Brook推出的Wingman XB轉接器能夠讓玩家在Xbox系列主機使用其他平台的控制器，並在最新的韌體更新中支援在Xbox使用Sony PlaySatation、任天堂Switch的太鼓、飛行控制器。

沿用現有控制器

Wingman XB轉接器的功能為將Sony PlaySatation 5、PlaySatation 4、PlaySatation 3、任天堂Switch及Microsoft Xbox系列等平台的控制器，轉接至Xbox Series X|S、Xbox One、Xbox 360、Xbox（初代）及PC等遊戲主機，讓玩家能夠沿用手上現有的控制器，解決跨平台控制器支援的需求。

隨著《太鼓之達人 鼓咚大師！》的推出，Xbox Series X|S、Xbox One等主機終於迎來首款系列作品，這款音樂遊戲最大的特色，就是跟隨畫面上的音符敲擊太鼓造型控制器。不過目前廠商尚無推出Xbox Series X|S、Xbox One專用的控制器，讓玩家只能透過手把操作。

Wingman XB在最新的韌體更新中，支援在Xbox系列主機使用PlaySatation、Switch的太鼓控制器，並以自家在專業電競、格鬥搖桿所累積的經驗與技術，確保能達到零延遲轉接，讓玩家在Xbox享受體感演奏的樂趣。

另一方面Wingman XB轉接器也在這次更新支援飛行搖桿，讓玩家能透過市面上較普及的PlaySatation陣營飛行搖桿遊玩《微軟模擬飛行》、《空戰奇兵》系列等飛行遊戲。

▲ Wingman XB轉接器的功能為將多種不同控制器轉接至Xbox系列主機與PC。

▲ 玩家可以透過Wingman XB轉接器，使用PlaySatation、Switch的太鼓控制器遊玩《太鼓之達人 鼓咚大師！》。

▲ Wingman XB更新韌體後也能支援PlaySatation陣營飛行搖桿。

▲Wingman XB的更新與設定展示，設定完成後就能在Xbox Series X上使用PlaySatation專用太鼓控制器。

Wingman XB現已發售，價格為新台幣1,500元，更多轉接器與韌體更新資訊請參考官方網站。

Razer 宣布推出直播產品系列新品 -  Razer Seiren BT 藍牙無線麥克風、Razer 音訊混音器。

Razer 宣布推出直播產品系列新品──Razer Seiren BT 藍牙無線麥克風、Razer 音訊混音器。全新直播週邊裝置搭載專業級無線音訊、現場直播音訊混音，打造高互動性的創意直播設置。

Razer 行動及遊戲主機部門負責人 Richard Hashim 表示：「直到現在，IRL 實況主仍需使用有線麥克風，才能向觀眾提供清晰的音訊。這限制了他們移動或改變手機視角的程度，這點在吵雜的戶外環境尤為如此。而現在，IRL 實況主可透過 Seiren BT 完全自由自在移動，沒有煩人的線材阻礙，可以帶著手機去任何想拍攝的地方，為觀眾帶來豐富又具互動性的體驗，同時享有均勻平衡的音量。」

Razer Seiren BT藍牙無線麥克風

Seiren BT 藍牙無線麥克風透過藍牙連接可與許多行動直播應用程式相容，並搭載全向麥克風和強大的噪音抑制軟體，適合 IRL（真實生活）行動直播。實況主可自由使用自拍棒和其他支架，而不須擔心被電線纏住。其採用簡單的夾式設計，讓實況主得以運用廣角鏡頭，拍出離自己較遠的構圖，並維持清晰的直播音訊。

無論是強風還是吵雜的人群，Seiren BT 麥克風都能透過 Razer Streaming 行動應用程式，以簡單的高/低抑制選項，過濾室內或戶外環境的背景噪音。此外，Seiren BT 還附有室內和戶外防風罩。Seiren BT 是 Razer 專業級麥克風系列的最新產品，Seiren 全系列包括 Seiren V2 Pro、Seiren V2 X 和 Seiren Mini，滿足各種使用者需求。

Razer音訊混音器

專為直播打造的 Razer 音訊混音器是一款單一多工解決方案，具有多種直接輸入能力和一個集中式的強大混音軟體堆疊，為桌上型電腦實況主帶來全新的控制和即時混音水準。Razer 音訊混音器將一切所需放入易於使用、設置簡單，且可完全自訂的 4 通道類比式混音器中。

