Large-format high-resolution area scan camera with an ams/CMOSIS CMV50000 global shutter CMOS sensor (4.6 um pixel). Outputs 7920 x 6004 (47.6 MP) at up to 30 fps over a CXP-6 interface (4 x 6.25 Gbps). Supports hardware trigger/free-run, pixel-by-pixel FFC, ROI, PoCXP and DC 24V power.
The iRAYPLE AX5E02MX150E is a large-format area scan camera built around the ams (CMOSIS) CMV50000 monochrome global-shutter CMOS sensor. At 47.6 MP with a horizontal resolution of 7920 px, it captures a very large pixel grid in a single exposure, which makes it suited to applications where you need to resolve fine detail across a wide field of view without stitching multiple smaller frames together. The 4.6 um pixel pitch is a practical balance for this class of large sensor: small enough to support high spatial detail, while large enough to gather a useful amount of light per pixel. Because it is a monochrome sensor, every pixel contributes to luminance detail rather than being split across a colour filter array, which generally yields higher effective spatial resolution and better low-contrast sensitivity than a colour device of the same pixel count.
The global shutter is a key characteristic for this camera. It exposes all pixels simultaneously rather than line by line, so moving parts are captured without the geometric distortion (skew, smear) that a rolling shutter introduces. Combined with a 30 fps frame rate at full resolution, this allows the camera to image objects in motion - on a conveyor, an indexing stage, or a moving inspection head - while keeping edges and features geometrically faithful, which matters for measurement and feature-position tasks.
Connectivity is over a CoaXPress (CXP-6) interface, a coaxial-cable standard designed to move the high data volumes that a sensor of this size and frame rate produces over robust, lockable cabling, while also carrying control and (where supported) power back to the camera over the same cable. The camera follows the GenICam standard, so it presents a vendor-neutral feature and control model that integrates with compliant frame grabbers and machine-vision software. It is also listed as Rosepetal-ready, indicating it is intended to work within the Rosepetal vision ecosystem for deployment of inspection and AI workflows.
Best for
High-resolution dimensional measurement and metrology where fine features must be resolved across a large field of view in a single capture
AI-based surface defect inspection on large parts, panels, or webs that benefit from many pixels of monochrome detail
Industrial OCR / OCV reading of printed or marked text and codes, where high pixel density improves character legibility
Inspection of moving or indexed parts where the global shutter prevents motion distortion at full resolution
Large-area inspection that would otherwise require stitching several lower-resolution images, reducing the number of cameras or capture positions
Selection notes
Lens selection is critical: a 47.6 MP large-format sensor demands a high-resolution lens with an image circle that covers the full sensor and resolving power matched to the 4.6 um pixel pitch. An undersized or low-MTF lens will waste the sensor's resolution and produce corner softness or vignetting.
Plan the interface around CoaXPress: you will need a CXP-6 capable frame grabber with sufficient channels and the matching coaxial cabling. Verify cable length limits for your CXP-6 data rate, and where you intend to power the camera over the coax, confirm the grabber and configuration support powering it over the interface; otherwise provision DC power separately.
Lighting should be specified for monochrome capture and for the chosen frame rate - high resolution at speed reduces per-frame exposure time, so adequate, uniform illumination is needed to keep images well exposed and low-noise. Strobed or triggered lighting synchronised to the camera trigger helps freeze motion and stabilise exposure.
Confirm software and integration fit before committing: the camera is GenICam-based and Rosepetal-ready, so check that your vision software and frame grabber are GenICam-compliant and, if relevant, that your Rosepetal deployment supports it.
If your application does not need this much resolution or large-format coverage, a smaller or lower-cost sensor on a more common interface may be easier to integrate; conversely, if you require colour imaging, choose a colour variant or a different model, since this is a monochrome camera.

Applications this camera is commonly selected for. Open one to see the full recommended hardware and approach.
Follow these steps to bring up your iRAYPLE camera, capture a first image, and move from the viewer to your own application. The flow is the same across the A, AE, AX and L series; only the physical interface differs.
Download and install the iRAYPLE machine-vision SDK together with its viewer client for your operating system. The installer provides the camera drivers, the GenTL producer, and the viewer you will use for first light. For GigE Vision models, also install or enable the bundled filter/performance driver on the network adapter to maximize throughput.
2. Connect the camera to the correct interface
Wire the camera to its matching host interface: a dedicated Gigabit (or 10 GigE) NIC for GigE Vision models, a USB3 Vision port with a quality cable for USB3 models, or a frame grabber for CoaXPress models. Power the camera (PoE, USB bus power, or PoCXP / external supply as applicable). For GigE Vision, put the NIC and camera on the same subnet and, where supported, enable jumbo frames.
3. Detect and open the camera in the viewer
Launch the iRAYPLE viewer, run device enumeration, and select your camera from the discovered list. Open it to load the device feature tree (GenICam node map). If a GigE camera is found but cannot be opened, correct the IP configuration so the camera and NIC are in the same address range.
4. Set exposure, gain and trigger, then grab a first image
Start with continuous (free-run) acquisition under stable lighting. Adjust exposure time and gain for a well-exposed, low-noise image, set the pixel format (e.g. Mono8 or a Bayer/RGB format), and tune white balance on color models. Once the live image looks correct, switch trigger mode to hardware or software trigger to synchronize capture with your process, and verify a single triggered frame.
5. Move from the viewer to the SDK or a GenICam library
With imaging confirmed, reproduce the same settings in code using the SDK's C/C++ or Python API: enumerate, open, configure the relevant GenICam features, register a frame callback or grab loop, and convert frames to your pipeline's buffer format. Since the cameras are GenICam/GenTL-compliant, you can alternatively drive them from a third-party GenICam vision library. From here a stable image stream can feed a deep-learning inspection step such as Rosepetal for automated quality control.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. It uses the ams (CMOSIS) CMV50000 global-shutter CMOS sensor, which exposes all pixels at the same instant. This avoids the motion distortion that rolling shutters cause, making it suitable for imaging parts in motion.
It is a 47.6 MP monochrome camera with a horizontal resolution of 7920 px. Being monochrome, all pixels contribute to luminance detail, which generally gives higher effective resolution and better low-contrast sensitivity than a colour sensor of the same pixel count.

It runs at 30 fps. Combined with the global shutter, this lets it capture full-resolution images of moving parts without geometric distortion.
Yes. It supports the GenICam standard, so it presents a vendor-neutral control interface that works with GenICam-compliant frame grabbers and software. It is also listed as Rosepetal-ready for use within the Rosepetal vision ecosystem.
