History:
2001/2004 - Massimo Ballerini develops the new Tetrahedric Model
for 'quantization colors' and sets up RGB Channel srl together with a group
of Italian Angel Investors who support his research.
The Tetrahedric Model ( 'TM') dramatically improves the ability to work with
light and contrast, offers new image enhancement opportunities, and defines a new
relationship between black and white.
Essentially the TM completely redefines the quantization of colour.
The TM becomes the backbone of the LuminaXYS stand-alone software,
which was widely reviewed by the press and was downloaded by over 500.000
sector specialists in its beta phase.

2005 - An agreement is reached between RGB Channel srl, that owns the rights
to the Luminaxys technology, and a US listed company, Ipex Inc, to exchange
the Luminaxys technology against Ipex Shares.
The purpose of the agreement is to provide Ballerini with sufficient financial
and technical support to develop and patent:
A) new compressions codecs (for still images and movies) based on
Luminaxys technology and other;
and
B) a new Triplets Model to improve quality on vision and print.
2006 - due to Ipex Inc.'s failure to honour its obligations under the agreement,
RGB Channel rescinded the contract and signed a restitution agreement with Ipex.
RGB Channel took back the rights to its technology and returned Ipex shares and
money paid. (Rgbchannel srl, Massimo Ballerini (b.tech) and Emanuele Boni).
