Pixelmetrix is headquartered in Singapore, and also has offices in the United States and Europe. Following a liquidation exercise starting in 2014, the Pixelmetrix legal entity was dissolved in 2017. From 2014, full hardware and software support for all Pixelmetrix product lines has been provided by Torque Video Systems. Corporate history 
In 1999, Danny Wilson and Ben Lim founded Pixelmetrix Corporation in Singapore as a privately held limited company, recruiting Tom Orlowski and Hideki Takahashi to complete the start-up team. The name “Pixelmetrix“ was derived from the combination of the words "pixel" and "metrics", loosely suggesting that the company "measures pixels". Pixelmetrix released its first product, DVStation, in 2000. DVStation is a modular multi-player system that can simultaneously monitor up to 21 ports and multiple layers of the video transmission chain. In 2002, Japan Telecom and Korea Telecom selected DVStation for end-to-end signal quality monitoring during the FIFA World Cup Football games in Japan and Korea. In 2004 the DVStor and DVShift Compliance Recording product lines were introduced to target disaster recovery. With the emergence of IPTV, Pixelmetrix launched DVStation-IP3 in 2006 for IPTV test and monitoring. The following year, it brought on the Electronic Couch Potato and Consolidator to monitor true customer viewing to ensure "Quality of Experience". By October 2001, Pixelmetrix had opened an office in Switzerland and established a sales office in Florida. The company added a support office in Barcelona, Spain in 2010. Finance
The company has pursued external funding and today is backed by several private, venture capital and institutional investors including OWW Capital Partners, UOB Ventures, Enspire Capital and Singapore Economic Development Board Technopreneur Investment Fund. Revenues have grown year on year and the company has been profitable throughout the years. Awards
