HIKROBOT MV-CH250-25TC-M58S-NF — Area Scan Cameras
25 MP, OnSemi PYTHON25K, 10GigE, M58, Color, 40 fps

The color member of the PYTHON25K-based 10GigE family, the MV-CH250-25TC-M58S-NF delivers 5120 × 5120 (25 MP) images in Bayer RG 8 at 40 fps. The OnSemi PYTHON25K global shutter CMOS sensor’s 4.5 μm pixels provide 41 dB SNR and 58 dB dynamic range, with gain from 0 to 15 dB and exposure from 45 μs to 10 s. What distinguishes the color version is its range of pixel formats: alongside Bayer RG 8/10/10p/12/12p it can output Mono 8/10/12, YUV422Packed, YUV422_YUYV_Packed, RGB 8 and BGR 8.
Connection is over 10 Gigabit Ethernet; up to 100 metres without a relay and compatibility with Gigabit Ethernet mean the color stream travels over standard network cabling. Power and I/O share the 12-pin P10 connector: 9–24 VDC (typically 12.5 W at 24 VDC), an opto-isolated input and output, a bi-directional line and RS-232. Gain and exposure are set automatically or manually, LUT and Gamma manually; the fan-equipped M58 body (74 × 74 × 72.7 mm, about 550 g, 11.48 mm flange) is IP40 rated and complies with GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam.

Where it is used
It targets wide-area inspections where color information and high resolution are needed together: color consistency and print defect checks on printed packaging and large labels, verification of multi-color PCB and connector assemblies, and pattern inspection on textiles and decorative surfaces. 40 fps is enough to classify across a large field in one frame on moving lines, and RGB 8 or YUV output completes the color conversion in the camera itself.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
