SINGAPORE, Sept. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific today announced its partnership with Newline 
Interactive to enhance multi-location teamwork as the exclusive distributor[1] 
of their newest Unified Collaboration Display (UCD) – Newline UCD. This 
all-in-one 4K Ultra-HD solution integrates individual devices and functions 
into one display, easily addressing the various levels of meetings across 
corporate, enterprise, classroom, and training environments. It is available in 
three tiers - PTC, VNC, RSC.

As flexi-work models and split team arrangements increasingly become the norm, 
organisations today need seamless collaborative platforms that can support 
telecommunications and e-workflows. The timely partnership aims to equip 
organisations with the capabilities to collaborate onsite and remotely, and 
navigate the challenges of flexi-work models.

Newline UCD creates an interactive experience for users to discover new ways of 
engagement with benefits such as:

- Hassle-Free Meeting Set Up to Simplify Remote Working

Combining clever usage of office areas out of meeting rooms, users can easily 
set up the UCD anytime, anywhere. It integrates all the communication and 
collaboration tools required for meetings, including video conferencing 
platforms (Teams, Zoom and Skype), wireless casting systems and interactive 
whiteboards. Users enjoy crystal clear display and voice quality with its 
adjustable 4K wide-angle camera, powerful 40W stereo soundbar, and 
omni-directional microphone with echo cancellation and noise reduction 
features. 

Furthermore, users can access different document formats such as Microsoft 
Office Suite to save files on their preferred storage devices with a simple tap 
of the screen.

- Instantaneous Live Cross-Sharing of Documents to Ease Collaboration Between 
Locations

The UCD enables automatic documentation and storage of meeting assets, 
supported by instant and real-time sharing capabilities across users' preferred 
channels. Its wireless presentation function supports simultaneous connection 
to the UCD for up to four devices, so that users do not have to toggle between 
different files or owners during presentations. Users can simply connect their 
Windows, Mac, Android or iOS devices to quickly project their screen for 
ongoing discussions.  

With the UCD, organisations can also use Open Pluggable Specification (OPS), an 
on-board computer to install Fuji Xerox Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and 
file sharing solutions (such as Working Folder and DocuShare) to increase 
efficiency. 

- Intuitive Technology to Enhance Employee Experience and Productivity

Users can enjoy a smooth writing experience with impeccable touch accuracy such 
that onscreen annotations feel as natural as writing on paper. Leveraging 
optical bonding technology that reduces parallax errors and light reflection, 
the UCD offers an ultra-wide 178° viewing angle with reduced glare to create 
the best visual experience, no matter where you sit in the room.

The UCD's Blue Light Filter Technology also protects users by blocking up to 
75% of the harmful blue light, without compromising display brightness and 
quality.

- Robust Technology to Minimise Operational Costs 

Over time, especially in environments with high humidity and dust, moisture 
collected between the display layers can cause condensation on the inner 
surface of the glass on non-optically bonded displays. The UCD uses optical 
bonding technology to seal the gap between the display layers and prevent the 
penetration of these particles, making it perfect for any environment and 
temperature conditions. The optically bonded layer also provides a protective 
cover glass to guard against scratches and dirt on the screen, resulting in the 
UCD lasting longer and organisations enjoying greater cost savings.

The global pandemic has accelerated the transformation of workspaces to be 
digitally equipped and agile. As the modern-day meeting room becomes 
increasingly dynamic and hands-on, Futuresource Consulting, a specialist 
research and knowledge-based consulting company, expects the overall 
collaboration displays market to annually grow in volume by 25.1% up to 2023, 
according to its latest worldwide report from collaboration displays market 
tracking service[2].  

"With the growing application of interactive technologies and displays across 
different industries in Asia Pacific, we see tremendous growth opportunities to 
augment asynchronous and real-time collaborations. Fuji Xerox's strong network 
of customers and partners makes it the perfect partner to help us take the 
first step towards expanding our footprint in the region and showcasing our 
industry-leading technology," said Eric Lee, CEO of Newline Interactive. 

"The past few months have reiterated the need to ensure that work can be 
carried out remotely – and most importantly, collaboratively online and offline 
– even during times of disruption," said Masashi Sakamoto, President and CEO, 
Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific Pte Ltd. "We are excited to be the sole distributor of 
the latest range by Newline, who develop proprietary innovations that can help 
our customers unlock seamless success and carve new competencies to grow well 
beyond recovery."
