Elemental Technologies’ Badaboom™ is an easy to use, ultra-fast media converter that takes a  fundamentally different approach to video format conversion from other solutions. Instead of performing format conversion on the CPU, it harnesses massively parallel GPUs from NVIDIA. By using the power of the GPU*, the time required for video conversion is reduced. As an added bonus, your customers can still use their CPU for normal everyday tasks such as email and internet browsing.  Anyone can now painlessly convert video between formats including AVCHD, leaving more time to enjoy the video and eliminating the frustration of video conversion delays. The Badaboom™ Media Converter provides a fast and simple to use tool for media conversion.

Offer your customers a high-quality, ultra-fast media transcoding solution that leverages NVIDIA CUDA technology to tap into the processing horsepower of NVIDIA GeForce GPUs!
