Phase One’s specialised research and development team have developed a configurable cultural heritage imaging solution that provides an ergonomic and efficient workflow, resilient hardware, and patented imaging capabilities. Their efforts have yielded the Phase One iXH camera system, designed with top quality, durability, and ease of use in mind.
Instant Capture at the Highest Resolution
The Phase One iXH 150MP is a powerful camera system that delivers the highest resolution, achieving the 300ppi benchmark for A0 size flat objects such as maps and drawings.
- Reliable, precise, and resilient
- Outstanding dynamic range
- Faster data transfer
- Flexible connectivity
Colour Accuracy and Finest Detail
The iXH 150MP camera system, equipped with a CMOS BSI sensor, offers an exceptional dynamic range of 15 f-stops. This advanced technology ensures the highest resolution, sensitivity, and minimal noise, while delivering the most precise colour rendition and detail, thanks to its upgraded electronics and processors.
The iXH 150MP Achromatic and iXH 150MP WS (Wide Spectrum) models are engineered for specialized scientific imaging, research, and the conservation of manuscripts, maps, and drawings. These cameras provide the highest resolution and class-leading spectral sensitivity. The iXH 150MP WS model, capable of capturing images in colour, UV, and IR, is the preferred choice for diverse applications, including the imaging of paintings and forensic and medical analysis. It easily transitions to a standard camera with the addition of an IR block filter.
Industrial Durability
Constructed from aerial-grade aluminium, the iXH 150MP exemplifies industrial build quality with the most robust mechanical and electronic components available. It features the mechanical Reliance Shutter, guaranteed for one million actuations, and offers an electronic shutter mode for unlimited actuations.
The camera’s newly designed housing includes an integrated heat sink and cooling fins, ensuring it remains cool, even during extended Live View operations, which results in noise-free imagery and consistent performance. Additionally, the iXH 150MP supports USB-C and 10G Ethernet connections, providing optimal data transfer rates and versatile configuration options to accommodate various workflows.
Lens Options
Phase One RS 72 mm MkII Lens
The Phase One 72 mm MkII lens is engineered to deliver premier performance and optimisation. Featuring a floating element, it enhances precision across all apertures and magnification ranges, from infinity to 1:3, ensuring exceptional image quality.
Schneider Kreuznach RS 120 mm Lens
The iXH 150MP camera system is also available with the Schneider Kreuznach 120 mm lens, renowned for its precision and quality. When used with the 21 mm and 42 mm extension tubes, this lens allows for high-resolution close-ups, which are ideal for capturing small objects and digitising film. These combinations achieve magnifications of approximately 1:1, maintaining excellent sharpness and a flat field across the entire image frame.
The two lenses allow flat copy and film work to meet the demands of libraries, archives, and universities. The lenses keep the colour uniformity required for the most demanding reproduction applications.
