Wacom, the global leader in digital pen technology, and Splashtop, a provider of high-performance remote access solutions, today announced the general availability of Wacom Bridge, which is now available in Splashtop Enterprise and Splashtop Business Access Performance products in several select countries. Professional artists and designers must use resource-intensive applications and access to terabytes of data on powerful workstations to work on the latest Wacom CintIQ, CintIQ Pro, and Intuos Pro devices with Splashtop. Now they can take advantage of Wacom's interactive screen technology on any device for a secure, seamless digital creative experience anytime, anywhere.
Over the past few years, Wacom and Splashtop have partnered to solve the challenges associated with the remote work process for a variety of creative artists, including concept artists, storyboard artists, graphic designers, editors, and all other artists working in data-intensive work. Wacom Bridge is the first software of its kind to address the needs of professional artists directly from the artist in mind, such as Wacom Bridge for seamless and flexible use of pen in local and remote systems through application-specific settings, reduced perceived latency by eliminating cursor lag, support for Windows Ink and Wintab API pen input, and more.
Faik Karaoglu, Executive Vice President of Wacom Branding, emphasized the significance of the partnership, saying, "The Wacom Bridge is the latest in an ongoing collaboration between Wacom and artists. The software is designed to exceed the needs of creatives who want to collaborate on the go in data-intensive workflows.
