titleThe Name Visere Captura

Visere Captura's name is derived from Latin: ”Visere” means ”to look at,” and ”Captura” means ”to capture,” thus Visere Captura translates to ”capture what you are looking at.”

History

Visere Captura has a rich history in software development. Initially developed by DMMD in 2002 as a versatile image viewer and editor named Visere, it later evolved into White Cap, an FDA-approved medical image X-ray processing software. In 2013, it transformed into Iconasys’ Shutter Stream software. Finally, in 2024, it became the current Visere Captura software, maintaining the original Visere name but adding the name Captura to highlight the integration of the camera controls.

Comparison with Shutter Stream

If you are an existing Iconasys customer, you might be considering whether upgrading to Visere Captura is worthwhile. Here are some reasons we believe it is, together with the table below showing feature comparisons between the two software packages:

  • DMMD (a Pictomic sister mother company) is the original development team behind Iconasys' Shutter Stream for Iconasys.
  • Due to differing visions for Iconasys' future, the technical team separated from Iconasys in April 2024 and formed Pictomic.
  • Our Pictomic team is passionate about the technology. We are experts in image and signal processing, hardware, and software, and are driven by our love for innovation.
  • We are actively developing Visere Captura, focusing on incorporating more artificial intelligence algorithms and expanding hardware support.
  • With an upgrade to Visere Captura, Pictomic will honor any remaining Iconasys warranties.
