Ximea MC050CG-SY 5MP Color USB3 Camera Sony IMX250 CMOS Global Shutter 73 FPS 26.4 x 26.4 x 41.9 mm
The Ximea MC050CG-SY (MC050CGSY) industrial USB3 camera is equipped with a 5 Megapixel Sony IMX250 color CMOS sensor featuring Pregius™ global shutter technology. This sensor delivers a resolution of 2464 x 2056 pixels with a 3.45 µm pixel size on a 2/3" optical format, ensuring sharp, distortion-free images at high frame rates up to 73 FPS. The camera supports 8, 10, and 12-bit RAW pixel data output and leverages a USB 3.1 Gen1 interface for ultra-fast data transmission at 5 Gbit/s. Its compact 26.4 x 26.4 x 41.9 mm form factor and low power consumption of 3.1 Watts make it ideal for tight industrial environments.
Advanced features include a standard C-mount lens interface, flexible exposure times from 1 µs to 30 seconds, and multiple GPIOs for hardware synchronization and triggering. EMVA 1288 compliant results report a dynamic range of 71.1 dB, low readout noise of 2.4 electrons, and high full well capacity, enabling outstanding image quality for demanding machine vision, scientific imaging, and inspection applications. The camera is fully programmable with APIs in C++, C#, and Python and supports multiple operating systems including Windows, Linux, and macOS.
