"Pixim is honored to be selected for the 2007 CPSE Silver Excellence Award for our technical contribution to the security camera industry by a worldwide panel of professionals and experts," commented John Monti, Pixim vice president of marketing and business development "In addition to noting the technical achievements of our Orca chipset and camera reference designs, the award also recognizes the widespread market adoption of our chipset that has set the standard for image quality"

Pixim's key innovation is its Digital Pixel System (DPS) ultra-wide dynamic range technology, achieving unprecedented image quality and consistency in all lighting conditions. Cameras powered by Pixim's specialized imaging chipsets can significantly enhance security through the following capabilities:

- Wide dynamic range: Captures highlight and shadow detail - including backlit faces - in the same scene at the same time.
- Highest total resolution: Makes it easy to distinguish target image features and details, even in highly variable lighting conditions.
- Superior color rendering: Accurately displays color even in difficult lighting such as indoor/outdoor, glare, and fluorescent lighting.
- No "camera blindness": Eliminates the vertical smear, pixel blooming, and other image artifacts commonly encountered in high-contrast scenes.
- High image compression: Improves image quality with smaller file size - allowing DVRs to record with higher frame rate or higher resolution, or both, while maintaining the same total recording time.
