If software were astronomy, you'd have little difficulty identifying the brightest star on the Taiwanese horizon. In fact, at an exhibition like CeBIT, in and among a Milky Way of local hardware manufacturers you hardly need a telescope to find it either.
Ulead is, after all, a company that has within a decade been recognized and respected internationally for original, user friendly and affordable graphics software.
No where more so than in Germany, where discerning users with a bias toward quality and performance are among Ulead's staunchest followers.
So its not surprising that FAST, one of Germany's top video hardware makers, will supply the AV and DV drivers for two of Ulead's starring products -- the newly released MediaStudio Pro 6.0 and a new version of its top-selling 3D tilting software, Cool 3D Version 3.
"This is great news for Ulead, for FAST and most of all for our large following of Ulead graphics software users here in Germany" said Ulead International Marketing Director Dwight Jurling.
"We've always had a big and loyal following in Europe," he said, "and our products, have always flown well in the jetstream of the major graphics card markers, FAST and MIRO."
At the same time, Ulead announced the release of its Media Studio Pro 6.0, the latest version of its professional video editor.
The new version incorporates the widest support in the industry for the "in technologies," such as DV IEEE-1394 (iLink/Firewire) MPEG-2 and MP3 audio.
But importantly, Jurling said, it offered low-cost hardware manufacturers the most advanced editing capabilities in a mature editing environment.
In the past, he explained, editing of complex video formats such as DV (digital video) and MPEG-2 had been almost the exclusive domain of expensive hardware and dedicated systems.
But MediaStudio Pro 6.0 brings a new democracy to the graphics industry by offering professional and hobbyist alike one of the most complete and price friendly products supporting more formats than any other video editing software on the market today.
"A revolutionary development" said Jurling, "made possible through integrating Ligos Corp-oration's GoMotion technology."
For audio file support, Media-Studio Pro 6.0 can now also capture popular MP3 audio files that can be used for background music or sound effects, allowing for more flexibility in editing and the download of a wide selection of music from the Web.
COOL 3D Version 3.0, with its new features and functionality, is also raising eyebrows among afficianados in the growing community of Video and Web designing professionals.
Supporting both AVI and QuickTime formats with enhanced save features for video output, the new COOL 3D hots up Web animation design process together with GIF animation optimization features to shrink file sizes for faster Web viewing.
Add to all this exclusive special effects like Explosion, Fire, Bend and Twist -- long COOL 3D hallmarks -- Ulead has a product set to keep a pole position in video and Internet software stakes for a long time to come.
BYPASSING CHINA TARIFFS: In the first five months of this year, Foxconn sent US$4.4bn of iPhones to the US from India, compared with US$3.7bn in the whole of last year Nearly all the iPhones exported by Foxconn Technology Group (富士康科技集團) from India went to the US between March and last month, customs data showed, far above last year’s average of 50 percent and a clear sign of Apple Inc’s efforts to bypass high US tariffs imposed on China. The numbers, being reported by Reuters for the first time, show that Apple has realigned its India exports to almost exclusively serve the US market, when previously the devices were more widely distributed to nations including the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. During March to last month, Foxconn, known as Hon Hai Precision Industry
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) and the University of Tokyo (UTokyo) yesterday announced the launch of the TSMC-UTokyo Lab to promote advanced semiconductor research, education and talent development. The lab is TSMC’s first laboratory collaboration with a university outside Taiwan, the company said in a statement. The lab would leverage “the extensive knowledge, experience, and creativity” of both institutions, the company said. It is located in the Asano Section of UTokyo’s Hongo, Tokyo, campus and would be managed by UTokyo faculty, guided by directors from UTokyo and TSMC, the company said.

Ashton Hall’s morning routine involves dunking his head in iced Saratoga Spring Water. For the company that sells the bottled water — Hall’s brand of choice for drinking, brushing his teeth and submerging himself — that is fantastic news. “We’re so thankful to this incredible fitness influencer called Ashton Hall,” Saratoga owner Primo Brands Corp’s CEO Robbert Rietbroek said on an earnings call after Hall’s morning routine video went viral. “He really helped put our brand on the map.” Primo Brands, which was not affiliated with Hall when he made his video, is among the increasing number of companies benefiting from influencer
Quanta Computer Inc (廣達) chairman Barry Lam (林百里) yesterday expressed a downbeat view about the prospects of humanoid robots, given high manufacturing costs and a lack of target customers. Despite rising demand and high expectations for humanoid robots, high research-and-development costs and uncertain profitability remain major concerns, Lam told reporters following the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting in Taoyuan. “Since it seems a bit unworthy to use such high-cost robots to do household chores, I believe robots designed for specific purposes would be more valuable and present a better business opportunity,” Lam said Instead of investing in humanoid robots, Quanta has opted to invest
