Networked color capture at high frame rates
Color discrimination at 312.9 fps is the defining balance of MV-CA004-10GC V3.0. A Sony IMX287 CMOS sensor provides 720 × 540 output, 6.9 × 6.9 µm pixels and a global shutter through Gigabit Ethernet. The 1/2.9-inch sensor sits behind a C-mount in a 29 × 29 × 42 mm housing, with exposure adjustable from 1 µs to 10 sec.
The global shutter and 1 µs minimum exposure support sharp sampling of quickly moving items when illumination permits, while the color output can distinguish appearance states as well as position. One opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bidirectional I/O line allow acquisition to be tied to machine timing. Power may come from PoE or 9–24 V DC, and typical draw is 3.1 W at 12 V DC.
Select MV-CA004-10GC V3.0 for color 720 × 540 imaging over a network. MV-CA004-10GM V3.0 matches its sensor, 312.9 fps rate and Gigabit Ethernet link but outputs mono. MV-CA004-10UC keeps color and raises the rate to 526.5 fps through USB 3.0 in a 30 mm-deep body. MV-CA003-20GC reaches 336 fps over Gigabit Ethernet with a smaller 672 × 512 frame.

Selection and applications
Color sorting of moving items. High-rate position verification. Triggered machine event capture.
Minimum kit: Fit a C-mount lens, connect a Gigabit Ethernet cable, and supply power through PoE or a 9–24 V DC source.
Nearby in the range: MV-CA004-10GM V3.0 — Prefer mono output with the same 720 × 540 resolution and 312.9 fps rate; MV-CA004-10UC — Prefer USB 3.0 color output at up to 526.5 fps; MV-CA003-20GC — Prefer 336 fps over Gigabit Ethernet when 672 × 512 resolution is sufficient.

FAQ
What makes this camera appropriate for motion inspection?
The Sony IMX287 uses a global shutter, reaches 312.9 fps at 720 × 540, and permits exposure down to 1 µs. Those facts support repeated snapshots of moving items with short exposure when the lighting provides enough signal.
Can power share the same connection as Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes. MV-CA004-10GC V3.0 supports PoE as well as a 9–24 V DC input. Typical consumption is 3.1 W at 12 V DC, so the installation can use a powered Ethernet path or provide power through the 6-pin Hirose connector.
How does the color model differ from its mono counterpart?
MV-CA004-10GC V3.0 is color, whereas MV-CA004-10GM V3.0 is mono. Both list the Sony IMX287, 720 × 540 resolution, 312.9 fps, 6.9 × 6.9 µm pixels and Gigabit Ethernet, making output type the documented selection difference.
Which control lines can synchronize acquisition to a machine?
The 6-pin Hirose connector carries one opto-isolated input on Line 0, one opto-isolated output on Line 1 and one bidirectional non-isolated I/O on Line 2. These documented lines provide electrical points for event input and acquisition-status signalling.
What lens mount and environmental limits apply here?
The camera takes C-mount lenses for its 1/2.9-inch sensor. With proper lens installation and wiring the housing is IP30; operation is specified from 0 to 50 °C at 20–80% RH without condensation, and the body weighs approximately 68 g.
