USB acquisition and model context
Aptina AR0521 imaging at 2592 × 1944 and 44.7 fps places MV-CE050-30UC between the 1280 × 1024, 89.9 fps MV-CE013-80GC V3.0 and the 3072 × 2048, 42.7 fps MV-CE060-10UM. The 1/2.5-inch sensor feeds USB3.0 and remains compatible with USB2.0. A C-mount and a short 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm body define the optical and mechanical integration points.
The resolution and capture rate support dimensional checks, feature localisation and repeated views of moderately paced parts. USB3.0 can also power the camera, reducing a bench or embedded station to one host cable for image transfer and supply. Where machine signals are needed, the 6-pin Hirose connector provides one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bidirectional non-isolated I/O.
MV-CE050-31GC V3.0 uses the same Aptina AR0521 size and 2592 × 1944 resolution, but moves to Gigabit Ethernet, 24 fps and a documented rolling shutter. MV-CE060-10UM increases sampling to 3072 × 2048 while retaining USB3.0 and 42.7 fps. MV-CE013-80GC V3.0 trades resolution down to 1280 × 1024 for a global shutter and 89.9 fps color capture over Gigabit Ethernet.

Selection and applications
Dimensional checks at 2592 × 1944. USB-powered inspection stations. Moderate-rate feature localisation.
Minimum kit: Start with the MV-CE050-30UC, a C-mount lens, a USB3.0 cable, and either USB3.0 bus power or a 12 VDC supply.
Nearby in the range: MV-CE050-31GC V3.0 — Prefer it for the same 2592 × 1944 resolution over Gigabit Ethernet at 24 fps.; MV-CE060-10UM — Prefer it for 3072 × 2048 USB3.0 imaging at 42.7 fps.; MV-CE013-80GC V3.0 — Prefer it for 89.9 fps color capture with a global shutter at 1280 × 1024..

FAQ
What image rate is available at the stated 2592 × 1944 resolution?
The maximum frame rate is 44.7 fps with a 2592 × 1944 image array. This balance supports repeated inspection frames while retaining more spatial samples than MV-CE013-80GC V3.0 and MV-CE013-80GM V3.0 at 1280 × 1024.
Can the USB3.0 connection power MV-CE050-30UC directly?
Yes. The power arrangement supports supply from USB3.0, with consumption listed as 2.5 W at 5 VDC. A 12 VDC supply is the other stated power route, while the same USB interface remains compatible with USB2.0.
Which lens mount and sensor format govern optical selection?
MV-CE050-30UC accepts C-mount optics and uses a 1/2.5-inch Aptina AR0521 sensor. Select a C-mount lens with image coverage for at least that sensor format and resolving performance appropriate to 2592 × 1944 capture.
How can the camera connect to external machine signals?
A 6-pin Hirose connector exposes one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bidirectional non-isolated I/O. These paths allow the camera station to exchange electrically defined signals with surrounding equipment.
What mounting environment matches the compact USB housing?
The body measures 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm and weighs 56 g. It carries an IP30 rating and is specified for operation from 0 °C to 50 °C at 20% RH to 80% RH, with storage from -30 °C to 70 °C.