Razer 音訊混音器讓實況主得以即時控制多個音源、平衡不同音源的音量及靜音功能，甚至可以新增人聲效果，以提高直播內容的豐富度。支援常用音訊連接直接輸入，包括混合式 XLR（附 48V 幻象電源）、TRS Line In 和 Line Out、Optical TOS 等線材，設定簡單便利。

Razer 音訊混音器軟體是一款集中式的音訊混音軟體套件，與 Razer Synapse 3 完整整合，支援所有數位音訊輸出來源，包括遊戲音效、系統、聊天和音樂來源。使用者可透過 Razer Synapse 3 存取一系列的音訊調整選項，包含軟體式去噪、EQ 功能、殘響和變聲器等。每個音源都能經過平衡及混音，並對應到音訊混音器上的硬體功能，由於音訊設定和處理負載可卸載到音訊混音器的內建處理器，能更進一步釋放電腦的系統資源。

Razer 音訊混音器可透過直接輸入簡化設置，讓使用者完全控制音源、通道混音、效果和麥克風設定，輕鬆實現專業品質。支援類比式和數位音源，並具備音源調音、各通道混音和現場淡入淡出、靜音與效果等功能，利用這款單一多工解決方案，實況主幾乎能處理任何硬體和軟體音源組合。

利用 Word 內建的自動「重複標題列」，隨時為跨頁表格加上表頭。

在 Word 上精心製作重要的格表後，最怕遇到表格過大而被迫跨頁，當表格被切成兩半時，不管是內容、格式、樣式，甚至是欄寬與列高，都擔心因為跨頁而被破壞；對閱讀者來說，少了表頭的資訊，就得不斷回到上一頁比對，造成閱讀上的不便。此時，不妨利用 Word 內建的自動「重複標題列」，隨時為跨頁表格加上表頭。

步驟1.在 Word 裡製作表格時，通常都會有個標題列，也就是表頭的位置。   步驟2.當表格大於一頁的內容時，Word 會自動新增一頁，但此時的表格並沒有表頭。   步驟3.因此，回到表格開始之處，全選表頭的內容。   步驟4.接著於工具列中，點選「版面配置」，並選擇「重複標題列」。   步驟5.此時第二頁的表格上方，會自動出現表格的表頭內容。   步驟6.未來表格又再跨入新的一頁時，表頭也會自動新增，不用重新再設定。

光程研創(Artilux)宣布，世界第一款配備NIR與 SWIR 超廣譜紅外光的感測平台，可同時搭載 VCSEL 陣列雷射器或 LED 以及基於 CMOS 製程和鍺矽(GeSi)技術的感測器登場。

光程研創(Artilux)宣布，世界第一款配備 NIR 與 SWIR 超廣譜紅外光的感測平台，可同時搭載 VCSEL 陣列雷射器或 LED 以及基於 CMOS 製程和鍺矽(GeSi)技術的感測器，正式登場。

近年來超廣譜(NIR/SWIR)光學感測應用愈來愈廣泛，具有成本效益和節能的光學元件成為滿足使用者需求的關鍵因素，包括：LED 、VCSEL、邊緣發射鐳射器和 SWIR 感測器等。舉例來說，TWS耳機中的皮膚偵測，即需要 SWIR 波段感測器以執行更透徹和準確的入耳偵測，藉由穩定的波長、低功耗、省電、低成本、小尺寸和更高的靈敏度，提供順暢連接音訊的沉浸式聆聽體驗。

此次光程研創發表的 SWIR 光學感測平台，整合 Artilux 獨家專利的鍺矽(GeSi)技術以及 CMOS 製程，同時將類比前端(AFE)和數位功能集成至單一晶片，並透過 Lumentum 在高性能 VCSEL 陣列領域中940nm和1380nm的技術，實現輕巧且具經濟高效的超廣譜光學感測解決方案。

「我們很高興這次與 Lumentum 合作，發表創新的多光譜光學感測平台。」光程研創產品與營運事業總經理林德松表示：「透過不斷的技術創新，各種廣譜 NIR 與 SWIR 的情境正被應用在消費產品中。為了因應這個快速增長的市場，Artilux Aware 系列產品擁有最具成本競爭力的 SWIR 光學感測平台，它可與 VCSEL 和 LED 功能相輔相成，為 TWS 耳機以及其他穿戴裝置提供高效能的入耳和皮膚偵測。」

