TRUDEF™ Fractal
Video Scaling, 2K to 4K Workflow
WILMINGTON,
DELAWARE -- January 9, 2013
- TMM, Inc. (Pink Sheet: TMMI)
("TMMI" or "the Company") TMM, Inc. is pleased to
demonstrate examples featuring high quality TRUDEF™ Fractal Scaling
from 2K
to 4K. TRUDEF™ enables video production workflow to remain in 2K
throughout
the entire production, post-production and distribution process
with the
benefit of playing at 4K with no increase in file storage size or
bandwidth
requirements.
The unique Resolution Independent nature of TRUDEF™ technology
enables
digital video to be scaled up, achieving superior videos images
with
visually lossless display. With TRUDEF™'s patented fractal
compression
technology, scaling calculations are performed during compression.
Most
other forms of video scaling are performed after decompression,
which
inevitably includes unwanted color loss, degraded content and
compression
artifacts.
TRUDEF™ fractal scaling has been tested and demonstrated
successfully in
multiple image acquisition formats, including ARRI ALEXA, RED ONE,
RED
EPIC, Blackmagic Cinema Camera, and Canon EOS 7D cameras as well as
scanned
16mm and 35mm motion picture film with excellent results that
retain the
high quality of the original source images.
One significant advantage is that these qualities of first
generation
TRUDEF™ compressed video files now can continue though post
production and
can be delivered to digital cinemas and home theaters without any
further
transcoding unless special effects are required. This makes it
possible for
a digital file containing video shot in 2K, which has been
compressed by
TRUDEF™, to be decoded at either 2K or 4K resolution to correspond
to the
intent of the content creator or the specifications of the
viewing
equipment. These files are classified as .FVF (Fractal Video
Format).
Because TRUDEF™ .FIF files are Intra Frames, normal generation loss
is
avoided when performing Linear or Non-Linear Editing. Samples of
the
technology can be seen as high quality TRUDEF™ single .FIF (Fractal
Intra
Frame) at http://www.tmmi.us/TRUDEF_4K.php
(These
"I" frames have been extracted from TRUDEF™ compressed videos
.FVF and converted to .BMP format for demo purposes.)
TRUDEF™ offers consumers an immediate solution to the lack of 4K
content
currently available in response to demand created by the
proliferation of
new 4K displays currently entering the market. TRUDEF™ will enable
the
enormous volume of archived 2K content to be shown in a higher
level of
quality than standard scaling methods provide.
TMM, Inc. is seeking content providers to demonstrate their
artistic work
in the TRUDEF™ 4K experience.
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF TMM, INC.:
GERARD V. CAVANAUGH
CHAIRMAN AND PRESIDENT
