admin

NEW YORK, Nov. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ —

Booming Animation Company Deploys AdderLink Infinity – IP based KVM  

Adder Technology, the industry leader in high performance keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) products, today announced that Illumination Entertainment has deployed the AdderLink Infinity to help address their increase in production due in part to the enormous success of the Despicable Me franchise.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140402/678912 )

Illumination Entertainment needed to rapidly expand its production capacity, which created the need for shared resources at the company. Additional edit bays came online, and there was a greater need for editors to be able to quickly swap in and out of the review suite for dailies. After researching the KVM options available on the market to address their problem, Illumination Entertainment looked to Adder to address their connectivity challenges.

“Using the AdderLink Infinity products, our editors are now able to setup for dailies or a review session on their Avid systems in their edit bay and then bring up that system in the review suite without interrupting any other sessions,” said Joe Stevano, Illumination Entertainment, IT director. “Adding Adder’s digital KVM switching solution to our editorial infrastructure has given us increased flexibility in working on multiple productions.”

“The post production environment has always been an ideal environment for the deployment of our IP-based high performance KVM solutions,” said Tim Conway, vice president, Adder Corp. “We are pleased to have worked with the Illumination Entertainment team and succeeded in addressing their workflow challenges.  The AdderLink Infinity solution also positions the company for future scalability and upgradability in production capacity.”

Adder Technology 

Adder Technology is the leading developer and thought leader in connectivity solutions. Adder’s media networks, extenders and keyboard, video and mouse switch solutions enable the control and distribution of IT systems around the world. The company distributes its products in more than 60 countries through a network of distributors, resellers and OEMs. Adder also has local offices around the world.

Illumination Entertainment  

Illumination Entertainment, founded by Chris Meledandri in 2007, is one of the entertainment industry’s leading producers of all-audience event films.  In July 2010, Illumination, which has an exclusive financing and distribution partnership with Universal Pictures, released its first film, Despicable Me, starring Steve Carell, which earned more than $540 million worldwide and launched a beloved global franchise.  With the success of 2011’s Hop, 2012’s Dr. Seuss‘ The Lorax and 2013’s juggernaut Despicable Me 2– the highest-grossing first-run film in Universal’s history and the year’s third-highest-grossing film at the worldwide box office – Illumination’s films have made almost $2 billion. Universal’s and Illumination’s next film, Minions, a spin-off of the phenomenally successful Despicable Me series – starring Academy Award® winner Sandra Bullock and Jon Hamm – arrives in theaters on July 10, 2015.  Fans may also experience Minion Mayhem in 3D with the Ultra-HD movie motion simulator adventure at Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood.

2014 Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific Mobile Health & Wellness Tracking New Product Innovation Award Presented to Zensorium

admin

SINGAPORE, Nov. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Zensorium was honoured with the 2014 Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific Mobile Health & Wellness Tracking New Product Innovation Award at the 2014 Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific Best Practices Awards held on the 16th of October at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Singapore.

This Frost & Sullivan New Product Innovation Award is presented each year to the company that has demonstrated a keen understanding of consumer needs and successfully introduced one or more high quality products that has had a positive impact on the market. 

With an increasing strong interest in healthy lifestyle and overall fitness among the public, there is a demand for complementary products that are technology focused and well-positioned to meet the needs of the consumers.

“Health and fitness monitoring devices have become very popular in the last 2 years. However, a key challenge faced by technology providers is to come up with a device that is stylish, user-friendly and offers multi-parameter sensing capabilities with minimal maintenance requirements. Singapore start-up, Zensorium, has been able to address the aforementioned challenges through its product, Tinke, which is a fitness and wellness tracking device that perfectly fits customer needs,” said Wai Fun Kee, Principal Consultant, Technical Insights, Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific.

Smartphone accessories are becoming a key attractive market for both users and developers alike, with health and wellness tracking products constituting a major part of it. However, most fitness tracking products are either difficult to use or are not able to provide accurate multi-key-parameter sensing capabilities. Zensorium has been able to effectively address these challenges with Tinke, a product that is highly likely to be accepted by users around the world for tracking their health and fitness simply and effectively.

“Tinke is the optimal solution for customers seeking an elegant and portable device for fitness and health monitoring applications. The stylish device is paired with a smartphone app that allows the user to understand two distinct factors: Vita index and Zen index. The Vita index gives an indication of fitness by integrating data from an individual’s respiratory rate, heart rate, and blood oxygen level. The Zen index provides an indication of the person’s level of relaxation from an individual’s heart rate variability. Monitoring these parameters helps individuals manage daily activities including workouts more effectively,” Kee added.

