xiB camera series

The xiB cameras stream images to the host computer via 4 lanes on a PCI Express Gen2 bus, boasting an impressive 20 Gbit/s of bandwidth. Together with minimal latencies the CPU load, the PCIe technology is ideal for high resolution CMOS sensors. The cameras are compactly housed in 60 x 60 x 38 mm, can be fully synchronized with their multiple GPIOs and offer an active Canon EF-Mount. All properties are extremely useful in multi-camera applications like 360 panoramas. In situations where multiple camera heads need to be placed in close proximity, system integrators can combine and aggregate the data streams from cameras with various resolutions via additional accessories.

he xiB-64 camera series with 64 Gbit/s is the host for the fastest image sensors out there. It features lower resolution high-speed sensors (2 Mpix at 2500 Fps) all the way to ultra high-res sensors with unmatched framerates (65 Mpix at 72 Fps). All models can be equipped with an active lens mount and long fiber optical cables.

The models of the xiB-64 series with selected Luxima, CMOSIS and GPixel sensors range from variants with 1.1 Mpix resolution and over 3,600 fps to 65.4 Mpix at 76 fps. The xiB-64 series combines high speed and high resolution in a compact package (60mm x 70mm x 40mm). The ability to transfer image data directly into the PC's main memory (DMA) enables both high-capacity data storage and further processing of image data on graphics processors (GPUs). The range of applications extends from process monitoring, sports broadcasts and flow measurements (PIV) in the high-speed range to land surveying, medical technology and high-resolution spectroscopy. Reaching a resolution of 65.4Mpix (9,344 x 7000 pixels) and up to 71 fps, the newly introduced CB262 from the xiB-64 series expands the product portfolio of XIMEA GmbH from Münster. The PCIe3.0 interface allows image data to be transmitted at 64 Gbps (8 GB/s) - even over distances of 100 m via fiber optic connections.

The xiX- Series is the integrators dream. With only 26.4 x 26.4 x 31 mm and 30 grams it is the smallest camera featuring Sony Pregius™. The fast CMOS sensor offers a high range of High Speed and high frame rates from 2.3 Mpix at 166 Fps to 50 Mpix at 33 Fps. The xiX cameras stream images to the host computer via 2 or 4 lanes on a OCI Express Gen2 bus. Together with minimal latencies and CPU load, the cameras are a perfect fit for embedded vision and multi-camera applications. Thanks to flat flex cabling, the board-level and semi-housed variants allow integration in tight spaces and close proximity between cameras.
