When it comes to VIA VIA, do you still remember this company that had the ability to compete with Intel in the era of Pentium 4? VIA is different from Intel's push for Rambus memory and reposting DDR, thus gaining an absolute advantage in the memory market, and with the changes of the times, in today's Internet+ era. VIA has once again transformed and invested in integrated one-stop solutions such as embedded and Internet of Things.
Another gorgeous turn
Today, VIA Electronics (China) Co., Ltd. has become a global leader in highly integrated embedded platforms and system solutions, committed to the application development of M2M, Internet of Things and smart city fields, including multi-stitching TV walls, digital signage, industrial automation, medical automation, etc.
At the 11th InfoCommChina exhibition, VIA showed the industry its solutions in the field of video intelligence with brand new products. Including: the Internet of Things, one-stop solutions for intelligent monitoring and security, and corresponding VR products, they have really subverted people's perception of VIA's traditional embedded chips.
Expectations for the VR market
Why choose the VR market? In VIA's view, the AR and VR markets will actually be a potential market in the future. Hearing this, I can't help but think of the courage of VIA when she resolutely entered the DDR market. So, this time, can it succeed?
According to Digi-Capital, global investment in VR and Augmented Reality (AR) reached US$686 million in 2015. Tractica, a US technology industry survey agency, pointed out that the consumer market size of VR will quickly climb from US$108.8 million in 2014 to US$21.8 billion in 2020, with its main application in the gaming field.
, and Gartner also believes that by 2018, the shipment of VR devices will be accumulated to 25 million units. Among them, at the end of 2015, the shipments of VR devices were about 100,000 to 200,000 units in small quantities, but after the Oculus Rift was launched in the first quarter of 2016, the shipments were even more significant. Therefore, in 2016 alone, the shipments of VR devices may exceed 2 million units.
The optimistic view of VR prospects by the market research agency also makes all businesses more confident in investing in the VR industry. VIA is one of them.
has innovative capabilities in the combination of hardware and software for comprehensive research and development. It can provide customers with one-stop professional and technical service and technical support from planning and design, application installation, to put into operation, and provide customers with a powerful and very easy-to-operate solution to meet customer needs to the greatest extent.
In who believes that VR is not just the current trend, it will surely bring subversive changes to human life in the future, and its impact may be better than that of smartphones. As technology continues to mature, VR will be widely used in many industries related to people's livelihood in the future, such as entertainment, medical care, education, exhibitions, real estate, industrial design, tourism, etc. closely related to human life. For example, if training is used to simulate in some high-cost and high-risk industries and regions, it can not only greatly reduce the cost of training, but also effectively avoid possible mistakes and casualties in real-life training.
VIA will also launch corresponding product plans for the virtual reality field in the future. Previously, VIA launched an enterprise-level high-performance virtual reality service system, which is specially designed to support the functions and application needs of HTC VIVE in the perfect performance of the virtual reality field, while providing stable and long-term application support and solutions to the booming VR market customers.
entered the VR market from service
but did not agree with other emerging companies. For entering the VR industry, VIA adheres to a belief that it is to establish a service-oriented ecological chain. As who said, VR has taken shape and the gradual establishment of the industrial chain, and further strengthening the soundness of VR development are the current focus. Who thinks that VR's requirements for hardware technology will drive GPU technology to move forward? However, since each company has different strengths, it is even more necessary to establish cooperation between upstream and downstream manufacturers in order to understand the technical requirements and market needs of VR, and then develop products that meet market needs. A good VR product development requires the joint cooperation of upstream and downstream manufacturers to achieve twice the result with half the effort.It is not easy to establish an ecological chain with
. Therefore, as a hardware developer, VIA is working in depth with customers, and while integrating the concept of service into its products, it maintains close cooperation with VR content suppliers, and makes the industrial chain more complete.
both software and hard work to enter the era of IoT
In addition to VR products, VIA has a lot of solutions in IoT applications. It can be said that VIA, which has the strength of embedded chip design and research and development, has made corresponding preparations today, whether from chip host to system, or from hardware equipment to software development. It is VIA's philosophy to provide customers with all-round solutions of hardware and software.
For this reason, VIA IPC/RTSP video decoding wall solution, "flash butterfly" styling and splicing display and other latest designs are all the best weapons VIA has prepared for entering the market.
VIA IPC/RTSP video decoding wall-mounted solution solution relies on VIA's powerful high-definition IPC/RTSP decoding wall-mounted display capabilities and professional software and hardware integration capabilities, so that customers can easily realize the need to decode wall-mounted dozens of HD IPC and RTSP video streams at the same time without increasing additional decoding equipment expenditure. From planning and design to installation and construction, one-stop customized services can help customers control the overall cost effectively.
"Flash Butterfly" styling splicing display can be randomly spliced into various irregular shapes, and can achieve 360-degree rotary splicing. Its 4K ultra-high-definition decoding display capability can perfectly support various display units and create some extremely creative content. It can not only create a more creative display effect, attract the audience's attention at the first time, so as to achieve better publicity effects, but also improve the scope of space utilization, greatly expanding the application field of large-screen splicing. In large exhibitions, corporate publicity, stages, bars and other entertainment venues, users can use special effects and special shapes to achieve special effects and special effects.
