IDS NXT malibu: Now with 4K streaming at 30 fps thanks to Sony Starvis 2 sensor!
Market launch IDS NXT malibu with IMX678 plus software release 4.1, e.g. for MJPEG compressed streaming
AI-based image processing, video compression, streaming - and all of this directly in and output from the camera: this combination makes IDS NXT malibu so special. A new camera model and the IDS NXT 4.1 software release are the next highlights in our product line for intelligent image processing.
Starting now, the AI-capable industrial camera is available with the 8 MP Sony rolling shutter sensor IMX678 from the Starvis 2 series. This means top image quality and exceptional low-light performance - and the ability to stream live in 4K from the camera. As such, the new model is particularly suitable for use in twilight or poor light conditions.
All IDS NXT malibu variants benefit from the IDS NXT 4.1 software release. One new feature is the option to display live images from the camera via an MJPEG-compressed HTTP stream. This enables visualization in any web browser without additional software or plug-ins. Compressed RTSP video streams via H.264 are now available in full sensor resolution. In addition, individual neural networks can be trained as required with the AI vision studio IDS lighthouse for the Ambarella SoC of the IDS NXT malibu camera family. This simplifies use for classification, object detection and anomaly detection.
IDS NXT malibu - On-Camera AI + Compression + Streaming!
New: 4K streaming in perfect image quality directly from the camera
Having launched the IDS NXT malibu series with the onsemi AR0521 sensor, IDS is now adding to the range: The camera is now also available with the Sony Starvis 2 sensor IMX678 for streaming in 4K! This means even more detail and even better image quality - and extends the scope of applications, especially in the low-light range.
Consumer technology meets industrial expertise: There is more packed in there!
A new class of intelligent industrial cameras has emerged from the collaboration of IDS and Ambarella: IDS NXT malibu combines perfect image quality + On-Camera AI + video compression + streaming. All this is performed directly in and output from the camera.
IDS is the first company to offer this special chip - previously known from action cameras - for use in industrial applications. An integrated ISP with helpful automatic features, such as for brightness, noise, and colour correction, draws the optimum image quality. Look forward to impressive images and videos - and even more. For further information on new software highlights relating to IDS NXT malibu, please refer to the Release 4.1 tab.
AI and ISP "on the edge": Evaluations & Visualisations without a PC
The camera operates as an "Edge Device" and enables compressed video streams (H264) with full sensor resolution at high speed (> 25 fps) and their output on end devices via RTSP protocol.
In addition, the camera live images can be displayed for visualisation per MJPEG stream directly in any web browser (without AI overlay) - via HTTP and not requiring any additional software!
"With IDS NXT malibu, we have developed a camera series that analyses images in real-time and can integrate results directly. This makes it suitable, for example, for applications that require a live image with AI overlay," explains Kai Hartmann, Product Innovation Manager at IDS.
