The Vitec Group has acquired Paralinx, a US-based provider of wireless video systems.
Paralinx will join Teradek and SmallHD in Vitec Videocom’s Creative Solutions business unit.
Vitec Videocom chief executive Matt Danilowicz said: “By combining Paralinx’s deep understanding of the market with Teradek’s engineering acumen, both companies are positioned to develop truly cutting-edge technology tailored specifically to their customers’ needs.”
Paralinx will continue to provide kit for the UAV and independent content creator sectors while Teradek will focus on cinema and television applications.
Paralinx was founded by International Cinematographers Guild members Dan Kanes (pictured) and Greg Smokler with the aim of developing a new wave of affordable, high definition wireless video tools for professionals and enthusiasts.
Kanes said: “When we launched Paralinx in 2012, our mission was simple: to enable filmmakers to monitor wirelessly a camera’s HD recording in real time.
“We sought to bring a new level of freedom to video production, an essential link in digital cinematography.
“Now, in 2015, we are excited to be joining forces with Teradek and SmallHD, other innovators under the world-renowned Vitec Group, to continue empowering content creators with revolutionary technology and unparalleled support.”