With top features including the customization options, stylish design, attractive price and reliability matched by positive customer feedback, Tinke has become a leading contender in the health and wellness equipment industry.

“Zensorium has sold Tinke to customers in over 30 countries, which testifies the high customer acceptance of the product. With its strong overall performance, Zensorium’s Tinke has earned Frost & Sullivan’s 2014 Asia Pacific New Product Innovation Award in Mobile Health and Wellness Tracking,” Kee concluded.

The 2014 Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific Best Practices Awards recognize companies across industries commending their diligence, commitment, and innovative business strategies required to advance in the global marketplace.

Frost & Sullivan identifies the outstanding industry achievements in the past year by companies in the local and regional markets through its in-depth analysis and coverage of these industries. In keeping with Frost & Sullivan’s time-honoured commitment in pursuit of excellence and innovation, the awards offered are carefully reviewed and evaluated to reflect the current market landscape and include new emerging sectors.

Frost & Sullivan: 4-D Printing to Usher in Age of Low-Labor, Fast-Paced Product Manufacturing

admin

— The aerospace, defense, automotive and healthcare industries will lead in the adoption of this technology

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Aug. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Four-dimensional (4-D) printing develops materials that alter their properties and behaviors based on external stimuli such as changes in temperature. This advanced technology is poised to have a disruptive effect in multiple industries. In the near future, 4-D printing will revolutionize the business landscape by printing objects ranging from human organs to parts used in the aerospace and automotive sectors.

Frost & Sullivan

Frost & Sullivan

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Advances in 4-D Printing, expects the aerospace, defense, automotive and healthcare industries to be the first to adopt 4-D printing technology after its commercialization. Other industries will follow suit as the technology matures.

For complimentary access to more information on this research, please visit: http://bit.ly/1z2zgxs.

“4-D printing, an extension of three-dimensional printing, is superior to conventional manufacturing techniques in terms of performance, efficiency and quality, and can create new products with increased capabilities,” noted Technical Insights Research Analyst Jithendranath Rabindranath. “Unlike conventional manufacturing techniques, it facilitates self-assembly of materials required to manufacture parts and products, thereby speeding up the process and reducing the need for labor.”

Much work remains for market participants, as 4-D printing technology is in an early stage of development. Rapid prototyping technology has not yet been widely tested for large-scale applications and physical object manufacturing, and thus the validity of 4-D printing technology for such implementation scenarios has not been clearly demonstrated.

As with any new technology, the initial implementation cost of 4-D printing is an adoption hurdle. In cases where companies are willing to make this investment, product prices tend to be high in order to recover costs incurred and maintain profitability levels in the face of modest production volumes.

“After a few years of mass commercialization, the cost of employing 4-D printing technology will decrease, prompting several companies across a wide range of industries to integrate this technology into their manufacturing systems,” stated Rabindranath. “Uptake will also strengthen due to the positive funding environment, which encourages confederations, research laboratories, universities, startups and big market participants especially in North America to invest in R&D.”

Advances in 4-D Printing, a part of the Technical Insights (http://www.technicalinsights.frost.com) subscription, offers insights on nine dimensions of 4-D printing technology: year of impact, market potential, global footprint, IP activity, funding, breadth of industries, impact on megatrend, potential points of convergence, and size of the innovation ecosystem. Further, this research service includes detailed technology analysis and industry trends evaluated following extensive interviews with market participants.

Technical Insights is an international technology analysis business that produces a variety of technical news alerts, newsletters, and research services.

admin

HONG KONG, July 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Design to Innovation (DTOI) today announced it is launching an Indiegogo (#indiegogo) campaign to help complete the development of Zcan Wireless, the world’s first wireless scanner mouse.

Features:

  • Scan to Table – Zcan supports powerful scanning and editing features which can convert an entire table into one single sheet in Excel.
  • Scan to Text – Use Zcan to edit scanned text, which is much faster than typing it entirely from scratch.
  • Break Down Language Barrier – Zcan supports over 199 OCR (Optical Character Recognition) languages. With an Internet connection to Google Translate, drag the scanned paragraph into the dialogue box where it is then translated into a different language instantly. It even reads you the paragraph.
  • Evernote – Zcan helps to track things like notes, letters or any important notices and store them in Evernote with just one click.
  • Photos – Zcan allows users to share any scans with family or friends instantly through Facebook, Twitter, Flickr or email.
