Pixim's Orca Chipset Technology Enables Cieffe's First Campx(TM) Surveillance Camera with Composite Output
Share:
Mountain View, Calif. -- May 8, 2006 - Pixim's Orca chipset is a key component in CIEFFE's first composite security surveillance camera. Based on Pixim's award winning Digital Pixel System® (DPS) technology, CIEFFE's composite CamPX complements their NETTUNO CamPX network surveillance camera with POE (Power over Ethernet) capability.
Pixim's Orca chipset enables CIEFFE's CamPX to deliver excellent images in both normal and wide dynamic range (WDR) scenes in any lighting conditions, 24/7. Pixim's image consistency and accuracy overcomes typical impediments of existing analog CCD technologies to provide positive subject identification caused by variable lighting and limited color accuracy.
Taking full advantage of Pixim's Orca chipset's DPS technology, CIEFFE's composite CamPX delivers 720 x 540 pixel progressive scan image capture with a global electronic shutter that minimizes motion artifacts. The camera specifications include WDR of 120 dB, excellent low light performance (0.5 lux in color), and high Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) even at high temperature. CIEFFE's CamPX independently controls and manages the auto iris of the fitted lenses according to the light condition of the selected scene.
"The success of CIEFFE's Pixim chipset-enabled Nettuno CamPX IP-camera, introduced last year, was so great that we decided to extend our Pixim offerings with our first composite camera based on the same DPS technology," comments Fabrizio Colciago, Technical Director of CIEFFE. "Coupled with Pixim's chipset the CamPX provides extremely flexible and scalable solutions for any type of CCTV installation requiring high video quality."
"We are excited about CIEFFE's adoption of Pixim's technology. CIEFFE has developed excellent solutions for the networked video surveillance market, integrating advanced capabilities such as Pixim's DPS imaging technology, now for both the composite and IP markets," said John Monti, Pixim's Vice President of Marketing and Sales. "CIEFFE's expertise with complete network solutions will make the new Pixim-enabled CamPX an even more valuable security camera offering."
