New Model Adds Modular and Configurable Set-up Options to Proven System

PRINCETON, NJ – March 23, 2010 – Sarnoff Corporation today launched the next generation of its Iris on the Move (IOM) PassPort walk-through iris recognition system for high-speed biometric identification.

The IOM PassPort™ is a proven iris image capture system that quickly images the iris of a person in motion and at comfortable distances. The technology combines the extraordinary accuracy of iris recognition with the speed and convenience of a pass-through system.

While other iris scanning technologies require users to stop or stare directly into a scanner, IOM technology works differently. It uses Sarnoff’s patented and cutting edge vision technologies to verify identities at speeds of up to thirty people per minute, allowing subjects to walk through the system at a standard pace, without stopping to look into a scanner.

The new second generation IOM PassPort is now available as a modular and reconfigurable system that has been redesigned to be even more thin and sleek, with a smaller overall footprint.

“It’s more important than ever to have a choice in how security systems are encountered by users,” said Mark Clifton, Sarnoff’s Acting President and Chief Executive Officer. “We designed the next generation IOM PassPort to be extensively configurable and less obtrusive, so buyers can receive super fast, easy-to-use, and reliable identity verification in a way that makes sense for their particular environment.”

The next generation IOM PassPort system is available in two base configurations, with or without a knee wall and with or without illuminator cabinet covers. Each configuration can then be further customized for maximum set-up flexibility.

For more information and to view a demo of the next generation IOM PassPort system in action, visit Sarnoff at ISC West, March 24-26, in Booth #12135 or on the web at http://www.sarnoff.com/products/iris-on-the-move/portal-system.
