Pixim,
Inc., and Scantec GmbH have entered into partnership to distribute the
Pixim chipsets and video surveillance camera reference design in
Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy and Poland. The Pixim-Scantec
distribution agreement underscores Pixim's commitment to global
expansion and rapid market adoption in the video surveillance market.
Scantec will distribute Pixim's complete digital imaging system,
consisting of an image sensor, image processor, camera reference design
kit, and key software and algorithms that allow camera developers to
easily design and build high quality, advanced-featured cameras.
"Scantec offers Pixim's European camera developers an excellent
sales and support team, based on a strong technical background and
years of expertise," comments John Monti, Vice President of Marketing
and Sales for Pixim. "Our partnership with Scantec will enable more
customers to access Pixim technology and receive support in their local
languages."
Pixim's Camera Reference Design incorporates their Orca Chipset with
patented Digital Pixel System® (DPS) technology to deliver excellent
image and color rendition in both normal and wide dynamic range scenes
in any lighting conditions, 24/7. DPS technology converts light to a
digital signal directly at the point of capture in the image sensor,
enabling each pixel to have independent, optimized exposure times to
deliver the highest image quality.
In addition, Pixim chipsets combine features that include excellent low
light performance (0.5 lux in color), wide dynamic range (120dB max), a
progressive scan imager with global shutter that minimizes motion
artifacts and reduces compression bit rates, and high Signal-to-Noise
Ratio (SNR) even at high temperature
"Adding Pixim products to Scantec's portfolio reaffirms our commitment
to introduce and support cutting edge technologies into the European
market," explains Elke Wittmann, Managing Director for Scantec.
"Pixim's imaging system delivers unmatched flexibility and
functionality by combining image capture and processing within a single
optimized system."
