News Release

2 October 2008

The SILICON VIDEO SV9M001C COLOR camera has been discontinued. EPIX, Inc. cannot accept any new orders for this product. The SV9M001C 1280 x 1024 COLOR camera required the MT9M001 color sensor from Micron. This sensor was discontinued 2 years ago. Recent attempts to find defect-free sensors have failed. We have no choice but to discontinue production.

Affected Order Codes:

• SI-SV9M001C-7FT
• SI-SV9M001C
• SI-SV9M001C-B-7FT
• SI-SV9M001C-B
• SV9M001C-B
• SV9M001C-C

This discontinuation notice does not apply to the SV9M001M monochrome camera.

Aptina still manufactures the monochrome version of this sensor. EPIX has the SV9M001M monochrome camera in stock.
