Omron STC-MCS500U3V 2/3″ 5.1 MP USB3 Vision Color Camera with Sony IMX264 Global Shutter CMOS Sensor, C-Mount

The Omron STC-MCS500U3V is a compact 2/3″ 5.1 megapixel industrial USB3 Vision camera built around the Sony IMX264 global shutter CMOS sensor for distortion-free capture of fast-moving targets. It delivers a native resolution of 2448 (H) × 2048 (V) with 3.45 µm pixels and supports 8/10/12‑bit output, including packed Bayer formats, enabling sharp, detailed imagery in demanding machine vision environments.​

Engineered for reliability in production and inspection systems, the STC‑MCS500U3V offers full-frame rates up to 35.8 fps over a robust USB 3.0 interface with USB bus power (≤3.4 W), simplifying integration and cabling. Advanced features such as wide exposure range, analog and digital gain control, flexible ROI, decimation, image flipping, and defective pixel correction enhance image quality and processing efficiency while supporting deployment in North American and global automation lines.

Features:

• 5.1 MP resolution – 2448 × 2048 active pixels with 3.45 µm pitch for detailed inspection images
• Sony IMX264 sensor – 2/3″ global shutter CMOS for distortion-free capture of moving objects
• USB3 Vision interface – USB 3.0 connection with USB3 Vision 1.0.1 protocol and GenICam compatibility
• 35.8 fps full frame – Stable frame rate at all supported bit depths (8/10/12‑bit, packed and unpacked)
• Wide exposure control – Adjustable exposure from 27.2 µs to 56 s for bright to low-light scenes
• Flexible gain settings – Analog gain up to about 20 dB and digital gain up to ×2 for sensitivity tuning
• Configurable ROI – Adjustable region of interest for reduced data volume and higher processing throughput
• Image processing tools – Horizontal/vertical flip, decimation, and up to 64‑point defective pixel correction
• Multiple trigger modes – Free‑run, edge preset trigger, pulse width trigger, and start/stop trigger support
• Low power, compact body – USB bus‑powered, ≤3.4 W, in a 28 × 28 × 40 mm C‑mount housing (~48 g)
