MUENSTER, GERMANY - XIMEA [https://www.ximea.com/], the innovator of high-resolution cameras with a unique feature set, expands the xiX-XL family by introducing the currently highest resolution cameras using a backside illuminated Sony IMX811 sensor.

The MX2457 [https://www.ximea.com/products/embedded-system/xix-xl-large-medium-format-sony-sensor-cameras/sony-imx811-pcie-color-large-format-bsi-embedded-camera] leverages the high-bandwidth PCIe interface for real-time data transfer, crucial for demanding applications. The Sony IMX811 sensor delivers stunning detail and sensitivity, ideal for surface inspection, texture analysis, and City mapping.

Key Features

- Ultra-High Resolution: The MX2457 models boast a remarkable 245.7 MPix, with an effective resolution of 19,200 x 12,800 pixels. This ensures detailed and precise imaging, essential for applications focused on Outdoor 3D mapping and Videogrammetry.

- Backside Illumination Technology: Compared to the typical Frontside illumination sensors, the BSI versions can achieve considerably higher quantum efficiency of above 80% allowing for better image quality, including low light environments.

- High bandwidth Interface: Transferring over 10 frames per second of 245 Megapixel data load is made possible through using high speed interface offering 32 Gbits throughput, supporting efficiency in time-sensitive industrial processes.

- Compact and Lightweight Design: Despite its Medium format sensor size measuring 64 mm in diagonal, the camera maintains a tight form factor with around 80 x 80 mm front size, optimizing space utilization and integration flexibility.

- PCIe Gen 3 Interface: The camera features a PCI Express Gen 3 interface, ensuring DMA (direct memory access) data transfer with the lowest latency and CPU load. Further allowing long distance connection and easy multiplexing of several cameras into a multi camera system.

- Detached Sensor Head: The unique detachable sensor head of the camera allows flexible integration and minimizes the noise through heat reduction on the sensor side. This design feature optimizes image quality and enables deployment in space-constrained environments.

- Extra Cooling: The default heat dissipation option is the Fan module attached to the back of the camera. To eliminate any vibrations and decrease the heat even further a module with Water (liquid) cooling can be added.

- Lens Mounting: Several passive and active lens mounts are planned to be available - starting with a mechanical M72 mount and an active EF-mount. The active Hasselblad mounts would provide remote control of the aperture, focus and image stabilization.

To summarize, the new camera models joining the XIMEA portfolio offer the following parameters:

245.7 Mpix, Sony IMX811, monochrome, 19200 x 12800, Medium format, BSI camera 245.7 Mpix, Sony IMX811, color, 19200 x 12800, Medium format, BSI camera (list with link to all models in original release [https://www.ximea.com/news/press-release/product-news/ximeas-new-mx2457-camera-with-sony-imx811-sensor])

Applications: Aerial mapping & beyond

The xiX-XL family excels in Photogrammetry, providing detailed, precise imagery for cartography, agriculture, and urban planning.

Further areas of application:

*
Machine vision: Various types of Inspection and quality control for PCB, FPD, Solar panels, Wafer metrology and others

*
Medical imaging: Genomics, microscopy, OCT, neuroscience and more

*
Scientific research: Space exploration, Astronomy, and various material analysis

*
Security technology: border and stadium surveillance, facial recognition

Highest 245.7 MPix resolution, detachable sensor head, attractive price and exceptional image quality make these cameras a clear choice for various applications.
