Pixim DPS Technology

Pixim’s Digital Pixel System ® technology revolutionizes the way video cameras capture and process images. Unlike traditional cameras, where each pixel cannot adjust to highlights and lowlights in the same scene, Pixim’s patented Digital Pixel System technology empowers hundreds of thousands of pixels to act like constantly self-adjusting individual cameras. This all-digital system enables Pixim-powered cameras to efficiently capture the whole picture, regardless of lighting condition or application – thus securing the highest resolution, natural color and clarity, while automatically eliminating image-compromising visual noise (e.g., glare, reflections). The result is more than superb image quality; it is accurate, actionable information that gives users the strength of certainty.

Unparalleled Image Quality Across All Lighting Conditions
Traditional CCD cameras can’t “see” well when lighting conditions aren’t optimal. These cameras experience a lack of details in high-contrast and backlit situations, low clarity in shadows, and image “washout” from glare or reflections.

Pixim-Powered cameras are not foiled by changes in lighting, making them ideal for any application. Pixim’s Digital Pixel System technology, with its self-adjusting pixels can detect the eye color of a perpetrator, an employee swapping one dollar bills for twenties, or the identity of a thief, even in unpredictable and variable lighting conditions.

Delivering Natural Color and the Highest Resolution
Pixim-Powered cameras capture evidentiary-quality images of sufficient detail and accuracy to prosecute wrong-doers. Not only do Pixim-Powered cameras deliver the highest total resolution (horizontal x vertical), but they provide superior color rendering and the optimal exposure in all lighting conditions.

Eliminates Image-Compromising Noise
CCD cameras frequently experience pixel blooming, vertical smearing and camera blindness – often known as noise. Noise not only compromises image quality, but it gobbles up valuable recording space. Analog CCD cameras inherently add sampling and conversion noise that increases DVR storage needs by 2x-4x,depending on the scene.

The Pixim all-digital technology automatically eliminates image-compromising noise and glare to ensure the images are always clear. It also minimizes noise that can go undetected, such as random noise, speckles and edge jitter.

By eliminating the noise, Pixim’s technology delivers superior image quality over traditional cameras and maximizes DVR storage, creating significant system savings.
