USB3 xiQ cameras and Spectra 3001-15 active cable make a complete USB 3.0 vision solution.
Burnaby, British Columbia – April 15, 2014 – Icron Technologies Corporation, a leader in USB and video extension technology, and XIMEA GmbH, a leading international manufacturer of high-resolution cameras and imaging solutions, today announced that Icron’s USB 3.0 Spectra™ 3001-15 active extension cable with ExtremeUSB® technology, will be shown alongside the USB3 xiQ camera family by XIMEA in booth #501 at The AIA Vision Show held April 15th-17th at the Hynes Convention Centre in Boston, MA.
XIMEA’s USB3 xiQ camera family now ranges from VGA to 4Mpix resolution with corresponding speeds of 500 frames per second (fps) and 90 fps respectively, and includes many models with extended NIR options. The xiQ camera family is based on the robust field proven architecture of direct image data delivery to the computer’s memory, totally avoiding any latency of intermediate frame buffers. This architecture also ensures low power consumption and minimum heat dissipation.
Icron’s Spectra 3001-15 USB 3.0 bus powered copper cable supports USB 3.0 cameras, such as XIMEA’s USB3 xiQ family, when vision applications call for distances greater than 3 meters. This reliable and affordable 15-meter USB 3.0 extension solution provides a full 5V, 900mA of current, features a locking connector and includes Icron’s ExtremeUSB® suite of features such as transparent USB extension, true plug and play (no software drivers) and compatibility with all major operating systems, including Windows® 8.
“The benefits of USB 3.0 including high resolution, plug and play, and affordability are well known,” said Mike Bode, CEO of XIMEA’s USA Operations. “However, USB 3.0’s distance limitation of approximately 3 meters can often be a problem for installers. We are delighted to show Icron’s 15 meter Spectra 3001-15 extension cable featuring ExtremeUSB technology at The Vision Show in Boston so that our customers can see a complete USB 3.0 solution of 15 meters.”
“XIMEA has been expanding their USB3 xiQ camera family as USB 3.0 continues to gain traction for vision applications,” said Glenn Antonelli, Vice President of Marketing at Icron. “We are very pleased that XIMEA advises their customers and installers to use our ExtremeUSB extenders when extra distance is required.”
