Ximea MX161CG-SY-X4G3-FF 16.1 MP Color Camera with Sony IMX532 CMOS Sensor, Global Shutter, 160 FPS, PCIe 3.0 x4, 32 Gbit/s
The Ximea MX161CG-SY-X4G3-FF is a compact, high-performance industrial camera equipped with the Sony IMX532 16.1 MP CMOS sensor, leveraging Pregius S global shutter technology to deliver true-to-life color images at a rapid 160 FPS. With a resolution of 5328 x 3040 pixels, 2.74 µm pixel pitch, and a 1.1" optical format, this camera achieves exceptional image clarity and dynamic range (72.65 dB), making it ideal for precision imaging tasks. It supports RAW output in 8, 10, and 12-bit formats and includes Dual ADC, backside illumination, and host-based image processing for advanced imaging fidelity.
This model uses a PCIe Gen3 x4 interface to transmit data at ultra-fast 32 Gbit/s, with latency-free direct memory access and synchronization options for multi-camera setups. The removable head design ensures heat is managed away from sensitive components. With GPIO (6-in / 6-out), exposure control from 5 µs to 30 s, and robust support for SDKs (C++, C#, Python) across Windows, Linux, ARM, and Jetson platforms, the MX161CGSYX4G3FF is optimized for use in VR/AR, aerial mapping, robotics, quality inspection, and cinematic broadcasting.
