iXM-100 | iXM-50
A revolution in UAV and drone cameras
Cutting-edge medium format technology engineered for UAV-based imaging missions. The iXM 100MP and 50MP cameras for drones incorporate medium format sensors with backside illumination (BSI) technology for improved high-light sensitivity and dynamic range. Phase One iXM cameras are fast, highly responsive, and robust and are available with a range of high-resolution lenses from 35mm to 300mm. The iXM cameras are easily integrated with UAVs for diverse inspection and mapping applications.
A breakthrough camera platform
The iXM 100MP and iXM 50MP are high productivity metric cameras with a range of specially designed RSM lenses. The iXM cameras are ready for easy integration with a wide range of UAV platforms. The drone cameras deliver superior quality aerial imaging and flexible operation for diverse applications.
The 50MP sensor enables the capture of high-accuracy images and addresses the needs of smaller-scale mapping and inspection missions.
RSM lenses for iXM cameras
Five Phase One RSM lenses, with focal lengths ranging from 35mm to 300mm AF, were specifically created to fit the pixel and sensor size of the iXM cameras, while maintaining sharpness across the image. The lenses have high optical resolution, offering new uses for both inspection and mapping applications. The lenses’ integrated leaf shutter offers high capture speed for an array of flight conditions.
Storage capabilities and connectivity
The Phase One iXM 100MP and 50MP cameras support super fast storage capabilities with USB-C and 10G Ethernet connectivity to large UAVs and aircraft. Full camera control is possible – over a wireless link – for defining:
- ISO
- Shutter speed
- Aperture
- Advanced functionalities
- Focus distance
- Upload flight plans
