What is xiX-Xtreme?

Extending the xiX camera series with a 32 Gbit/s backend allows the integration of the newest generation of Sony high-speed sensors.
This product line-up offers the fast global shutter Sony Pregius™ S sensors, reaching the full sensor specifications at the smallest form factor.
An innovative housing concept with detachable sensor head optimizes heat dissipation to improve the image quality and simplify integration into tight spaces.

  • High resolutions starting from 16.1 Mpix through to 24.5 Mpix

  • Compact cameras with Sony Pregius™ S sensors: IMX532, IMX531, IMX530

  • Global shutter CMOS utilizing backside illumination (BSI) technology

  • Full high-speed potential with 16.1 Mpix streaming at 160 FPS

  • PCIe Gen3 x4 lanes interface offers 32 Gbits bandwidth

  • Lowest latency - PCI Express with almost non-existent delay

  • Support for Windows, macOS, Linux, ARM and various NVIDIA Jetson modules

  • Options to enhance sensor performance by fan and water heatsinks

  • Short interframe time feature - under 1μs ideal for PIV applications

  • HDR ability through dual ADC - high and low gain readout mode

  • Small camera head form footprint - 26 x 26 x 31 mm

  • Possibility to detach the sensor part of camera from heated body

  • Synchronization and hardware triggering - programmable GPIO

Keyfacts of xiX cameras

Detached-cobra-black
PRECISE
Utilizes Sony Pregius S™ sensors to their maximum potential. 16 Mpix IMX532, 20 Mpix IMX531, 24 Mpix IMX530.
FAST
PCIe connection for blazing speed at 32 Gbit/s. 16 Mpix at 160 FPS, 20 Mpix at 110 FPS, 24 Mpix at 107 FPS.
SMALLEST
Huge performance in a small package. Removable head can be detached and allows the electronics with heat output to be placed away from sensitive locations.
OMNIPRESENT
Built for maximum flexibility and with multi-camera setups in mind, ideal for photogrammetry and VR.
LIGHT-WEIGHT
Payload-friendly SWaP for mobile, robotics, gimbals, or UAV/UAS applications. Designed to have the minimum size with sensor head dimensions of 26x26mm, low weight of 40 gram and power consumption of 15 Watt.
ROBUST
Designs borne from industrial origin offer best-in-class durability. All XIMEA cameras are built in housings milled from original block material with no sheet metal. Electronic designs are proven robust enough for space travel.
ADAPTABLE
Flexible cabling options for size restricted installations. Low profile connectors and shielded cabling offer best-in-class performance in tight spaces. Able to be quickly and easily interchanged with a plethora of combinations.
LOW-LATENCY
Minimum latency and CPU load. PCIe interface comes with the lowest latency possible, delivering data directly to RAM (DMA) with no overhead from critical processing infrastructure.
COMPATIBLE
Windows, Linux, MacOS. Support for various machine vision libraries.
