Ximea MC203CG-SY 20.3MP Color USB3 Industrial Camera with Sony IMX541 CMOS Global Shutter, 1.1" Format, 18 FPS, 26.4 x 26.4 x 42 mm
The Ximea MC203CG-SY is a precision-engineered industrial camera featuring a 20.3MP SONY IMX541 CMOS sensor with Pregius™ global shutter technology. With a 1.1" optical format and pixel resolution of 4512 x 4512 at 2.74 µm, this camera delivers exceptional image clarity and reduced motion artifacts. Operating at up to 18 frames per second, it’s ideal for high-resolution imaging tasks that demand real-time capture. Data is transmitted via a USB 3.1 Micro-B interface at speeds up to 5 Gbit/s, while power is supplied directly through the USB cable for easy integration.
The MC203CGSY supports 8/10/12-bit pixel depths, host-based image processing, and ROI/partial readout modes for optimized bandwidth usage. With 70.4 dB dynamic range, 10000 e⁻ full well capacity, and a readout noise of just 2.3 e⁻, it ensures excellent signal integrity. The compact aluminum housing (26.4 × 26.4 × 42.0 mm) and C-mount lens interface make it suitable for embedded vision, microscopy, drone-based mapping, and machine inspection. Features like auto exposure, hot pixel correction, and flat field calibration enhance imaging performance across scientific, industrial, and portable platforms.
