EPIX, Inc. is a privately held company founded in 1983. From inception, the company's mission is to provide cost effective solutions to customers with demanding video and imaging requirements - acquisition, processing, analysis, storage, transmission, or display.Customer needs are served with off-the-shelf computer hardware and software, as well as customized products, superior technical support, and consulting services. An engineering oriented company, over 75% of employees hold technical or engineering degrees, or have equivalent training.EPIX, Inc. designs and manufactures computer hardware, software, and printed circuit boards to convert, manipulate, and store images and graphics. Typical requirements are to acquire images from analog video, digital video, or scanner - converting the imagery to array(s) of intensity data ("pixels"). Images are processed or enhanced by the host computer, digital signal processor (DSP), or dedicated circuitry - improving appearance, adding graphics, or combined with other images. Images are analyzed - determining the size, position, and relationship of features. Images are displayed - converted from pixel format to analog video, digital video, or printed. Images are transmitted - through the Internet or other technologies.Off-the-shelf, ready-to-run, interactive programs offer end-users immediate and convenient imaging tools. "C" libraries provide the basis for OEM-written application programs.Customization services provide added functionality, or a different "look and feel", for EPIX® imaging hardware, software, graphics, and documentation.
