xiX camera series

Extending the xiX camera series with a 32 Gbit/s backend allows the integration of the newest generation of Sony sensors. This product line-up offers large format sensors (150 Mpix, 66.7 mm diagonal) as well as the fast global shutter Sony Pregius™ S sensors, reaching the full sensor specifications at the smallest formfactor. An innovative housing concept with detachable sensor heads optimizes the integration into crowded instruments and the heat dissipation to improve the image quality. Reaching a resolution of 150 Mpix (14,208 x 10,656 pixels) and up to 2 fps pixels.

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.

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.

Featuring one of the largest sCMOS sensors available today, the Gpixel GSENSE6060 with 37.7 million 10 μm pixels and a 60 × 60 mm optical format. The MX377 camera delivers scientific imaging capabilities with high dynamic range and low noise – at high speed. Front- and backside illuminated versions are available that reach a quantum efficiency of up to 95%. The low noise performance is attributed to the sensor design and the Peltier elements with fan or liquid cooling backends. The high resolution, fast framerates and 16 bits depth are efficiently handled by PCIe
