ASACA/Shibasoku was one of the first companies to focus on meeting the information delivery demands of the broadcasting and mass storage industries. 1971, the year the company was founded, was the year that the 8-inch floppy diskette was invented, but ASACA was already anticipating the arrival of the Multimedia Age.
Through its pioneering efforts, ASACA has achieved a number of industry firsts and worldwide recognition for developing products that have revolutionized the video production and broadcasting industries as well as the mass storage industry;
In 1972, ASACA created a worldwide sensation when it unveiled the first compact version of the broadcast camera and VTR that could be slung over the shoulder. These products were followed by a compact and lightweight version of the video switcher used in broadcast stations that could be used outdoors. An immediate success, the switcher was adopted by the video production industry and broadcasting stations throughout the world.
In the '80s, ASACA developed a still image file system that was widely used in news and weather report images. With the still image file system, a photograph or text from a Still Image Pickup System could be incorporated into a computer where it could be manipulated into a still image graphical expression.
