Color inspection with the IMX273
Color imaging from the Sony IMX273 is central to MV-CA016-10GC V3.0. The 1/2.9-inch CMOS sensor combines 1440 × 1080 resolution, 3.45 µm × 3.45 µm pixels and a global shutter with 78.2 fps at full output. Images are transferred through Gigabit Ethernet. The C-mount body measures 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm and weighs approximately 68 g.
The color output supports classification by visible appearance, while the global shutter and exposure settings from 1 µs to 10 sec permit synchronized imaging of moving parts. One opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bidirectional non-isolated line provide trigger and event connections. The camera accepts 9–24 V DC or PoE, with typical consumption of 3 W at 12 V DC.
MV-CA016-10GM V3.0 shares the IMX273, 1440 × 1080 resolution and 78.2 fps link but records monochrome output, so it fits brightness and geometry analysis. MV-CA013-A0GC is color and slightly faster at 92.8 fps, though its resolution is 1280 × 1024. MV-CA020-10GC V3.0 raises color resolution to 1624 × 1240 while reducing speed to 60 fps. Choose MV-CA016-10GC V3.0 for the intermediate resolution-rate combination with color and PoE.

FAQ
What does the Sony IMX273 configuration provide in this camera?
The Sony IMX273 is listed as a 1/2.9-inch CMOS sensor with 3.45 µm × 3.45 µm pixels. In MV-CA016-10GC V3.0 it produces color images at 1440 × 1080 and up to 78.2 fps using a global shutter.
Can this model capture moving objects with a short exposure?
Yes. The sensor uses a global shutter, and the exposure range begins at 1 µs and extends to 10 sec. Its maximum rate is 78.2 fps at 1440 × 1080, supporting synchronized color observations of moving objects.
Which power and data arrangement minimizes camera-side wiring?
The Gigabit Ethernet interface supports PoE, allowing power and image data to share the network cable. A separate 9–24 V DC supply is also supported. Typical consumption is 3 W at 12 V DC.
What protection and temperature limits apply during operation?
The camera operates from 0 °C to 50 °C and from 20% RH to 80% RH without condensation. Its enclosure is rated IP30 when the lens and wiring are properly installed, so the camera belongs in a protected location away from water.
When is MV-CA020-10GC V3.0 the more suitable color alternative?
MV-CA020-10GC V3.0 provides 1624 × 1240 color images at 60 fps using a 1/1.7-inch Sony IMX430 sensor. Prefer that resolution when the extra sampling matters more than the 78.2 fps rate of MV-CA016-10GC V3.0.
