Highlights

What is xiX?

The compact versions of our xiX PCIe interface camera series, equipped with the latest CMOS sensors, are the ideal choice for system integrators with complex setups and high bandwidth demands. Delivering high performance to small spaces and reaching greater distances, these cameras enable even the most challenging multi-camera systems. For the same form-factor and sensor options, but standard and easy-to-use USB3 interface, please consider the xiC camera family.

Keyfacts

Keyfacts of xiX cameras

xiX-black-orange-cable-flex-8-embedded-multi-camera

PRECISE

Global Shutter Pregius™ sensors deliver outstanding imaging quality.

DIVERSE

Wide range of Sony Pregius™ global shutter sensors from 2 Mpix to 24 Mpix.

FAST

10 Gbps: 12x fater than GigE, 15x than Firewire and 25x USB 2.0.

SMALLEST

Combination of tiny form factor and flat ribbon flex cable makes these cameras ideal for miniature mobile embedded vision systems.

LIGHT-WEIGHT

Payload-friendly SWaP for mobile, robotics, gimbals, or UAV/UAS applications.

ROBUST

Full metal housing, CNC-machined with precision, no moving parts or sheet metal covers for maximum stability and durability.

OMNIPRESENT

Compatible with the xiSwitch platform. Built for maximum flexibility and with multi camera setups in mind, ideal for Photogrammetry and VR.

COMPATIBLE
