Specializing in USB3 Vision cameras, Ximea has upgraded its xiQ camera models that were using the Vita 1300 sensor by using Python 1300, a sensor from ON Semiconductor. This change resulted in a camera available with USB 3.0 that provides speeds of 210 fps at 1.3 mpix and 800 fps at VGA resolution.
The company anticipates integration of the new camera option into existing customer applications to go smoothly, since the only major change in sensor is its increased speed that went up from 150 fps at full resolution to 210 fps (with Zero ROT). This allows users to achieve more than 800 fps at VGA and even over 1000 fps with 8bit and 640 x 400.
