Jim Dunn's responsibility at Sound Vision is to support all customer applications for Clarity and to develop new partnerships for emerging technologies. Prior to joining Sound Vision in 1996, Jim Dunn was Senior VP of Business Development at Leaf Systems where he was responsible for launching the LeafScan line of film transparency scanners, receiving the Mac User EDDY award for "Best Scanner" in the first year of production. In 1992, Dunn was responsible for launching the Leaf Digital Camera Back (DCB) at Fotokina with Hasselblad as their first OEM partner. Mamiya and Sinar also adopted versions of the product which are still being sold today. Leaf Systems was acquired by Scitex Corporation in 1992.

Dunn is the founder of Dunn Instruments of San Francisco, CA, the company that pioneered the development of the first commercially available film recorders for capturing computer generated images, initially for medical images from modalities such as Nuclear Medicine and Ultrasound, and then for CT scanning and MRI applications. The first images of Saturn that were captured by NASA's Pioneer Project were processed by the Dunn 631 camera for subsequent printing by Newsweek and Scientific American in their publications.

Dunn was awarded a patent for inventing a medical imaging device that detects pulmonary disease using radioactive Xenon 135. He holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Marquette University.