隨著 TWS 耳機和智慧手錶需求的普及，穿戴裝置設計有望迎來更多的新型功能，未來亦將具有更多內置的非侵入性生物感測功能。由於 SWIR 感測具有多種光學特性，包括多樣化的生物辨識檢測、材料識別、提高眼睛安全性、減低來自太陽光和環境雜訊的干擾等，因此，可在市場上穿戴裝置的差異化中發揮關鍵作用。

此外，在技術創新和對市場洞察的推動下，光程研創(Artilux)將透過 LED、VCSEL 和 EEL 元件發展輕巧、具成本效益、以及從850nm到1550nm的光學感測解決方案，以實現多種傳統和創新功能應用體驗，包括：心率、血氧測量、聽力和睡眠輔助、血脂、甚至血液酒精和葡萄糖水平監測等，為消費者在數位健康領域，打造高品質的超廣譜光學感測和成像生態系。

SAS台灣聚已助玉山金控建置維運化(Ops)流程，亦與臺北榮總合作即時資料處理、AI 自動化與邊緣運算。

SAS台灣聚已助玉山金控建置維運化(Ops)流程，讓上百個 AI 模型得以數分鐘內完成監控與回饋，實現 AI 規模化應用；亦與臺北榮總合作即時資料處理、AI 自動化與邊緣運算，AI 維運化三階段佈局，助其將 AI 專案完成時間從1年縮減到1週內，並提供可解釋的 AI 讓診療輔助更安全!

SAS 台灣總經理陳愷新指出: 「環境的不確定性，讓組織做判斷的難度大增，因此更仰賴數據來提升決策信心。然而當數據分析與 AI 技術被廣用，又帶來另一波規模化的挑戰。這也是為何領先組織會著眼佈局『維運化』(Ops)流程。因為只有讓 AI 從開發到部署，能在標準流程下被自動監控更新，才能大規模發揮營運價值，解決真實商業問題。」

玉山攜手SAS，共同打造一個自動化、透明化的模型維運流程(ModelOps)，藉以將模型管理作到規模化。這流程包含把所有 AI (商用或開源)模型版本、分析專案納管在一個中央儲存庫，設定權限讓應用單位機密不外洩；再來把整個模型生命週期的管理流程標準化，提高協作效率也便於監控；最後打造統一且透明的回饋機制，讓各應用單位權責人員皆可主動監控異況，同時參與簽核把關模型品質。最重要的是透過此平台把整個管理與稽核軌跡留存下來，為邁向法遵規範立穩根基。

玉山金控科技長張智星表示：「與 SAS 的合作讓我們成功將監控模型作業，從3天縮短到數分鐘。但我們更看重的意義，是當應用單位也共同參與監管 AI、認同 AI 的精準度，才會更願意在日常營運使用它，讓 AI 展現真正價值。」

臺北榮總與 SAS 共同合作展開三階段 AI 臨床應用技術藍圖。去年初雙方首先完成階段一:「資料為王」，將北榮大數據平台的資料，與血液透析(洗腎)機等聯網機器分秒吐出的串流資料做串接。日前再度完成階段二：「 AI 自動化與邊緣運算」。即導入自動化機器學習 AutoML 技術，讓建模過程從資料前處理、模型建置與部署，到模型解釋全都自動化。完成了優化 AI 開發與規模化 AI 應用後，第三階段北榮要做到「管控與拓展」: 透過架構在雲端環境上的模型維運化(ModelOps) 流程，不斷監控模型效能。

臺北榮總資訊室郭振宗主任說明：「醫院做模型維運化的終極目的，是要管控 AI 模型的效能，以確保輔助診療的安全性。未來我們還要朝向邁入食藥署『軟體即醫療器材(SaMD)』的目標，推展此一典範模型給更多醫院，以造福更多病患。」

SAS 總經理陳愷新建議企業除了維運化(Ops)，下一波必須掌握「複合式AI」(Composite AI )技術-即在同一個運行框架下，結合不同 AI 技術，來為複雜商業問題提出最佳解。陳愷新也提醒，能養成具備跨 AI 學科團隊的組織仍是少數，因此企業須尋求可支援複合式 AI 技術的單一平台，搭配為自身重要商業問題做出定義與排序，制定出「階梯式戰略」才容易取得成功。
