XIMEA, a leader in advanced imaging solutions, has expanded its xiX-XL camera series with the release of a new medium format camera built around Sony’s groundbreaking IMX811 sensor. Offering a class-leading resolution of 245.7 megapixels, this model sets a new benchmark in digital imaging.
The MX2457 model integrates a high-speed PCIe interface, enabling swift, real-time data transfers that are essential for applications requiring accuracy and performance. With the IMX811’s exceptional detail capture and sensitivity, this camera is ideally suited to detailed inspection, textural analysis, and aerial surveying.
Core Benefits:
• Unmatched Image Quality: With an effective resolution of 19,200 x 12,800 pixels, the MX2457 achieves 245.7 MP, making it ideal for 3D terrain modelling, photogrammetry, and high-end visual mapping.
• BSI Sensor Design: The use of backside illumination pushes quantum efficiency past 80%, significantly outperforming conventional front-illuminated sensors, especially in low-light settings.
• High-Speed Transfer: The camera handles more than 10 frames per second at full resolution using a 32 Gbps interface—perfect for high-volume image processing environments.
• Compact Form for Medium Format: Despite the sensor’s 64 mm diagonal, the camera’s front face remains at a compact 80 x 80 mm, providing flexibility for tight integration.
• Advanced PCIe Gen 3 Interface: Direct memory access (DMA) enables ultra-low latency performance, reduced CPU demand, and effortless multi-camera configuration—even across longer distances.
• Detachable Sensor Module: The sensor head is separated from the main body to reduce heat exposure, supporting better image clarity and enabling deployment in space-limited or heat-sensitive environments.
• Efficient Cooling Options: The standard fan module offers robust heat management, while an optional liquid cooling unit can be used for vibration-free operation and superior temperature control.
• Lens Mount Flexibility: Initially supporting M72 mechanical and EF active mounts, the system will soon accommodate active Hasselblad mounts, allowing full remote control of focus, aperture, and stabilisation.
