The Phase One iXU cameras are the world’s smallest and lightest integrated digital medium format aerial cameras.

The Phase One iXU 180, iXU 160 and iXU 160 Achromatic cameras are built to provide high resolution in a small and light camera. The CCD sensor offers up to 10,328 cross track coverage in a camera that weighs less than 950 grams. The iXU series use Schneider-Kreuznach fast sync lenses with internal electronically controlled leaf shutters to provide the image quality expected from a dedicated aerial photography camera.

  • 80 MP, 60 MP or 60 achromatic CCD sensors
  • 10,328 pixels in cross track coverage
  • Forward Motion Compensation ISO 35 to 800 (depending on model)
  • Capture rate of 1.45 to 1.6 seconds per frame (depending on model)
  • Direct connectivity with FMS, GPS/IMU
  • Files include IMU and GPS data
  • USB 3.0 connection to host computer
  • Synchronised shutter release for multiple camera installation
  • Internal storage: support up to 128 GB CF card
  • Low weight: 950 g, 1.425 kg with an 80 mm lens
  • Small footprint
  • Choice of six Schneider-Kreuznach lenses with central leaf shutters
  • Industrial designed with robust camera connectivity to stabilised mounts
  • Secure lens bayonet
  • Choice of software options

Applications

The Phase One iXU offers reliability and versatility for users looking for a full-featured medium format aerial camera. Easily integrated into existing or new setups, the camera offers maximum connectivity with systems for:

  • Mapping
  • Oil & Gas pipelines monitoring
  • Critical infrastructure inspection
  • Power line monitoring
  • Coastal surveillance
  • Wind turbine blade inspection
  • Disaster site monitoring and mapping
  • Arctic research
  • Iceberg monitoring
  • Forestry, vegetation identification, agriculture crop monitoring
  • Hydrometric mapping
  • Asset management
  • 3D modeling
  • Entertainment and game market

Multiple camera configuration

The Phase One iXU 180 features an 80 MP CCD sensor for an impressive 10,328 pixels cross-track coverage, yet is so small that its body is barely wider than its lens barrel. Weighing in at less than 950 grams, the iXU 180 can be used as a standalone photogrammetric camera, or as part of an array of multiple cameras, either to cover a larger swath or as part of an oblique camera system.

3D City Models

With the increasingly popular high-resolution 3D city models, users require medium format cameras that can be integrated into small oblique systems that can fit inside a gyro mount. Owners of ultralight planes or gyro copters are now able to build an oblique system and insert it into a smaller belly hole with less interaction with the hull of the aircraft, which means an easier path to obtaining a supplemental type certificate (STC)..

Near Infra-Red

The Phase One iXU 180 is offered with an optical glass over the sensor for Near Infra-Red applications. The camera is suited for a variety of agricultural or forestry applications including analysing illicit drug growth, determining harvesting periods, analysing crop damage caused by insects, fungus or insufficient water or nutrients in the soil.

Phase One iXU 150

The Phase One iXU 150 camera is built around a CMOS sensor offering a great combination of CMOS sensor in a medium format camera. The camera boasts 8280 pixels in cross track coverage. The sensor has 68% more capture area than any DSLR. The iXU, combined with Schneider-Kreuznach fast sync lenses with internal electronically controlled leaf shutters guarantees the image quality expected from a dedicated aerial photography camera.
