Around the middle of the month of December Elemental will present an updated version, release 1.1 of its software Badaboom, well known to fans of video cards as possible to exploit a NVIDIA GeForce video card with support Cuda to perform conversion of video streams.

Currently this software supports MPEG2 video formats, AVCHD, H.264, HDV and RAW, providing an opportunity to have the output of video suitable for use with portable devices or consoles.

1920x1080 (1080p) output: The largest ATSC standard video resolution now available output is an option, which provides great video quality when combined with Main profile.
