Basler has expanded its CXP-12 galaxy lineup by introducing eight new boost camera models tailored for ultra-fast applications. These additions complement the extensive range of high-speed cameras and components available in the CXP-12 ecosystem, offering advanced features for demanding industrial use cases.

High Performance at Full Resolution

The new single- and dual-channel cameras leverage cutting-edge Sony sensors to deliver exceptional performance:

  • IMX535, IMX536, and IMX537 global shutter CMOS sensors (Sony 4th generation Pregius S)
  • IMX421 sensor (Sony 3rd generation)

All models achieve up to 400 fps at full resolution while maintaining resolutions of up to 12 MP. These cameras provide an outstanding price-to-performance ratio, reducing overall system costs when paired with compatible interface cards and accessories. Notably, Basler is the first company to release CoaXPress 2.0 cameras featuring all high-speed variants of Sony’s Pregius S sensors.

Simplified Integration for High-Speed Applications

Users benefit from streamlined workflows through access to compatible vision components sourced from a single provider: cameras, lenses, interface cards, frame grabbers, cables, lighting solutions, and more. New additions to the CXP-12 portfolio include:

  • Boost cameras with Sony IMX535, IMX536, IMX537, and IMX421 sensors supporting speeds up to 400 fps (both monochrome and color) for enhanced data throughput
  • Evaluation kits designed for rapid testing and integration
  • High-performance cables rated at 20–30 meters with optional drag-chain compatibility

Ideal Applications

These high-speed cameras are engineered for precision tasks across multiple industries:

  • Electronic component inspection and semiconductor manufacturing
  • Traffic technology (ITS) systems
  • Fast-sorting automation processes

Advanced System Integration Capabilities

The new CXP-12 products integrate seamlessly with the pylon Camera Software Suite SDK, enabling multi-camera and multi-card applications. Basler’s specialized interface cards—available in 1-, 2-, or 4-channel configurations—are designed exclusively for boost cameras, offering an attractive bundled pricing solution.

*Compatible configurations include:

  • Multiple cameras (including mixed monochrome/color sensor setups)
  • Optimized system scaling to fully utilize CMOS sensor capabilities

This flexibility allows users to build custom solutions aligned with specific requirements while maintaining superior performance compared to traditional systems like Camera Link or CoaXPress 1.1.1, which lack efficient scaling potential.

Upgrade Pathways: Modernizing Your Vision Systems

Basler provides straightforward pathways for system upgrades:

  • System optimization: Replace existing CXP 1.1.1/CMV12000 cameras with two new boost models featuring IMX535 sensors to enhance image quality while adhering to current standards
  • Protocol migration: Seamlessly transition from Camera Link or CoaXPress 1.x systems to the latest CXP-2 architecture

The combination of reduced hardware complexity, minimal integration effort, and competitive pricing positions these cameras as an economical solution for high-performance applications. The synergistic pairing of boost cameras with multichannel interface cards delivers exceptional value for budget-conscious projects requiring significant processing power.
