ikan Corporation Acquires Cinemage Product Line from Cine-tal Systems, Inc.

“This is a great opportunity for ikan to expand its product offering’, said Kan Yeung, CEO of ikan Corporation. “The Cinemáge product line has a reputation for unmatched color accuracy and quality.’

ikan’s acquisition of the Cinemáge product line will provide the opportunity to expand their product offerings to include Cinemáge reference grade monitoring for color critical applications in production and post-production.

“We will invest in and expand this product line while continuing to procure and manufacture all Cinemage related materials within the domestic U.S., providing Cinemáge customers with the same quality and innovation they are accustomed to’, said Ross Grasse, Head of International Sales for the Cinemáge product line.

Current ikan users will benefit from the acquisition of the Cinemáge line, as well. “Along with the Cinemáge product line’, said Barry Garcia, Head of Cinemáge Product Development, “ikan acquired the capabilities and technologies that drive Cinemáge professional reference monitors with the intent to enhance the quality and performance of future ikan products.’

Cine-tal Systems, Inc. will focus on the cineSpace and DAVIO products that are used for color management in Production, VFX, Post Production, Animation and Gaming.  “We have many exciting plans in the works for cineSpace and DAVIO’ said Robert Carroll, President of Cine-tal. “By selling the Cinemáge product line to ikan we are able to commit more resources on our other product lines’.
