International. Vitec Group has acquired Paralinx, a California company known for its high-quality wireless video systems. Paralinx will join Vitec Group's Videocom Division, complementing its existing brands.
Paralinx was founded by Dan Kane and Greg Smokler, two members of the International Filmmakers Guild (ICG) who sought to develop a new wave of high-definition, affordable wireless video tools for professionals and amateurs alike. The company will join Teradek and SmallHD in Vitec Videocom's creative solutions business unit.
"Like Teradek and SmallHD, Paralinx is another great example of the pioneering spirit that is so important to disrupting the professional video industry with game-changing products and top-notch customer support. By combining Paralinx's deep understanding of the market with Teradek's engineering, both companies are in a position to truly develop cutting-edge technology tailored specifically to their customers' needs," said Vitec Videocom CEO Matt Danilowicz.
To adequately meet the growing demand for wireless video devices, Paralinx will continue to innovate in UAV and independent content creator spaces, while Teradek will focus on film and television applications.
