Speed, motion and range position
High-rate monochrome acquisition is the defining role of MV-CA016-10UM. Its Sony IMX273 CMOS sensor combines a 1440 × 1080 output, 3.45 µm pixels and a global shutter with 249.1 fps at full resolution in mono 8. Exposure extends from a 1 µs UltraShort setting to 10 sec in standard mode, while USB 3.0 carries the image stream.
The global shutter and 249.1 fps ceiling suit capture of rapidly moving parts, indexing mechanisms and repeated position checks where sequential frames must preserve object geometry. USB 3.0 can also power the camera, reducing the basic connection to one data-and-power lead. A 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm body and C-mount support integration into restricted machine space.
MV-CA020-10UM V2.0 raises resolution to 1624 × 1240 but reaches 89.1 fps, so select it when added image detail outweighs rate. MV-CA020-10UC V2.0 provides the same 1624 × 1240 USB format in color. MV-CA017-10GM moves acquisition to Gigabit Ethernet and uses 9 µm pixels at 68.5 fps; MV-CA016-10UM is the choice among these when USB connectivity and the highest listed full-frame rate take priority.

Selection and applications
High-rate capture of moving parts at 249.1 fps. Monochrome position checks at 1440 × 1080. Short-exposure acquisition down to 1 µs.
Minimum kit: The minimum imaging kit is MV-CA016-10UM, a C-mount lens, a USB 3.0 cable, and USB 3.0 power or a 12 V DC supply.
Nearby in the range: MV-CA020-10UM V2.0 — Prefer it for 1624 × 1240 monochrome USB capture at up to 89.1 fps.; MV-CA020-10UC V2.0 — Prefer it when color output and 1624 × 1240 resolution are required over USB 3.0.; MV-CA017-10GM — Prefer it for Gigabit Ethernet, 9 µm pixels and operation at up to 68.5 fps..

FAQ
What motion performance does the global shutter provide at full resolution?
The camera reaches 249.1 fps at 1440 × 1080 in mono 8. Its CMOS global shutter exposes the frame at once, making that combination suited to repeated capture of moving parts without the geometric skew associated with sequential row exposure.
How short can exposure be for rapidly moving or strobed subjects?
UltraShort exposure mode covers 1 µs to 14 µs, while standard exposure runs from 15 µs to 10 sec. This split allows very brief capture windows for motion and also supports substantially longer integrations when the scene is stationary.
Can MV-CA016-10UM receive operating power through its USB connection?
Yes. The power specification supports supply through USB 3.0, with typical consumption of 2.8 W at 5 V DC. A separate 12 V DC input is also listed, allowing the power arrangement to follow the host connection and I/O design.
What lens interface and sensor coverage should the optical design use?
The camera has a C-mount and a 1/2.9-inch sensor with 3.45 µm × 3.45 µm pixels. Lens selection should therefore start with C-mount optics whose image circle covers that sensor format and whose focal length matches the required scene width.
Which trigger and output signals are available on the camera connector?
The 6-pin Hirose connector carries power and I/O. It 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 for trigger or synchronized peripheral control.
