Pixim's Orca Chipset Technology Drives Momentum in TCP/IP Surveillance Camera Market23 February 2006
Pixim, Incorporated announced that itspatented Digital Pixel System® (DPS) technology has been integrated intonew TCP/IP surveillance cameras from Dallmeier electronic, Verint Systems,and Product Acceleration Inc. While each camera offers unique features andfunctions, all have incorporated Pixim's Orca chipset to achieve superiorpicture quality in challenging lighting situations that enables videoanalytics and biometrics algorithms to work better.
"The IP surveillance camera market is positioned for dramatic growth overthe next five years. Pixim's chipset technology is poised to takeadvantage of this trend by providing key technology to an industry thatdepends on the underlying semiconductor markets," states Mark Kirstein,iSuppli's Vice President of Multimedia Content and Services and author ofthe recent industry report, Video Surveillance: Migrating to IP Cameras andNetworked Systems. "Pixim's ability to perform in low-light conditions andat high resolution gives them unique positioning among CMOS image sensorcompetitors targeting video surveillance."
Pixim chipsets combine impressive and powerful features, that includeexcellent low light performance (0.5 lux in color), wide dynamic range(120dB max), a progressive scan imager with global shutter that removesmotion artifacts, remote control port, and high Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)at high temperature.
Pixim's line of DPS chipsets is compact, easy to configure and deliversexcellent image quality in both normal and wide dynamic range (WDR) scenesin any lighting conditions, 24/7. Pixim's image consistency and accuracyovercomes typical impediments of existing analog CCD technologies toprovide positive subject identification caused by variable lighting andlimited color accuracy. The DPS image sensor converts light to a digitalsignal at each pixel, enabling each pixel to have independent, optimizedexposure times to deliver the highest image quality and color accuracy.
Dallmeier electronic, a leader in networked video surveillance, won "BestHardware Product" in this year's IIPSEC 2006 Security Innovation Awards,for their Cam_inNET®. DF3000IP-DN TCP/IP high-resolution colorsurveillance camera based on Pixim's Orca chipset.
"Dallmeier's DF3000IP-DN camera is setting new standards for IP cameras insecurity applications," explains Kai Leuze, product manager. "Ourinnovative sensor concept is based on the most up-to-date progressivescan Orca chipset from Pixim, offering previously unseen picture quality inall conceivable lighting conditions with ultra high dynamic range andresolution, and is coupled with software developed especially for securityapplications. With the Pixim chipset, our DF3000IP-DN camera producestrue-color, detailed pictures without any blooming or smearing."
Verint has added the Nextiva S2600e professional IP camera to their line ofNextiva Actionable Intelligence Solutions. The camera features Pixim'sOrca chipset for crisp images in virtually any lighting situation.
"Verint's sophisticated analytics capabilities take full advantage of thehigh quality digital video stream captured by Pixim's Orca chipset,"comments Jean-Paul Saindon, President of Product House. "Pixim's advancedsensor solution provides better data to allow Verint's Nextiva softwarealgorithms to produce more reliable and accurate actionable intelligence."
Product Acceleration, Inc, recently introduced the Cyclops Camera Platform,a competitively priced, compact, Pixim DPS-enabled TCP/IP camera, developedin partnership with Pixim.
"When we saw the Orca chipset performance, its capacity for dramatic marketimpact was obvious. We moved rapidly to capitalize on this advancedtechnology given the mass movement toward TCP/IP cameras in surveillanceapplications." explains Manu Pillai, Product Acceleration, Inc. CEO. "OurCyclops Camera Platform has reduced entry level costs to IP markets, andour design is licensable by qualified OEM customers for volume shipmentsbeginning Q2 2006."
IP video surveillance systems enable broader system-level integration withindustry specific solutions for public safety, traffic control, industrial,retail, education, financial, and consumer applications.
"It is gratifying to see widespread recognition and adoption of Pixim'sOrca chipset at the leading edge of TCP/IP based surveillance systems,"said Joe Montalbo, president and CEO of Pixim. "Certainty in subject andobject identification has never been more important. Pixim's technologybrings critical capabilities for data acquisition, analytics and biometricsthat promise to add new dimensions to surveillance applications across theindustry."
