Fastvideo

What Fastvideo does

Fastvideo is a B2B software vendor that develops high-performance, GPU-accelerated image and video processing software built on NVIDIA's CUDA parallel computing platform. Its core technology spans image signal processing algorithms — including JPEG and JPEG2000 encode/decode, demosaicing, denoising, tone mapping, color correction, resizing, and sharpening — which the company claims are the fastest GPU implementations on the market, delivering 10–30x speedups over CPU-based alternatives. One cited outcome is processing a 28,800-image RAW DNG sequence in under 10 minutes, versus over 10 hours in Lightroom.

Its product portfolio centers on the Fastvideo Image & Video Processing SDK and is supplemented by specialized modules: a Fast JPEG Codec, a JPEG2000 codec, a GPU Debayer/demosaicing module, a RawZipper RAW Bayer codec, an Adaptive Local Tonemapper for HDR imaging, a Jetson Orin ISP SDK for embedded edge platforms, a FastVCR application purpose-built for XIMEA industrial cameras, and the Fast CinemaDNG Processor end-user application for cinema post-production.

The company operates a consultative B2B sales motion targeting enterprise integrators across machine vision, digital cinema, medical imaging, broadcasting, surveillance, and aerospace. Revenue derives from licensing its SDK technology and from custom software design and consulting services; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Engagements run through a structured workflow (inquiry, DEMO SDK, signed NDA, specification, SLA-bearing quotation, delivery, and ongoing maintenance), and distribution spans an in-house enterprise sales team plus a partner network of OEMs, System Builders, Integrators, Distributors, Resellers, and Agents. Publicly named customers include Infinite Realities (UK), MRTech (Slovakia), and XIMEA (Germany). Fastvideo is privately held with a reported 1–10 person headcount, headquartered in Dubna, Russian Federation, and operating through the fastcompression.com domain.

Partnerships

One partnership is on record.

• XIMEAcoreTechnology or IntegrationXIMEA manufactures high-speed industrial cameras with USB3 and PCI Express interfaces. Fastvideo developed FastVCR software specifically for XIMEA cameras, providing GPU-based image processing and camera control for real-time, low-latency imaging. The partnership combines XIMEA's hardware with Fastvideo's GPU SDK for debayering, denoising, color grading, tonemapping, and JPEG/JPEG2000 codecs.

Broad incumbents

• Cognex Corporation: Cognex is a large, established machine vision and industrial barcode reading vendor with its own image processing software, competing with Fastvideo indirectly in industrial machine vision applications.
• Teledyne FLIR: Teledyne FLIR supplies industrial and thermal imaging cameras with associated software, competing in the same machine vision, surveillance, and aerospace imaging markets Fastvideo serves.
• Keyence Corporation: Keyence offers machine vision systems with built-in high-speed image processing for factory automation, representing a broader incumbent competing for the same industrial inspection budgets as Fastvideo-powered systems.
• NVIDIA (CUDA / NPP / Jetson): NVIDIA Performance Primitives (NPP), cuDNN, and Jetson ISP are the underlying GPU primitives and SDKs against which Fastvideo explicitly benchmarks itself; they set the baseline performance and pricing for GPU image processing.

Direct peers

• MVTec Software: MVTec's HALCON and MERLIC are machine vision software SDKs sold to industrial OEMs and system integrators, directly comparable to Fastvideo's SDK business model and target customers in machine vision and factory automation.
• Kakadu Software: Kakadu is a leading commercial JPEG2000 codec SDK used in professional imaging, directly comparable to Fastvideo's GPU JPEG2000 codec on performance and developer licensing terms.
• LEADTOOLS: LEADTOOLS sells a comprehensive image processing and codec SDK (JPEG, JPEG2000, document/medical imaging) to enterprise developers, competing with Fastvideo on codec performance and developer-facing SDK licensing.
• XIMEA: XIMEA is both a partner and adjacent player: it makes high-speed industrial cameras and resells/distributes Fastvideo's FastVCR software, so it is a directly comparable imaging-stack provider to Fastvideo's OEM customers.

Emerging players

• OpenCV: OpenCV is the dominant open-source computer vision and image processing library and a free alternative to Fastvideo's SDK for many developers, with growing GPU acceleration that competes on cost.
• Basler AG: Basler manufactures industrial cameras and increasingly bundles its own image processing software and pylon SDK, partially overlapping with Fastvideo's role as an embedded ISP layer for camera OEMs like XIMEA.
