Phase One iXM-RS280F
280 MP large-format aerial cameraRGB · Optional 4-BAND configurationiXM-RS280F creates a 280 MP central-projection image from two 150 MP nadir images. BSI CMOS sensors and dual 90 mm lenses deliver highly detailed aerial imaging over large areas.

Capture large areas in high detail.
Central projection
Two nadir images are converted into one 20150 × 14118 pixel central-projection image.
RGB and 4-BAND
The 4-BAND option supports different spectral outputs with an additional NIR sensor and lens.
Short exposure
A leaf shutter up to 1/2000 second aims to reduce motion blur during aerial imaging.

Camera and aerial system are separate configurations
Camera specifications, PAS 280 MK2 system information and iX Controller MK5 specifications appear under separate headings in the technical section.
