Development Capabilities

We have accumulated a wide variety of imaging technologies by meeting the stringent high requirements of vertical markets such as Healthcare, Creative Work, and V&S (Vertical &Specific) based on developments incorporated in monitors for the B&P (Business & Plus) market. For the key display devices in monitor development, we conduct device development with a strong focus on display performance in partnership with each device manufacturer. Furthermore, by integrating visual optimization technologies using our proprietary algorithms, we achieve overwhelming differentiation in all markets, including B&P, Healthcare, Creative Work, and V&S. In response to specific applications and demands requiring ultra-reliability, such as those for defense applications, we develop and produce specialized products in-house using our own technology and production methods, as well as specialized processing for display devices. In addition, we develop computing technology that implements our proprietary algorithms on ASICs, FPGAs, and state-of-the-art GPUs to realize application-specific processing; develop video codecs that enable reliable video transmission in mission-critical markets that require high reliability; and develop technologies that reduce environmental impact, such as the use of recycled materials, that contribute to sustainability. Through these efforts, we produce high-quality, high-reliability imaging hardware for the entire range of imaging-related activities, including shooting, recording, distribution, and display.

Software technology plays a major role in building the imaging chain of “shooting, recording, distribution, and display” by interconnecting imaging hardware. There is a wide range of　software available, including application software that enables centralized management of images flowing through the imaging chain, application software that enables quality and asset management of imaging hardware, network distribution technology that enables reliable distribution of images, and cyber security technology that enables safe operation of various devices and systems. Further expansion of its use will be required in the future. In addition, the range of utilization of images is expanding, including telemedicine, remote control, and working from home, making it increasingly important. By integrating “high-quality, highly reliable” imaging hardware and the software that links them together, we will further strengthen the imaging chain that only we can provide, making the utilization of images more convenient and easier.
