Video in, intelligence out.

The company built its name on image capture — the boards that turn SDI and HDMI feeds into data a machine can use — and became a globally leading provider of image capture modules along the way. Thirty-plus years on, the four verbs of the business have not changed: acquisition, conversion, streaming and analysis.

The heritage shows in the catalogue. YUAN today ships 372 products across 45 series and five families — PCIe and USB capture cards from HD to 8K60, 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 converters, and AV-over-IP codecs speaking SDVoE, NDI, Dante AV and SRT. Behind them sits a full-stack R&D team that designs the hardware and writes the drivers, firmware, FPGA logic and SDKs itself — which is why the same boards turn up in broadcast galleries, operating rooms and roadside cabinets.

The pivot came when capture met inference. As a strategic partner of NVIDIA, YUAN rebuilt its platforms around Jetson: VPP systems that put up to 275 TOPS of AI compute (VPP6N0-MB) beside the capture pipeline, the Pandora developer kits, and the NexVDO SDK that carries a frame from ingest to analysis with microseconds of overhead. Video stopped being something to record and became something to understand — across nine industries, from smart cities to precision agriculture.

That partnership now spans NVIDIA's full edge line — Jetson Orin and Jetson Thor, IGX, and the Holoscan Sensor Bridge — and reaches into the field through collaborations with Foxconn on smart healthcare and with National Taiwan University Hospital on AI-assisted ultrasound screening. The ambition is stated plainly: to be the next-generation leader in industrial vision computing, and the shortest path from NVIDIA silicon to a deployed product.
