What is Visere Captura's history and how is it different from Iconasys' Shutter Stream?
Why should I consider upgrading?
The Name Visere Captura
Visere Captura' 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.
- Originally 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, yet again, into Iconasys’ Shutter Stream software.
- Finally, in 2024, it evolved into the current Visere Captura software. It maintains the original Visere name, but added the capturing description, since integrating camera controls.
Comparison with Shutter Stream
If you are an existing Iconasys customer, you may wonder whether or not it's worth upgrading to Visere Captura. Here are some reasons we believe an upgrade is worth it:
- Pictomic (and DMMD) is the development team that originally developed Shutter Stream for Iconasys.
- Due to differing visions of the future of Iconasys, the technical team separated from Iconasys at the beginning of April 2024, forming Pictomic.
- Our Pictomic team is passionate about the technology. We are image and signal processing, hardware and software experts who are in it for our love of the technology.
- Our Pictomic team is actively pursuing the development of Visere Captura and are laser focused on adding more artificial intelligence algorithms and hardware support.
- With an upgrade to Visere Captura, Pictomic will honor any and all remaining Iconasys warranties.
In conclusion, it is up to you to decide whether or not an upgrade from Shutter Stream to Visere Captuar is worth it.
