Monochrome USB capture for short events
Monochrome output at 526.5 fps gives MV-CA004-10UM its role in rapid intensity-based measurement. The global-shutter Sony IMX287 produces 720 × 540 frames with 6.9 × 6.9 µm pixels from a 1/2.9-inch sensor. Its USB 3.0 interface, C-mount and 29 × 29 × 30 mm dimensions suit a compact host-connected imaging station.
Presence, edge position and mechanical timing can be evaluated without a color-processing requirement. UltraShort exposure from 1 to 14 µs can limit movement within a frame under sufficient light; Standard exposure extends from 15 µs to 10 sec. A 6-pin Hirose connection offers isolated input and output plus one bidirectional line. USB 3.0 port power or an external 9–24 V DC source can run the 3 W camera.
Select MV-CA004-10UM for mono 720 × 540 acquisition at 526.5 fps over USB 3.0. MV-CA004-10UC holds the same Sony IMX287, resolution and rate but adds color output. MV-CA004-10GM V3.0 preserves mono imaging and changes to Gigabit Ethernet with PoE, reducing the ceiling to 312.9 fps. MV-CA016-10UM increases resolution to 1440 × 1080 while operating at 249.1 fps.

Selection and applications
High-rate monochrome presence checks. Fast edge-position measurement. Machine timing sequence analysis.
Minimum kit: Pair the camera with a C-mount lens and USB 3.0 cable, using USB 3.0 port power or an external 9–24 V DC supply.
Nearby in the range: MV-CA004-10UC — Prefer color output with the same 720 × 540 resolution and 526.5 fps; MV-CA004-10GM V3.0 — Prefer mono Gigabit Ethernet capture with PoE at 312.9 fps; MV-CA016-10UM — Prefer mono 1440 × 1080 USB 3.0 imaging at 249.1 fps.

FAQ
What motion work benefits from the global-shutter sensor?
The Sony IMX287 exposes the complete 720 × 540 frame globally and delivers up to 526.5 fps. UltraShort exposure can be set from 1 to 14 µs, providing the documented timing controls needed to sample fast position changes when sufficient illumination is available.
What power arrangements are available in a USB installation?
MV-CA004-10UM supports power from USB 3.0 and also accepts 9–24 V DC externally. Typical draw is 3 W at 5 V DC with USB power, so a host port that meets this requirement can serve both image transfer and camera power.
When should the matching color USB version be selected?
Choose MV-CA004-10UC when the inspection needs color information. It matches MV-CA004-10UM in Sony IMX287 sensor, 720 × 540 frame, 6.9 × 6.9 µm pixels, USB 3.0 interface and 526.5 fps ceiling; the listed distinction is color versus mono.
Which I/O lines can connect acquisition to machine timing?
The 6-pin Hirose connection provides one opto-isolated input on Line 0, one opto-isolated output on Line 1 and one bidirectional non-isolated I/O on Line 2. They provide separate documented paths for an event input and a status or control output.
What lens mount, dimensions and operating range apply?
A C-mount lens fits the 1/2.9-inch sensor. The body is 29 × 29 × 30 mm, weighs approximately 80 g and carries an IP30 rating with proper lens installation and wiring. Operation is specified from 0 to 50 °C at 20–80% RH without condensation.
