Pixim, Incorporated's patented DigitalPixel System® (DPS) technology is integrated into the DigiOp True-Pixcamera series, a new state-of-the-art line of box and dome cameras targetedfor the retail market from General Solutions, a company specializing incustom applications for storing and managing digital video. GeneralSolutions is introducing two new Pixim-enabled NTSC/PAL Orca chipsetcameras, the GSDCT-VDNPS620XT Vandal Dome and the GSDCT-PS620XT Box Camera.

Pixim's DPS technology solves General Solutions' urgent need for true widedynamic range video capture in retail environments which typically havechallenging lighting issues, such as glare, extreme lighting, and strongbacklight. Pixim's DPS chipsets are compact, easy to configure and deliverexcellent image quality and color accuracy in both normal and wide dynamicrange (WDR) scenes in any lighting conditions, 24/7.

General Solutions DigiOp True-Pix camera series will set new standards forease of installation and high quality video reproduction for a wide varietyof real-world applications. "Intelligent personalities," optimizedsettings for indoor, outdoor, night vision, and fluorescent lighting,coupled with true color reproduction contribute to the rich feature setenabled by Pixim's DPS technology.

Pixim's image consistency and accuracy overcomes typical impediments ofexisting analog CCD technologies to provide positive subject identificationcaused by variable lighting and limited color accuracy. The DPS imagesensor converts light to a digital signal at each pixel, enabling eachpixel to have independent, optimized exposure times to deliver the highestimage quality and color accuracy.

"We were originally taken by the color accuracy and progressive scancapture of Pixim's image sensor technology," cites Tom Lassandro, VicePresident of Product Marketing at General Solutions. "Accurate colors andminimal motion artifacts are crucial to real-time intelligent videoanalysis as well as the forensic study of video after an incident occurs.General Solutions sees a bright future for camera products based on Pixim'sDPS architecture, including cameras specifically for the IP market to beannounced in the near future."

Since DPS technology provides superior picture quality in challenginglighting situations, video analytics and biometrics algorithms work better.General Solutions' video analysis capabilities will benefit fromincorporating Pixim's Orca chipset into their new line of cameras.

"General Solutions is a savvy, market-driven organization interested incapitalizing on leading edge technologies for asset security," states JohnMonti, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Pixim. "Pixim's DPStechnology provides General Solutions with a family of security camerastargeted for retail markets to ensure accurate subject identification ineven the most severe lighting conditions."
