What is the real transfer speed?
xiX camera can deliver up to 800Mbyte/sec. This requires that certain conditions are met, see

Why can I not achieve maximum transfer speed?
In order to reliably achieve maximum transfer speed it is necessary to verify that you are using recommended hardware (please
see
, and that all software requirements are met.
xiCOP (please see
) - XIMEA Control Panel free software tool, facilitates the task of verification of XIMEA
camera connection and installation as well as firmware updates.

What voltage should be applied to Digital Input of xiX to turn it on/off?
xiX camera features two type of inputs (-UB, -TC only). First is optoisolated input only. Second is INOUT set to input function.
Following table shows different levels of Voltage on Digital Input (VDI) on xiX and their logical interpretation.

6.1.3.5.
What is the implementation of Digital Output (VDO) of xiX?
xiX cameras features two kind of digital output:
1. Opticaly isolated digital output - opto-isolated NPN open collector type, max. load current 25mA, max. open voltage 24Vdc.
