Ximea MC081MG-SY-PG4 8.1MP Monochrome USB3 Camera with Sony IMX546 CMOS Global Shutter Sensor, 44 FPS, 26.4 x 26.4 x 42.14 mm
The Ximea MC081MG-SY-PG4 is a compact industrial USB3 camera equipped with a monochrome 8.1 Megapixel Sony IMX546 CMOS sensor, delivering exceptional imaging precision with a resolution of 2856 x 2848 pixels and a 2.74 µm pixel size. The camera utilizes a global shutter architecture, making it ideal for high-speed motion capture with minimal distortion. Supporting 44 frames per second at full resolution, it provides a balanced combination of speed and detail. Integrated features include 10 µs to 30 s exposure range, EMVA 1288-compliant analog gain up to 24 dB, and support for 8, 10, and 12-bit RAW digital output.
Built for performance-critical environments, the camera features a USB 3.1 Micro-B interface with screw-lock threads, delivering 5 Gbit/s data throughput. Its 26.4 x 26.4 x 42.14 mm standard housing, C-mount compatibility, and optional heatsink make it suitable for embedded systems, automation, and VR/AR applications. Additional capabilities include on-chip downsampling/decimation, hardware/software triggering, hot pixel correction, and GPIO with 6 I/O channels. Compatible with Windows, Linux, and macOS, the MC081MG-SY-PG4 is ideal for machine vision, life sciences, 3D scanning, and inspection systems.
