Ximea MX005MG-SY-X2G2 0.5 MP Monochrome PCIe Gen 2 Camera with SONY IMX426 Sensor, Global Shutter, 752 FPS, 1/1.7" Format
The Ximea MX005MG-SY-X2G2 is a high-speed embedded monochrome camera featuring a 0.5 Megapixel SONY IMX426 CMOS sensor with global shutter technology. The sensor’s 816 x 624 resolution, large 9 µm pixel size, and 1/1.7" optical format enable exceptional image quality with a dynamic range of 71 dB. This camera achieves ultra-high frame rates of up to 752 frames per second, delivering precise motion capture and imaging for fast-moving applications. Data is transmitted through a PCIe Gen 2 interface supporting 8 Gbit/s bandwidth, ensuring minimal latency and high-throughput data transfer critical for demanding machine vision and robotics tasks.
Designed with a compact 26.4 x 26.4 x 30.9 mm standard housing weighing only 30 grams, the MX005MGSYX2G2 is ideal for embedded systems in robotics, UAV/UAS, photogrammetry, VR, and industrial automation. Its flexible hardware includes 3 GPIO inputs and outputs, hardware and software trigger capabilities, and support for continuous or burst acquisition modes. The camera’s C-mount lens compatibility and low power consumption (3.7W) further optimize it for mobile and multi-camera setups requiring precision, speed, and reliability.
