Thank you to everyone that visited Vinpower’s booth at the 2019 CES trade show. Once again, Vinpower received great feedback from the show floor and took a number of meetings with valued customers and vendors alike. This year, we highlighted a number of key products and offerings, like the enhanced iXflash Apple iPhone/iPad flash drive, traditional USB flash media, top grade Piodata and Optiarc SSD drives, and our newest offering the authentic ACARD line of duplication controllers. In addition, we showcased examples of our publishing and duplication hardware along with our proprietary line of optical discs and drives.

The enhanced iXflash offers these unique features that separate it from the competition:

• Support READ ONLY function to protect against threats, such as accidentally deleting or altering content on the drive as well as preventing viruses if in contact with an infected computer

• Mobile Work Station by supporting a wide range of file formats, including WORD, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, as well as supports uncompressing ZIP, RAR and 7z, to name a few.

• Traveling Entertainment Center, that supports nearly all media formats, including MP3/MP4/FLAC 1080p/4K etc. so that you can enjoy your movies and music anywhere without needing internet access

• True photo backup, that doesn’t matter if it’s standard photos, live photos or even photos stored on iCloud, the iXflash APP will make an exact backup for you, including matching the actual time and location tags!

• Live Recording Plus, allows you to records video or photos directly to the iXflash drive without using any of your iphone/ipad’s internal memory, not even as a buffer like competing devices!!

The Piodata and Optiarc SSD line will provide 100% certified top performing SSD drives that are suitable for all working environments. Never again will you have to sorry whether your hard drive has the speed, reliability, or longevity to hold your most important and critical content today and well into the future.

Plus, with Vinpower acquiring the ACARD duplication elements, it will allow us to service markets we never had access to as well as enhance our current duplication offerings for new and improved applications in the future.

At one time, ACARD was the biggest name and leader in terms of global sales for duplication controllers. They had a huge advantage in their ownership and ability to develop and produce their own IC chips with their proprietary software installed. In owning the design and production of their own IC chips, made the cost of their controllers nearly half of everyone else’s, giving them a significant price advantage. That was a key reason that ACARD was able to become the leader in controller sales. However, due to mismanagement and poor decisions, the company eventually fell into financial disarray and ceased operation.

Vinpower, being the leading supplier of duplication hardware, including our own proprietary controllers, saw a great opportunity to enhance our own product offering as well as improve our future product lines by acquiring the full line of ACARD’s duplication technology. Throughout and lengthy and often tenuous negotiations, Vinpower finalized the acquisition of ACARD’s duplication product and technology division the end of 2018, just in time to make the announcement of the acquisition during the 2019 CES tradeshow in Las Vegas. With ACARD’s IC technology, Vinpower will be able to both offer future improvements and lower costs for our duplication product lines as well as new products that were previously too costly to develop.

For those of you that were able to visit with us and see the new ACARD product offerings first hand, I hope you were impressed by the future product map for Vinpower through the blended technology. For those who were not able to attend CES, we look forward to speaking with you in the near future to update you about our plans and the offerings that may be beneficial to both of us.

Imagine a scenario where you want to film an event, maybe your child’s 1st recital or youth sports league, and you realize you have very little memory left on your iPhone or iPad with which to record with. You don’t want to have to frantically delete content on your iPhone/iPad to free up space, possibly deleting something you didn’t intend to or hope that someone else in the audience will record the event and share it with you. You want to be able to record exactly what you want for as long as you want.

That’s where the iXflash is your perfect accessory for your iPhone or iPad. The iXflash with its Live Recording Plus (LRP) feature allows you to record live video or take photos that are stored directly onto the iXflash’s internal memory without using any memory from the iPhone/iPad you’re filming with. No matter how little memory you have left on your iPhone/iPad, as long as there’s available memory on the iXflash then you don’t have to miss recording any important events. Since the iXflash comes in 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB storage sizes, you should always have plenty of space to record life’s previous moments.

Not only can you record events without worrying about having enough memory, but you can also pause and resume filming so that you can maintain 1 continuous video rather than constantly starting and stopping, which causes you to have lots of smaller videos creating a headache of having to edit them together or show lots of separate videos. On top of that, you can easily switch between the front and rear cameras.

The iXflash LRP feature opens up a world of possibilities and even more that I haven’t touched on. To fully understand the full benefits of the iXflash, visit our website, www.piodata.com or www.vinpowerdigital.com, plus you can speak with an authorized Vinpower representative near you.
