About us
SoundGraph is a combination of words ‘Sound’ and ‘Graph’. As the name indicates, our expertise includes both audio and video system, SoundGraph has been providing our customers with digital multimedia related products and services since 2000.
The widespread of new digital media in the 21st century has brought about a wide variety of products and services related to creating, editing, and distributing multimedia. SoundGraph suggests a new concept of leveraging multimedia from the user’s perspective, and has been making innovative products and services based on our new concept.
After we started off as an in-house venture project of Samsung Electronics in 2000, our first line of products were DJPAD 2020 and D-Vinly 2020, which are the world’s first touch pad and analogue turntable-based real time digital audio controller.
Touchpad based DJPAD 2020 became later the base for the prototype of click wheel interface from Apple’s iPod. And, the same digital audio control method as analogue turn table used in D-Vinyl 2020 is still utilized in many DJ related products until now.
From 2003, the personal computers began to be used as home theater on PDP and LCD TV platforms. SoundGraph developed remote control based user interface, which made it possible for computers to be remotely controlled like other home appliances.
Our home theater PC related business, started as iMON brand, has lead the new area of home theater for many well known PC companies over the last 10 years and also has provided infrared, RF remote controller and receivers, and the new software interface with the ability to allow users to enjoy and easily manage the hundreds of media files. Furthermore, SoundGraph developed a new technology that controls multimedia files on individual computer via wire and wireless USB monitors with touchscreens, which made it easier to enjoy music on home theater system.
Also, we expand further from the existing stereo-based digital audio files, and developed a multi-channel compressed audio file format that allows you to control the properties of musical instruments for each channel.
Along with the mobile areas started from the release of iPhone in 2008, we developed a variety of multimedia-related apps and searched for a new business. In 2012, we switched to the newly emerging digital signage field and withdrew our business from the PC-based hardware market.
Digital signage is composed of display monitors, a content player, software to create and organise content, and software to remotely distribute and manage content. SoundGraph offers an entire range of solutions that is required for various purposes of digital signage.
As of late 2019, SoundGraph supplied to and managed over 30,000 displays at 5,000 retail shops worldwide. Our solutions is based on Android hardware (Android based YouFrame Player and all-in-one Android board display) and as well as software solutions (YouFrame Editor, Viewer, Manager) that are serviced via Google Cloud and Baidu Cloud for China.
Newly emerging media contents are spreading to diverse space through a rapidly increasing number of networks. SoundGraph will continue to develop creative and innovative new ways to provide and take advantages of digital media contents.
