Ximea MC124CG-SY-PG4-HDR 12.4MP Color USB3 Camera with SONY IMX535 CMOS Global Shutter Sensor, 29 FPS, 26.4 x 26.4 x 42.14 mm
The Ximea MC124CG-SY-PG4-HDR is a high-resolution industrial USB3 vision camera engineered with the Sony IMX535 12.4 Megapixel CMOS sensor, providing 4128 x 3008 resolution and advanced Pregius™ global shutter technology. With a pixel size of 2.74 µm on a 1/1.1" sensor, this model delivers exceptional detail and low noise, capturing full-frame color images at 29 FPS. It supports 8-, 10-, and 12-bit output with on-chip decimation and region of interest (ROI), optimizing both bandwidth and field of view control for high-precision inspection, metrology, and tracking systems.
This USB 3.1 Gen 1 camera offers a 5 Gbps data interface, dual ADC architecture, and a low-power compact housing of 26.4 x 26.4 x 42.14 mm, weighing just 35.9 grams. It includes 3 input and 3 output GPIOs, C-mount lens support, hardware/software triggering, and field-upgradable firmware. Featuring automatic gain, exposure, and white balance adjustments, host-side processing options, hot pixel correction for up to 5000 coordinates, and broad OS compatibility (Windows, Linux, Mac), the MC124CGSYPG4HDR is optimized for machine vision, medical imaging, aerial mapping, and broadcast-grade applications.
