XIMEA is showing a new machine vision camera, the MX1048, at VISION 2026, built around Sony's IMX927 sensor, a 105.5-megapixel global shutter chip with 10,272 x 10,272 pixels and a 2.74-micrometre pixel pitch in a Type 2.5 inch format. Running live at booth 10D50, the camera reaches 56 frames per second and connects over PCIe Gen 4 x4, writing image data directly into a host computer's memory without a separate frame grabber card.
The MX1048 ships with an active Canon RF mount, so focus and aperture are controlled from software over the camera's own connection instead of a separate lens controller box. It is one configuration of a wider platform: XIMEA's xiAPI SDK covers Sony's entire 2.7 UHS Series global shutter line, spanning 12 to 105 megapixels, so a customer can move to a different resolution without reintegrating drivers or software.
Alongside the MX1048, XIMEA is showing a camera built on USB 3.2, transferring data at 10 or 20 Gbit/s over a single USB-C cable that also carries power, four times faster than existing USB3 cameras. Behind that interface sit the same 2.7 UHS Series sensors as the MX1048, plus new rolling-shutter sensors up to 245.7 megapixels, all addressed through the same xiAPI SDK. For integrators, the appeal is fewer parts: a camera that plugs into a USB port already on the host system, without a frame grabber or additional network hardware. Cutting that hardware out lowers the cost of scaling a machine vision line into higher resolutions.
XIMEA is also showing xiCube, a modular connector system linking its cameras to NVIDIA Jetson-based edge AI platforms and single-board computers such as Raspberry Pi, alongside a concept camera built for drone and airborne imaging and mapping. The company tailors cameras across its lineup with board-level versions and custom optics for OEM customers. New sensor models have also become available across the existing xiX-XL and xiX-Xtreme camera series, both built on a detachable sensor head design over a PCIe Gen 3 interface.
