Ximea MC124CG-SY 12.3MP Color USB3 Camera with SONY IMX253 CMOS Global Shutter Sensor, 30 FPS, 26.4 x 26.4 x 42 mm
The Ximea MC124CG-SY industrial camera delivers 12.3 megapixels of crisp, high-speed imaging powered by the SONY IMX253 1.1" CMOS sensor with global shutter technology. Engineered for demanding vision applications, the camera captures full-resolution 4112 x 3008 images at 30 FPS over a USB3 interface, achieving data throughput of 5 Gbit/s. With a compact 26.4 x 26.4 mm footprint and low 3.4 W power draw, it’s ideal for embedded and space-constrained systems.
Designed with Pregius™ sensor technology, the MC124CGSY ensures exceptional image quality with low readout noise (2.4 e-), high dynamic range (70.9 dB), and a full well capacity of 9900 e-. The camera supports 8/10/12-bit RAW output, ROI, binning, skipping, and advanced image processing such as auto gain, auto exposure, and host-assisted flat field corrections. Integrated GPIO, robust USB3 Micro-B interface with locking screws, and standard C-mount optics make integration straightforward in machine vision, robotics, broadcasting, and scientific imaging.
