Silicon Optix Inc was a privately held fabless semiconductor company that designed and manufactured video/image digital processing integrated circuits. Originally a division of Genesis Microchip, Silicon Optix was spun off in 2000 by Paul Russo, the CEO of Genesis Microchip at the time.[1] Silicon Optix acquired Teranex and its patents on the GAPP, which it incorporated into some of their products.[2]
In June 2008, Flexible Picture Systems (FPS) acquired the box systems business from Silicon Optix, and became the exclusive manufacturer and source for the Image AnyPlace video/graphics scaler with Geometry Correction and Edge Blending.[3] Since 2008, Flexible Picture Systems has continued to develop products based on Silicon Optix video processing technology, and introduced the Image AnyPlace-200 in 2009, and OmniScale-200 in 2010.
In October 2008, IDT acquired video processing technology and related assets from Silicon Optix.[4][5] IDT retains the Silicon Optix REON technology.
In May 2009, Paul Russo's new company GEO Semiconductor Inc acquired the REALTA and GEO technologies of Silicon Optix.[6]
In June 2009, Jupiter Systems acquired the Teranex division (based in Orlando) of Silicon Optix.[7]
