Silicon Optix announced the acquisition of Teranex, Inc., a supplier of Hollywood quality image processing solutions for the broadcast, post-production, and high-end home theater markets. The acquisition occurred in late July for an undisclosed amount.
Teranex's high-end platforms are used by movie studios, post-production houses and broadcasters including NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, WB and Turner Networks along with broadcasters in Europe, Japan, Australia, China and South Korea
. Teranex's technology roots go back to the early 1980s, where Lockheed Martin developed it for tactical image and video processing.
Teranex has spent many years perfecting the video processing algorithms in cooperation with the most demanding customers – the "Golden Eyes" of broadcast and post-production. Silicon Optix will continue to support Teranex's customers and maintain its operations in Orlando, Florida. The product line will retain the Teranex name.
