Scitex Corporation Ltd. — 2 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- Scitex is registered to MAC prefix
00:00:57and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:00:57, that block was registered by Scitex — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- Any device on a live network carrying this OUI is very likely legacy/decommissioned graphic-arts prepress or printing hardware from the 1990s-2000s, not actively manufactured equipment; no known security advisories exist for this vendor.
About this vendor.
Scitex Corporation Ltd. holds two IEEE MA-L prefixes, 00:00:57 and 00:A0:46, both registered to the company at its Israeli headquarters address (P.O. Box 330, IL). Founded in 1968 and headquartered in Herzliya, Israel, Scitex began as a textile-machinery maker before pivoting in 1979 to computerized color electronic prepress systems, launching the Response 300 minicomputer-based prepress platform that helped make it a global leader in the graphic-arts and commercial printing industry. Its product line — color scanners, digital cameras for prepress, color retouching/page-assembly workstations, imagesetters/platesetters, and professional inkjet color printers — targeted print shops and graphic-arts production, not consumer or SOHO networking gear. Scitex divested its core hardware units in the 2000s: the Graphic Arts Group was sold to Creo Products Inc. in April 2000, and Scitex Vision was sold to Hewlett-Packard in November 2005, after which the parent continued on as Scailex Corporation with no further Scitex-branded hardware. A third, separately-slugged IEEE registration, 00:A0:FD ("SCITEX DIGITAL PRINTING, INC.," Dayton, Ohio, US), is a distinct legal entity sharing only the brand name and is deliberately excluded from this entry. No IEEE assignment/registration date is published for either prefix in this pair; a third-party aggregator's cited 1998 date is a database-crawl artifact, not an IEEE-attested fact, and is not recorded here.
