Aegis Electronic Group, Inc. is pleased to announce a new strategic partnership with Ximea Corporation, a German based camera manufacturer with offices in the USA and Slovaka. Aegis first garnered interest in Ximea with the introduction of their xiQ series of ultra compact USB 3.0 cameras and what we found was one of the industry’s smallest USB 3.0 camera lines packed with great features we knew our customers would find extremely useful. Supported by an extensive software library, with names like Cognex VisionPro®, National Instruments LabVIEW, Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) and others, these USB cameras are easy products to integrate into any application and users will be pleasantly surprised by the fact that they will perform seamlessly on Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Mac OS X (10.7 or 10.8) and Linux operating systems. Ximea xiQ USB 3.0 Camera Without a doubt a top contender when compared to other USB 3.0 camera brands like IDS and Point Grey, these cameras are small, fast and have one of the lowest power consumptions in the industry. (*26.4 x 26.4 x 21.2mm, 27 grams, 600fps and 1.0 to 1.8 power consumption).  Medical markets and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) markets are going to see this as an opportunity to expand their systems to higher frame rates and faster data transmission. Offering easy migration from USB 2.0 to USB 3.0, customers who want the ability to make the move from one to the other are at an advantage with this camera while any customers who prefer to stay with USB 2.0 will find the Ximea subminiature line (MU series) a perfect fit for those smaller spaces.  Features include:
  • USB 3.0 data interface that delivers up to 5 Gbps equal to 400 megapixels per second,
  • Opto-isolated trigger input,
  • Illuminator control output,
  • Non-volatile memory for user settings and custom data,
  • VGA to 4 MP resolution high-quality CMOS sensors,
  • Global shutters,
  • Frame rates up to 600 fps,
  • Improved quantum efficiency (QE) in the visible and NIR spectral ranges
  • Dynamic range up to 100 dB, and
  • Available in Black/White or Color models
