Phase One iX Controller

iX Controller MK4

Ultimate in speed and control

About

Capturing aerial data today demands fast computers optimized to work with aerial cameras and capture software. With all of the components working together, you are able to capture, monitor and store images, and adjust camera settings as conditions change.

The iX Controller MK4 is designed to enable rapid data transfer, and has the ability to control up to six Phase One aerial cameras independently. Built as a workhorse, the system boasts a small footprint and easily integrates into any aircraft.

Phase One iX Controller

Features

Acting as a central hub to Phase One Aerial Solutions, the iX Controller controls the cameras, gyro-stabilizing mount, GNSS/IMU system, and runs the iX Capture and iX Flight software. iX Controller MK 4 includes an I/O port to enable accurate activation of multiple cameras by iX Flight, which comes pre-installed on the iX Controller.

  • 8th generation Intel® Core™ i7 Processor
  • Rugged construction
  • Fan-less cooling system
  • Single power input and multiple power outputs for cameras
  • Pre-installed with iX Capture, Capture One and iX Flight*
  • Two removable SSDs with optional RAID system for data mirroring
