Omron STC-MCS231U3V: 2.35 MP Sony IMX249 CMOS, global shutter, USB 3.0, high frame rates, customizable ROI, and low power for industrial and high-speed imaging. NDAA Compliant

The Omron STC-MCS231U3V is a high-performance 2.35 Megapixel color image sensor featuring a 1/1.2” Sony IMX249 sensor with global shutter technology. Designed for industrial and scientific applications, this camera supports a progressive scanning system, ensuring sharp, detailed images with minimal motion blur. The sensor boasts a high resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels (5.86 µm pixel size) and operates at maximum frame rates of 41.6 fps at 8bit output, 32.4 fps at 12bit output in full scanning mode.

Key features include multiple ROI (Region of Interest) modes, allowing flexible image size and area selection. In ROI mode, it achieves up to 99.7 fps at 640 x 480 resolution, making it ideal for high-speed imaging needs. Sensitivity is rated at 1160 Lux typical, delivering exceptional clarity in various lighting conditions. The electronic shutter supports exposure times from 33.12 µs to 104.3 sec, giving precise control over image exposure.

Connectivity is through USB 3.0, providing a super-speed interface for rapid data transfer. The camera operates with a low power consumption of less than 3.0W and is compatible with a variety of triggers, including edge-preset and pulse width. Additional features include automatic and manual white balance, pixel defect correction (up to 64 pixels), and environmental protection against vibration and shock. The camera is housed in a compact C-mount form factor, weighing just 48g, and supports temperatures from 0ºC to 60ºC for robust performance in industrial settings.
