History
Digital Vision was founded in 1988 by Peter Weiss, Björn Christensson and Håkan Almer. This team had previously worked together at Swedish Telecom’s R&D labs where they worked on video compression algorithms and related technologies. They recognized the need for a high quality grain and noise reducer for telecine applications in video post-production; at the time, telecines produced substantial amounts of video noise, which caused enormous problems for broadcasters and movie studios. The team reviewed the noise reducers then on the market and decided to strike off on their own to develop a high quality, motion-compensated and motion-adaptive noise reducer for telecine applications. They were successful in this and one of their first customers was Swedish Telecom, where those original systems are still in use.
The company’s R&D group has developed successive generations of its popular DVNR image processing systems since that time, including automatic, real-time film dirt and scratch removal systems and extremely efficient image compression systems. The company’s current image processing products span the range of standard definition video to very high resolution data.
In 1992, Digital Vision won an Emmy™ Award from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for its motion compensation technology. Digital Vision’s BitPack video authoring system won the Peter Wayne Award from the International Association of Broadcast Manufacturers (IABM) in 1996. The Swedish Trade Council recognized Digital Vision as one of Sweden’s outstanding exporter companies in 1998, whilst the European Commission awarded the company with the prestigious European IT Prize in 1997 and 1998 for the BitPack video authoring system.
In 2006, Digital Vision Optics (DVO) Image Processing Software won the Hollywood Post Alliance Award for Engineering Excellence.
In 2005, Digital Vision acquired Nucoda Ltd of London, England and has now integrated Nucoda’s technology into its own product offering. The Nucoda systems allow movie studios and their primary vendors to efficiently process and enhance motion images, including feature films, commercials and television programs, at very high resolutions using general purpose computer platforms.
Digital Vision is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden and operates three wholly owned subsidiaries in Los Angeles, London and Hong Kong. The company maintains its global presence through a network of qualified distributors. Digital Vision is listed on the Stockholm stock exchange.
