Ximea MC051CG-SY-PG4 5.1MP Color USB3 Camera with Sony IMX547 Global Shutter, 68 FPS, C-Mount, 26.4x26.4 mm
The Ximea MC051CG-SY-PG4 is a high-performance industrial USB3 vision camera featuring the 5.1 Megapixel SONY IMX547 CMOS sensor with Pregius™ global shutter technology, delivering crystal-clear images at up to 68 frames per second in full resolution (2472 x 2064). Its compact design (26.4 x 26.4 x 42.14 mm), 1/1.8" optical format, and 2.74 µm pixel size make it ideal for applications requiring precision, speed, and integration flexibility. With 8, 10, and 12-bit RAW data output, advanced host-based image processing features, and support for ROI, binning, and skipping, it delivers exceptional imaging performance for real-time analysis.
Equipped with a USB 3.1 interface supporting 5 Gbit/s bandwidth, this camera includes a secure USB3 Micro-B connector, C-mount lens interface, and extensive I/O options (3 inputs, 3 outputs). It supports auto-exposure, auto gain, and white balance, while enabling trigger-based synchronization and onboard hot pixel correction. Compatible across Windows, Linux, and macOS systems, the MC051CGSYPG4 is purpose-built for demanding applications like machine vision, 3D scanning, VR/AR, medical imaging, photogrammetry, and scientific research.
