Ximea MC161CG-SY-HDR 16.1MP Color USB3 Industrial Camera with Sony IMX532 CMOS Global Shutter Sensor, HDR, Dual ADC, 22 FPS, 26.4 x 26.4 x 42 mm
The Ximea MC161CG-SY-HDR (MC161CGSYHDR) is a compact, high-resolution USB3 industrial camera built around the advanced 16.1 MP SONY IMX532 color CMOS sensor with Pregius™ global shutter technology. With a 5328 x 3040 pixel resolution and 2.74 µm pixel size, this 1.1” format sensor captures images at 22 frames per second with remarkable precision and low readout noise (2.3 e-). Designed for applications demanding accurate motion capture and color detail, it supports a wide spectral range from 400 to 1000 nm, with peak quantum efficiencies of 59% at 530 nm (green), 51% at 450 nm (blue), and 44% at 600 nm (red).
This USB 3.1 Gen1 camera features a Micro-B connector with screw-lock support for 5 Gbit/s data transfer, dual ADC HDR imaging, 70.3 dB dynamic range, and up to 12-bit digitization. It offers flexible exposure (17 µs to 30 s), ROI/partial readout, hardware/software triggering, and host-assisted image processing features like gamma correction, white balance, and pixel correction. Measuring only 26.4 x 26.4 x 42 mm and weighing just 37.5 grams, it’s ideal for machine vision, VR/AR, scientific imaging, and embedded systems in space-constrained environments.
