachyon Wormhole video-processing workflow. It handles unlimited channels of audio and resynchronises CEA-608 and -708 captions, as well as SMPTE 436M and 360M caption data. Users select the target runtime by choosing a specific length or by entering a percentage adjustment.
"The Cinnafilm Tachyon Wormhole solution has enjoyed incredible interest among customers with a need to retime media while retaining both video quality and associated ancillary attributes within the file-based domain," said Craig Newbury, vice president sales for Wohler's RadiantGrid business line. "Our enhanced distribution channels, coupled with an intimate understanding of the capabilities and application of the Tachyon Wormhole solution, make Wohler the natural partner for this product. We are very excited to be working closely with Cinnafilm to deliver this unique product to a wider market."
"Naming Wohler our worldwide distribution partner for the Tachyon Wormhole appliance was an easy decision since we had already partnered with the company on the technology side," said Ernie Sanchez, vice president at Cinnafilm. "Our global clients will quickly realize the value of having a distributor that can not only supply the appliance, but also provide expert support for every aspect of the functionality our combined technologies deliver."
