Cinedubs is an application for movie lovers available in your preferred language. This application is the invention of two brothers; named Vineet Kashyap and Aditya Kashyap. It is a privately held company which was founded in the year 2020.
Germination of Cinedubs
The media industry accompanying movies is mostly dominated by the language of Hindi but the recent changing trends are more inclined towards the South Indian cinema as well. The interests of the movie buffs are always diversified and all the available movies are not necessarily dubbed in all the languages.
This language issue was faced by one of the co-founders and MD Aditya Kashyap when in Paris. All the available movies and shows were in French language when he went to watch Mission Impossible. So, he came up with a great language solution which led to the foundation of Cinedubs.
Cinedubs – Multilingual Sound Solution
The Cinedubs application works on AI machine learning technology. When this application is installed on your smartphone, it just allows you to download the soundtrack before entering the theatre. It downloads using the Digital Rights Management (DRM) and the AI mechanism of the application automatically synchronizes the sound being played in the theatre. It uses the 3D structure technology which is classified frequency indexing (CFI) method.
This helps in recording the first five seconds of the audio version detected from the microphone of your mobile from the time-lapse of the film. When you are inside the theatre, the movie scene or the soundtrack will start playing automatically by syncing with the use of AI technology and is heard with the help of your headphones. It is a great language solution for people whenever present anywhere in the world but can only be used when watching on OTT platforms.
It offers the 3D quality of the said soundtrack even through your headphones. Even the dubbed soundtracks and movies available in different languages are distributed and hosted with this.
