XIMEA Introduces World-Leading 245MP Camera with Sony IMX811 BSI Sensor

Renowned for its innovation in high-performance imaging, XIMEA has added a new powerhouse to its xiX-XL line – a medium format camera equipped with Sony’s 4.1” IMX811 sensor, now the highest resolution model available at an astounding 245.7 megapixels.

Designated the MX2457, this camera model uses a high-speed PCIe interface to deliver real-time data transfer, meeting the needs of data-intensive applications. With its remarkable detail and light-handling capabilities, the Sony IMX811 sensor is ideal for texture mapping, surface inspection, and aerial survey work.

Technical Highlights:

Maximum Resolution: Capturing images at 19200 x 12800 pixels, the 245.7 MPix output ensures exceptional clarity. This makes it particularly suited for advanced mapping and 3D modelling projects such as videogrammetry.

Superior BSI Technology: The sensor’s backside illumination allows for over 80% quantum efficiency—far surpassing traditional front-illuminated alternatives—resulting in clearer, crisper images in low-light conditions.

Lightning-Fast Throughput: With a data transfer rate exceeding 10 full frames per second via a 32 Gbps interface, this model supports time-sensitive imaging tasks in production and inspection lines.

Compact, Medium Format Build: Despite its large 64 mm diagonal sensor size, the camera retains a front profile of approximately 80 x 80 mm, allowing easy installation and space-saving integration into complex systems.

Robust PCIe Gen 3 Interface: Leveraging DMA (Direct Memory Access) technology, the camera ensures seamless, low-latency data handling with minimal CPU load, ideal for long-distance setups and multi-camera configurations.

Detachable Sensor Module: The design includes a separated sensor head, reducing heat buildup near the sensor and allowing flexible positioning within tight or temperature-sensitive environments.

Advanced Cooling Solutions: Standard cooling is handled by a rear-mounted fan. For vibration-sensitive applications, an optional water-cooled system is available to provide further thermal control.

Flexible Lens Mount Support: Initially supporting M72 mechanical and active EF lens mounts, XIMEA plans to expand compatibility to include active Hasselblad mounts with remote aperture, focus, and stabilisation control.

Model Options:

Applications Across Industries:

XIMEA’s new flagship camera is a game-changer in photogrammetry, delivering ultra-detailed imagery for urban planning, topographic mapping, and agriculture.

Additional use cases include:

  • Industrial inspection – for semiconductors, solar panels, and electronics

  • Medical imaging – including genomics, microscopy, and neural imaging

  • Scientific research – such as materials science, astronomy, and deep space observation

  • Security technology – facial recognition, stadium surveillance, and border control

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