The Omron STC-MBS500U3V USB 3.0 monochrome camera offers precision imaging performance, powered by the Sony IMX264 2/3” 5.1-megapixel CMOS sensor. With a progressive scan global shutter, it ensures distortion-free capture of fast-moving subjects. The active pixel array delivers 2448 (H) x 2048 (V) resolution, while each pixel measures 3.45 µm, providing exceptional detail and clarity.
This versatile camera supports adjustable frame rates of up to 35.8 fps at 8/10/12-bit depths, including packed modes for optimized data transfer. Advanced noise control minimizes signal disruption, achieving ≤3 LSBs for 8-bit and ≤48 LSBs for 12-bit outputs at 0 dB gain. A broad exposure time range, spanning from 27.2 microseconds to 56 seconds, accommodates diverse lighting scenarios.

Key imaging enhancements include programmable gamma (0.1–4.0), pixel defect correction for up to 64 points, and flexible region of interest (ROI) adjustment with step-specific offsets. Gain controls feature analog (0–20.8 dB) and digital (0–6 dB) configurations for tailored sensitivity. Binning and decimation options refine image scaling, while flip modes (horizontal, vertical, or both) expand usability.

Engineered for streamlined integration, the Omron STC-MBS500U3V supports USB3 Vision® 1.0.1 and GenICam protocols over a USB 3.0 Micro B interface, ensuring compatibility with modern vision systems. GPIO interfaces provide flexible I/O control, while operational modes include free-run and multiple triggering options. With a low typical power consumption of 2.8 W at +5V input, this camera is ideal for demanding industrial and scientific applications.
