The pix file extension is related to the PCIDSK PCI Geomatics database file format.
PCI Geomatics developed the PCIDSK format, also known as the PCI Geomatics Database File Format, in 1988 as a replacement for the outdated and importable UNIDSK format. The old UNIDSK format was dependent on the 16-bit architecture of the PDP11 system and was unable to scale to the 32-bit or 64-bit systems that replaced it.
In addition to adding portability, the redesign of the old UNIDSK format incorporated other advantageous features:
GCPs (ground control points) present along with a projection in an PCIDSK file being read can either be applied to the data as an affine transformation, or stored as propeties of the raster geometry. GCPs cannot be written to PCIDSK.
Use Geometica Core to open *.pix geomatics database files.
Probably can be exported to other formats.
