About Pixim
Pixim Inc. has "developed an imaging technology that 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 individual cameras, constantly self-adjusting. 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 and reflections). The result is more than superb image quality; it is accurate, actionable information that gives users the strength of certainty.
