EPIX 160 Megapixel Imaging System Overview
EPIX's 160 Megapixel Imaging System is a published multi-camera acquisition configuration built around 16 SILICON VIDEO cameras and four PIXCI SI4 frame grabbers. It is not a single 160MP sensor.

Review Summary
The published system is useful as an example of a coordinated host-based acquisition architecture rather than as a single-camera resolution upgrade. Its purchasing value depends on whether multiple views or parallel observations solve the application's problem. A current proposal should specify cameras, acquisition boards, software, workstation and recording behavior as one tested system.
Integration and Selection
The published architecture uses four SI4 frame grabbers for sixteen cameras. Establish how triggers, resets and capture sequences are coordinated and how the software associates every image with the correct observation. A recording test should monitor all streams, including the behavior when one expected image is missing. Recording duration depends on the selected modes and workstation rather than on the nominal system name.
