Ximea MC245MG-SY 24.5MP Monochrome USB3 Industrial Camera with Sony IMX540 CMOS Global Shutter Sensor, 15 FPS, 26.4 x 26.4 x 42.0 mm
The Ximea MC245MG-SY industrial camera features the advanced 24.5 MP SONY IMX540 CMOS monochrome sensor with Pregius™ global shutter technology, offering exceptional image quality with minimal distortion and motion artifacts. With a native resolution of 5328 x 4608 and 2.74 µm pixel size, it delivers sharp, high-contrast images even in fast-moving environments. The camera supports 8/10/12-bit RAW output and reaches up to 15 frames per second over a high-speed USB 3.1 interface (5 Gbps), providing 4x faster data transfer than GigE and significantly outperforming legacy interfaces.
Compact at just 26.4 x 26.4 x 42.0 mm and weighing 37.5g, the MC245MG-SY fits seamlessly into space-constrained systems. Additional technical highlights include a wide spectral range (400–1000 nm), 74% peak quantum efficiency, 70.3 dB dynamic range, and low 2.3 e⁻ readout noise. The camera also supports on-chip 2x2 downsampling, ROI/Area of Interest, and hardware/software triggering, with multiple I/O options. Ideal for scientific imaging, embedded systems, machine vision, and drone-based mapping, the camera supports Windows, Linux, and macOS with SDKs in C++, C#, and Python.
