What is xiB-64?

The xiB-64 cameras stream images to the host computer via 8 lanes on a PCI Express Gen3 bus, boasting a 64 Gbit/s sustainable transfer rate.
Due to the underlying technology, there is no additional latency and hardly any CPU load.
This series does not compromise and is extremely useful where the highest data rates are required, either for simultaneous speed, bit depth, and resolution or for extremely high frame rates. It features high-speed sensors (1.3 Mpix at > 3500 FPS) all the way to ultra high-res sensors with unmatched framerates (65 Mpix at 72 FPS). An integrated 4 GB buffer ensures that no frames are dropped. The cameras can be fully synchronized with their multiple GPIOs.
The active EF lens mount adapter enables the combination with a wide array of superb optics, with direct control over the aperture and the focus.
The use of optical fiber cables allows distances up to 100 m between cameras and host computer without any performance penalty and even 300 m with reductions in frame rate. Put your camera where the action is: Monitor and record high-speed activity from a distance.

Fastest overall speed - 64 Gbit/s, with real bandwidth of 7000 MB/s
High resolution up to 65 Mpix, fast sensors 1 Mpix at 3500+ FPS

XIMEA model names are made up of short codes that describe key characteristics of a camera. The example below (CB024CG-GP-X8G3-SFF) shows how a typical name is put together, and the table explains the codes used in this camera family. It is meant as a quick guide: individual models may deviate, so the datasheet remains the binding reference.
