Open-knowledge reference entry
Pixelmetrix Corporation is a company that develops preventive monitoring products for terrestrial, satellite, cable, and IPTV networks. The company is known for its DVStation product, and also provides equipment and network intelligence systems to television broadcasters for the management and monitoring of quality of service and quality of experience. Pixelmetrix is headquartered in Singapore, and also has offices in the United States and Europe.

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.

Why this record matters
The phrase “open-knowledge reference entry” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7199716. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2014, 2017, 1999 and 2000.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
