Pixim Chipset Technology Drives Sales and New Practices in Banking and Financial Security27 January 2006
Pixim, Incorporated announced that its patented Digital Pixel System® (DPS) technology has been integrated into Ikegami's newest surveillance camera offering, the Hyper Dynamic ISD-A10. The performance of the DPS chipset is driving volume sales with banking and financial customers. The ISD-A10 delivers smear-less pictures under severe backlight conditions coupled with excellent overall image quality and color accuracy. Ikegami's Hyper Dynamic ISD-A10 Color Camera was publicly announced at ASIS Orlando and began shipping in volume in December 2005.
Ikegami is recognized worldwide for its state-of-the-art television cameras and closed circuit TV equipment. Performance, brilliant color, image quality, and absolute reliability have established Ikegami's leadership in cameras, displays, and a wide variety of broadcast equipment.
"Effective surveillance requires a consistent ability to accurately identify subjects and objects in real-time," states Teruo Hongo, Director of Ikegami Electronics USA, Inc. "Pixim's technology enables our newest offering, the ISD-A10 camera, to provide smear-less images with high levels of detail even in the presence of strong light. It is estimated that during a 24 hour period, a large number of fielded security cameras fail to capture accurate images due to challenging lighting problems such as exposure to glare, strong back light, reflections, direct sunlight, or bright headlights. We believe that many existing and new installations will adopt our ISD-A10 camera with Pixim's technology, because of the market's prevalent lighting issues."
Ikegami's latest camera offering is driving strong sales in new and upgraded surveillance camera installations in ATMs and financial institutions. Perpetrators once obscured by backlit views are exposed and identified by Pixim's patented Digital Pixel System.
The ISD-A10 is the first of Ikegami's cameras to employ Pixim's DPS technology. Ikegami plans to introduce a wide range of cameras based on DPS chipsets in the future.
Pixim's line of DPS chipsets is compact, easy to configure and delivers excellent image quality in both normal and wide dynamic range (WDR) scenes in any lighting conditions, 24/7. Pixim's image consistency and accuracy overcomes typical impediments of existing analog technologies to provide positive subject identification caused by variable lighting and limited color accuracy. The DPS image sensor converts light to a digital signal at each pixel, enabling each pixel to have independent, optimized exposure times to deliver the highest image quality and color accuracy.
"Ikegami's choice of Pixim for its ISD-A10 camera is an ideal fit for applications where positive subject and object identification are extremely important, such as at bank branch and ATM machine locations," said Joe Montalbo, president and CEO of Pixim. "Pixim's DPS technology will help minimize losses and catch more perpetrators in harsh and unpredictable real-life lighting conditions."
Customers shipping Pixim chipsets in their security camera products include: Baxall, Dallmeier Electronic, EverFocus, Tyco Fire & Security, GE Security, General Solutions, Honeywell, Ikegami, Pelco, Sunell, JVC, ChipER, Eagle Technology, Videor Technical, Smartvue, and Verint.
