Quick Overview
Ximea MC051MG-SY-PG4 is a 5.1MP monochrome USB3 camera with Sony IMX547 CMOS sensor, global shutter at 68 FPS, 2.74 µm pixel pitch, C-mount lens, 26.4 x 26.4 x 42.14 mm housing, 3-in/3-out GPIO, and 8/10/12-bit output for high-speed industrial, scientific, and precision imaging applications.
The Ximea MC051MG-SY-PG4 (MC051MGSYPG4) is a high-performance USB3 industrial camera equipped with the Sony IMX547 Pregius™ 1/1.8" CMOS global shutter sensor, delivering sharp 5.1 Megapixel monochrome resolution at 2472 x 2064 pixels. Engineered for precision, the 2.74 µm pixel size ensures high sensitivity and low noise, ideal for detailed inspection tasks. The global shutter architecture eliminates motion artifacts, making it perfect for high-speed applications.
With a maximum frame rate of 68 FPS, 8/10/12-bit output, and support for ROI, binning, and skipping, this camera excels in speed-critical environments. The USB 3.1 Gen1 interface enables 5 Gbit/s data throughput, while the compact 26.4 x 26.4 x 42.14 mm form factor and C-mount lens interface allow seamless integration into embedded and industrial systems. Optional heatsinks, robust GPIO (3 inputs, 3 outputs), and support for Windows, Linux, and macOS platforms make it a versatile solution for machine vision, metrology, scientific imaging, and automation.
