SAN MATEO, Calif. (PRWEB)
July 26, 2022

Today,Xfuse. LLC, a developer of customizable imaging and video technology, entered the race to develop the next generation of artificial intelligence vision technologies. The Xfuse proprietary high-performance Image Signal Processing (ISP) technology supports multiple different sensor types simultaneously to fuse data-rich HDR video in real-time with minimal latency. These location-aware data streaming technologies from the Xfuse Phoenix HDR ISP offer both in-house and independent engineers complete control over the critical imaging pipeline necessary to rapidly advance self-aware robotics, autonomous guided vehicles, machine vision, and more.

To make the advancements necessary for full-autonomous vehicles to safely navigate roads, developers require higher levels of accuracy and reduction of errors in the complex data streaming from multiple sensors. The Xfuse team has more than seven years of expertise in developing the real-time ISPs for Multi-Processor System on Chip (MPSoC) devices, multi-sensor guidance modules, and their necessary software tools. The Xfuse team’s flagship offering, the Phoenix HDR ISP, will enable developers to fuse video data with output from multiple non-image sensors like thermal, GPS, Lidar, radar, and gyroscope, as well as other Xfuse software and tools.

“Our proprietary ISP offers engineers full control over the complete imaging pipeline to fuse data streaming from an array of imaging and non-imaging sensors in real-time,” said Alfred Zee, President, and CEO of Xfuse, LLC. “The market for autonomous mobility of all types is currently dominated by a few very large companies and is expected to grow to $675B by 2030. By offering our technology to both in-house development teams and independent developers, we are helping them streamline their time to market and lowering development costs for the next generation of autonomous vision applications.”

Flagship Phoenix HDR ISP

The Xfuse Phoenix HDR ISP is a fully programmable ISP delivering the flexibility developers need to drive the next generation of autonomous machine vision technologies. Customizable to each developer’s individual needs, Phoenix can process imaging and non-imaging data from numerous sensors regardless of brand, resolution, or color filter array (CFA). Ideal for developers seeking ultra-fast response times in real-time HDR video signals, Phoenix processes video with extremely low latency and no external DRAM or frame buffers. The ISP runs exclusively in the FPGA fabric to free on-chip CPU and GPU computing for improved AI functionality. The Phoenix ISP will be rolled out to developer platforms soon.

Customers can easily package their Flipdeck content to present with high impact, tell effective stories, customize information to a specific audience, grab viewer attention with video, and more.

LOS GATOS, Calif. (PRWEB)
July 14, 2022

Silicon Valley-based Flipdeck® announced today that the Flipdeck Summer 2022 release is available now.

“The Summer ’22 release represents a significantly enhanced platform for Flipdeck customers,” said Lee Mayfield, President of Presentek, the creator of Flipdeck. “We are introducing Flipdeck Full View Analytics — so our customers can really know what’s working, what’s not, and who the power users and innovators are. With this knowledge, users get more effective, content becomes more relevant, and wasted motion is eliminated.”

“We’re also thrilled to announce enhanced visual impact for Flipdeck Collections,” said Mayfield. “Customers can easily package their Flipdeck content to present with high impact, tell effective stories, customize information to a specific audience, grab viewer attention with video, and more.”

New in Flipdeck’s Summer 2022 Release

• Flipdeck Full View Analytics (with content metrics and user metrics)
• Enhanced card collections (to present with high impact)
• Reimagined visual decks interface
• Searchable cards and decks
• Faster editing and sharing of content

The Summer ’22 release marks the second generation of Flipdeck, launched in 2017. The Flipdeck SaaS platform enables users to organize and deliver their digital content quickly in a professional, easy-to-consume digital format. One of the ways in which Flipdeck is unique is that users don’t have to move their content. It can remain wherever it lives — whether that’s a website, cloud storage account, social media feed, video streaming service, or any location with an accessible link. By organizing links to online content on visual Flipdeck cards, contained in logical decks, users can quickly find, access, and share content with those who need it.

“This version of Flipdeck is a huge step forward in user experience. Flipdeck is already known for being a visual tool, but this release is simply beautiful and incredibly easy to use,” said Mayfield. “Our customers’ top requested capabilities are a part of this release. We’ve received great feedback from Flipdeck users who represent marketing departments, sales teams, independent reps, and innovative business services professionals.”

Jonathan B. Smith, a business strategist and EXPERT EOS® IMPLEMENTER said, “I work with progressive companies in the scale-up phase and deal with highly capable individuals, and I’m able to quickly select the information I want to deliver from the inventory of Flipdeck Cards I created. My busy clients get a tailored collection of links to my content that’s professionally presented and visual. I’ve been able to use Flipdeck to organize my presentation of content to focus my clients’ attention where I need it to be, saving everyone time. Chances are pretty good that I have a Flipdeck card that addresses most topics that come up in client conversation, and I can just Flip them a Link.”

Details of Key Enhancements (Flipdeck Summer ’22 Release):

Next gen analytics:

This enhancement makes it possible to see which users are active, what content they’re using, which content is getting engagement, and what’s driving that engagement. View analytics for each user and for each Flipdeck card — including click & send information.

Enhanced card collections:

Create a visual landing page for content with Flipdeck Collections. Users can use the collections feature to present with high impact, customize content to a specific audience or organization, add a video intro, and more. Collections can now be viewed in a sortable, visual index, and users can also use streamlined creation and editing tools.

Interface improvements:

The re-imagined interface provides an even more visual and modern look and feel for faster and easier navigation.

Searchable cards and decks:

The new Search function makes it possible to find word/phrase matches in card and deck titles, content, and links — so users can quickly locate the exact information and resources they need.

Card enhancements:

Users can now view all cards in a deck at once without needing to scroll. Selected cards can now be stored in a visual queue until users are ready to send them or ready to create a collection.

Flexible card editing:

Cards can now be tailored to the user’s exact needs with the ability to customizable labels, reorder links, and move sections around.

Quality-of-life improvements:

Other capabilities added in this release include a hidden “Notes Layer” on the back of cards, the ability to favorite cards, and more.
