Recommended system configuration:

For best processing performance and bandwidth we recommend to use the following system configuration. This is essential when
using the higher resolution models for achieving maximum frame rate.

CPU:

Intel i7

RAM:

2GB RAM or more

Disc Space:

200 MB of free disc space

Video:

NVIDIA or Radeon graphics card 128MB

Ports:

Motherboard with a USB 3.0 port connected to a high performance chipset (e.g. Intel QM77 or Z77)
and/or PCIe x1-16 Gen 2 slot for compatible USB 3.0 host adapter (see next chapter for more details)

4.1.2.2.

USB 3.0 Host Adapter

For a stable operation of your xiQ camera and achieving the maximum possible system performance with the highest frame rate it
is important to choose an appropriate USB 3.0 host adapter chipset.

Please have a look at the following link to our webpage:

http://www.ximea.com/support/wiki/usb3/Compatible_hardware

XIMEA maintains a regularly updated overview of compatible USB 3.0 host adapter chipsets together with the available bandwidth
(e.g. see

3.13 U3PE-FL1009

and

3.14 U3PE-D720202-X4

The maximum data transfer rate depends on different conditions (motherboard, chipset, driver version, operating system, ..). The
Following table lists the maximum data transfer speed achieved using the selected controller on Windows 7 x64 with CPU Intel i7-
3770.

Table 4-1, USB3 maximum data transfer rates

PCI Express (PCIe) bus speed requirement: To achieve maximum performance of USB3 cameras - USB 3.0 host adapter must be
connected to the PCIe slot/port/hub supporting Gen 2 (or higher) and running at 5Gb/s.

4.1.2.3.

Cables

The USB 3.0 cable that you use with the xiQ camera is responsible for the power supply and the data transfer to the PC. It is
required to use an industrial USB 3.0 cable with a proper wiring and shielding. We recommend using XIMEA industrial USB 3.0
cables in order to achieve the maximum possible performance of the camera.

XIMEA offers several passive USB 3.0 cables and a sync cables, please see

3.9 CBL-U3-3M0 / CBL-U3-5M0 / CBL-U3-8M0

3.10 CBL-U3-3M0-ANG

and

3.11 CBL-MQSYNC-3M0

4.2.

Video Formats

4.2.1.

Full Resolution

By default, each camera outputs a full resolution image based on its sensor specification.

However, on some sensors, the actual output resolution can deviate from the specification if a color mode is used (see.

Color and Mono Modes

).

4.2.2.

ROIs – Region Of Interest

ROI, also called area-of-interest (AOI) or windowing, allows the user to specify a sub-area of the original sensor size for read-out.
