Ximea CB120CG-CM 12.5 MP Color PCIe Camera with CMOSIS CMV12000 Sensor, Global Shutter, 138 FPS, APS-C Format

Quick Overview
12.5 MP color CMOS camera with CMOSIS CMV12000 sensor, global shutter, 138 FPS, PCIe Gen2 x4 interface, 22 x 16 mm APS-C sensor area, and compact 60 x 60 x 36 mm housing. Ultra-low latency and ideal for VR, aerial mapping, and industrial automation.

The Ximea CB120CG-CM is a high-performance industrial camera engineered for demanding imaging environments. Featuring a 12.5 Megapixel CMOSIS CMV12000 color sensor with global shutter technology, this model delivers sharp, motion artifact-free imaging at up to 138 frames per second. With an active sensor area of 22 x 16 mm (APS-C) and 5.5 µm pixel pitch, the camera provides exceptional detail, dynamic range (56.9 dB), and color accuracy (peak QE up to 41%).

Its PCI Express Gen2 x4 interface enables ultra-fast data throughput of up to 16 Gbit/s, with minimal CPU load and latency, thanks to direct-to-memory DMA transfer. The compact 60 x 60 x 36 mm housing simplifies multi-camera synchronization, making it ideal for 360° VR, panoramic capture, and machine vision setups. With advanced image control—like ROI readout, HDR, hot pixel correction, and auto exposure—the CB120CGCM is purpose-built for industrial automation, broadcasting, UAV imaging, and medical research.
