Ximea MC031CG-SY 3.1MP Color USB3 Camera with Sony IMX252 Global Shutter Sensor 116 FPS 26.4 x 26.4 x 41.9 mm
The Ximea MC031CG-SY is a high-speed USB 3.1 industrial camera equipped with a 3.1 MP SONY IMX252 color CMOS sensor featuring Pregius™ global shutter technology. Delivering a resolution of 2064 x 1544 pixels with a pixel size of 3.45 µm, it supports up to 116 frames per second at full resolution, ensuring fast and accurate capture of high-motion or detailed scenes. The camera outputs 8, 10, or 12-bit RAW pixel data with a wide spectral response from 400–1000 nm, delivering a high dynamic range of 71.1 dB and low readout noise of just 2.3 e⁻ for outstanding image quality in challenging environments.
Compact and lightweight (26.4 x 26.4 x 41.9 mm, 37.5 g), the MC031CGSY is engineered for embedded and space-constrained systems. It includes advanced features such as ROI readout, image sharpening, gamma correction, flat field correction, and host-assisted color processing. With a USB 3.1 Micro-B interface supporting 5 Gbit/s data rates, standard C-mount compatibility, and exposure control ranging from 1 µs to 30 s, this camera is ideal for use in machine vision, medical imaging, 3D scanning, UAV photogrammetry, AR/VR capture, and scientific applications.
