Ultimatte provides real-time hardware and computer software products, allowing industry specialists the ability to create completely seamless film and broadcast scenes that would otherwise be too dangerous, impossible or impractical. Paul Vlahos realized the potential of taking the technologies he helped to develop at Ultimatte and enhance them for the digital and e-commerce age. His vision energized key associates at Ultimatte to join him in the establishment of iMatte, Inc. in 2000 to undertake this new direction. iMatte is developing presentation productions that easily enable the presenter to interact directly with the audience and create more compelling presentations.  Academy Award of Merit (Statuette) 1994: For the conception and development of the Ultimatte Electronic Blue Screen Compositing Process.
