What is xiX-Xtreme
xiX-Xtreme
[ksi-x-treme: or sai-ex:tri:m]
is the high-speed PCI express camera family with detachable sensor heads:
•
Sony Pregius S sensors with 16.1 Mpx, 20.3 Mpx, and 24.5 Mpx
•
Super-fast 32 Gbit/s data throughput to ensure 105 fps 24.5 Mpx up to 159 fps 16.1 Mpx enabled by PCIe X4G3
•
The detachable sensor heads measure only 26 × 26 × 33 mm
–
Sensor module is separable from camera electronics over distances up to 1 m
•
Special sensor features like Dual ADC (HDR mode), short shutter interval time, and others
The xiX-Xtreme cameras offer the opportunity to reach the full sensor specifications while still keeping the smallest possible form factor.
Our innovative approach separates the sensor head from the readout electronics, facilitating integration into the most confined spaces.
This separation not only optimizes spatial utility but also drastically reduces heat accumulation at the sensor, lowering noise levels and
enhancing image quality. The pixel size of 2.74 µm helps to use C-mount lenses thus further improving the cost-effectivity and enabling
miniature size for mobile and multiple camera systems.
