What is Visere Captura's history and how is it different from Iconasys' Shutter Stream? Why should I consider upgrading?

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.”

Please see the Release Notes KB for the latest Visere Captura development updates.

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.
