Mist technologies

Consumers today are asking for the best quality audio, either in the movie theater or at home. More and more households now have a Home Cinema system, in order to benefit from a true cinema experience in their living room. High Definition represents therefore a very rapidly growing market segment. In PCs the 5.1 sound cards are now becoming the standard. And the video games players are also looking for total immersion.

In the theater and at home, the audience wants an ultimate cinema experience. Today, the owner of even the most sophisticated Home Cinema system might get a better picture, but will still only hear a sound quality which is mono or stereo at best. MIST transforms mono and stereo sound into the real high definition surround sound 5.1, 6.1, 7.1 and above, exploiting the full capacity of the professional Movie Theater or the consumer’s Home Cinema. This solution, which is compatible with HD (High Definition) and SD (Standard Definition), will significantly increase the sound quality experience of any new release or catalogue content.

MIST Technologies is a start-up company in the quickly growing filed of new usages of high definition and 5.1sound. It has developed the only technology in the world that allows the transformation of any mono or stereo recording into a perfect multi track (5.1, 6.1, 7.1…) sound file.

The company, based in Paris and London, was created in 2003 by Nicolas André, co-founder de Musiwave. It currently employs over 20 people with a diversified background in media, entertainment and research and is continuing to expand. MIST won the first prize of the Annual Competition of the Ministry of Research. The research team works together with the best laboratories in the world, such as the ENST (l’Ecole Nationale Supérieure Des Télécoms) in France and the Technion Institute in Israel.

In a marketplace where the quality of the sound is still far of being at par with the equipment, MIST will deliver a sound that will allow taking advantage of the full capacity of a professional Movie Theater or a Home Cinema system.

Movie producers, content owners or publishers will use the MIST technology to create new versions of their content, allowing for the best Cinema and Home Cinema experience.
