CURRERA-R : Machine Vision Smart Camera with PC inside

CURRERA-R: was discontinued

It was decided to support the produced units, but discontinue further development of the current model.

At the moment, as a replacement XIMEA suggests to use USB3 or USB 2.0 camera models in combination with industrial or commercial mini PC. Examples:

Imago VisionBox AGE-X TIGER+ - Embedded vision system with 4x USB3 cameras

Imago VisionBox AGE-X SERVAL+ - Multi camera setup with more than 12x USB3 cameras

Imago VisionBox AGE-X (tested: AGE-X10: 4 x USB3.0, Z77, the USB3.0 interfaces share 5 GBit / s bandwidth)

Pokini i / i2 (tested: 4 x MQ013xG-E2 at 60 fps)

Intel NUC

VIA EPIA-P910-10Q Pico-ITX

PRODUCT IS DISCONTINUED - check with XIMEA team regarding the options:
