Cinnafilm's PixelStrings Wins 2018 Hollywood Professional Association Engineering Excellence Award
01/11/2018
PixelStrings is a cloud-based video conversion service focusing on ultimate playback quality for media. Leveraging the award-winning framerate conversion, retiming, artifact/noise/telecine correction and transcode technologies from Cinnafilm, this PaaS enables the mass creation of best-possible video versions, while leveraging infinite, GPU-enabled cloud compute power. The platform is a growing hub of other best-of-breed media technologies and is a simple pay-as-you-use toolset available 24/7 through a browser. PixelStrings enables the freedom of a predictable OpEx process.
Winners were determined through a highly competitive judging session held at IMAX on June 16. Awards will be given out at the 13th annual HPA Awards gala at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles on November 15.
Joachim Zell, Chair of the HPA Awards Engineering Committee, said, Once again, the Engineering Excellence judging sessions brought us outstanding presentations from a variety of companies at work in different parts of the media and entertainment ecosystem. The presenters are representative of the amazing work that great companies and brilliant individuals are bringing to the marketplace. The judges had a strong field of excellent technologies to evaluate, and the results were extremely close. Based on the effort, talent, and time from the presenters and the enthusiasm of the judges, it is clear that the HPA Engineering Excellence award is meaningful to our industry, and I want to personally thank our presenters and our intrepid judges. Congratulations to the winners and to the entrants for truly impressive work.
Winning the HPA Engineering Excellence Award is such an amazing honor for us, says CEO Lance Maurer. The Cinnafilm team has created something truly special with PixelStrings - when respected peers recognize the impact an endeavor like this represents to our industry, it is really quite special. We believe we have not just created a new technology with PixelStrings, but we are enabling a new way of doing business in the cloud.
This year's recipients also include Blackmagic Design, Canon and IBM Aspera/Telestream. Samsung received an honorable mention. This is the third win for Cinnafilm, succeeding past wins in 2012 and 2014.
