Paralinx

What Paralinx does

Paralinx LLC is a Los Angeles-based, privately held cinema electronics company founded in 2012 that designs and sells wireless HD video transmission systems for professional film and television production. Its product lineup comprises uncompressed realtime wireless transmitters and receivers under the Ace, Array, Arrow, Arrow Plus, Arrow-X, Crossbow, Dart, Regulator, Shield, Tomahawk, and Tomahawk2 brands, supported by the Paralinx Manager firmware update tool for Windows and OS X. The stated value proposition is eliminating wired connections between cameras and on-set monitors, enabling director, client, and crew wireless monitoring during shoots.

Paralinx monetizes exclusively through hardware sales and does not disclose pricing publicly. Its go-to-market is a multi-channel structure rather than direct sales: a worldwide dealer network, the Creative Solutions Los Angeles (CSLA) showroom in Burbank, and the Teradek online storefront serve as primary purchase channels, with customer support routed through Teradek's ticketing infrastructure. Paralinx is positioned as part of the broader Creative Solutions family of cinema equipment brands, with Teradek functioning as the principal commercial and support channel.

The company's served customer segment is professional film and television production, and its reference base includes high-profile Hollywood productions such as The Revenant, The Martian, Game of Thrones, Lady Bird, and Creed. With 11-50 employees, a single domestic headquarters in Los Angeles, no disclosed venture funding, and no public revenue figures, Paralinx operates as a niche hardware specialist embedded within a larger cinema equipment ecosystem rather than as an independent high-growth technology company.
