XIMEA's xIQ First USB 3.0 Camera to Support Linux

XIMEA has added Linux compatibility to the world’s smallest world’s smallest industrial USB 3.0 camera – the xiQ series – measuring just 26.4 x 26.4 x 19.1 mm, or or 13cm2 compared to competing solutions that require 25cm2.

The xiQ series industrial-grade cameras (see ximea.com) now come standard with support software for systems running Linux 3.3 kernels and above, including Linux Unbutu distribution.

Contrary to reports from competing USB 3.0 cameras, the xiQ series, measuring just 26.4 x 26.4 x 19.1 mm and weighing a mere 26, is significantly smaller than competing solutions that measure 29 x 29 x 30 mm. XIMEA achieves this compact size by designing the xiQ on a single PCB board, compared to three separate boards for competing solutions. This, coupled with low power and an complimentary APIs for dozens of the machine vision industry’s most popular image processing programs means that xiQ can greatly simplify OEM efforts to integrate imaging sensors into larger manufacturing, medical, security, and medical systems.

The xiQ series USB3.0 industrial camera from XIMEA GmbH delivers up to 5 Gbps of data, enabling image transfers of up to 400 megapixels per second (Mpix/s), opto-isolated trigger input and illuminator control output, and on-board non-volatile memory for user settings and custom data.

xiQ cameras offer up to 4 Mpix, global shutters, frame rates up to 600 fps, and improved quantum efficiency (QE) in the visible and NIR spectral ranges. All XIMEA’s cameras ship with application programming interfaces (APIs) for the most common image processing software, including programs from Cognex, Matrox, National Instruments, MVTec, and many more.
