Independent tests confirm: Pixim’s technology offers significant compression advantages


Benefits of better video image compression include reduced system costs, more available storage space, less network congestion


Pixim announced that research performed by an independent test lab has validated significant compression advantages - along with associated cost, storage and file transfer benefits - of Pixim's Digital Pixel System® technology. Pixim's findings have been published in a comprehensive White Paper, Overview, and Flash-flip book, all readily available from Pixim's home page.

The tests, conducted by dBeech Associates, Ltd. (http://www.dbeech-associates.com/), validated the Digital Pixel System technology's superior compression capabilities and digital video recorder (DVR) space savings in some typical security applications, compared to both high-resolution and medium-resolution analog CCD cameras. In addition to the compression advantages, the independent test lab also confirmed the superiority of the true wide dynamic range (WDR) capabilities of Pixim's Digital Pixel System technology.

Pixim's Digital Pixel System technology delivers video that is easier for compression algorithms to work with to achieve higher compression rates without sacrificing image quality. At a system level, this means higher flexibility and lower costs because Pixim's more efficiently compressed video images have lower bit rates and smaller file sizes, which makes them easier to move between the camera and a DVR or networked video recorder (NVR) and more economical to store.

Sunell WDR cameras improve security at China’s Kunming International Airport


Kunming Wujiaba International Airport (KMG), located in the southeastern outskirts of Kunming City, China, handles some six million passengers annually. Kunming City, the capital of Yunnan Province, enjoys a pleasant climate with little temperature change throughout the year, making it a favorite destination for holidays. Originally built in 1923, the Kunming Airport is one of five Chinese airports that opened early to foreign airlines. It was also one of the airports used by participants and spectators attending the Beijing Olympic Games.
