Monochrome USB applications and choices
Monochrome measurement at 2448 × 2048 is paired with a 74 fps USB 3.0 stream in MV-CH050-10UM. Its Sony IMX250 sensor has a 2/3-inch optical format, 3.45 µm pixels and a global shutter. The combination favors intensity, edge and surface analysis in a compact station where image transfer and power can share the USB connection.
The simultaneous exposure of the global shutter supports dimensional checks and defect detection on moving components. UltraShort settings from 1 µs to 14 µs address fast motion, while the standard range continues from 15 µs to 10 sec. The 6-pin P7 connector supplies isolated input and output lines for a sensor and light, plus a bidirectional line.
MV-CH050-10UC V4.0 is the color counterpart at 74.1 fps, retaining the IMX250 and USB 3.0. MV-CH050-60NM changes to a Stacked BSI sensor and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet at 60 fps. MV-CH050-90Y1M-NN reaches 164 fps through CoaXPress. Select MV-CH050-10UM for the IMX250 monochrome image and direct 74 fps USB path.

Selection and applications
Monochrome dimensional checks over USB. Short-exposure inspection of moving components. Intensity-based surface defect detection.
Minimum kit: MV-CH050-10UM, a 2/3-inch C-mount lens, a USB 3.0 cable, and either USB 3.0 bus power or a 9 V DC to 24 V DC supply form the minimum imaging set.
Nearby in the range: MV-CH050-10UC V4.0 — Choose it when color is required at 74.1 fps over USB 3.0.; MV-CH050-60NM — Choose it for monochrome 2448 × 2048 acquisition at 60 fps over 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet.; MV-CH050-90Y1M-NN — Choose it for monochrome 2448 × 2048 acquisition at 164 fps over CoaXPress..

FAQ
What type of inspection benefits from the monochrome IMX250?
The 2448 × 2048 monochrome output is suited to edge location, dimensional checks and intensity-based surface inspection. Its global shutter and 74 fps rate also support targets moving through a triggered station.
Can MV-CH050-10UM run from USB power alone in a station?
USB 3.0 power is supported, and typical consumption is 3.5 W at 5 V DC. The camera can instead accept 9 V DC to 24 V DC, allowing the power arrangement to follow the machine wiring.
Which optical interface and sensor format must the lens match?
A C-mount lens is required for the 2/3-inch sensor. It should cover the full optical format and resolve the 3.45 µm pixel pitch across 2448 × 2048 without limiting the required measurement detail.
What exposure controls are available for motion and long integration?
UltraShort exposure covers 1 µs through 14 µs, while standard exposure extends from 15 µs to 10 sec. The global shutter keeps the geometry simultaneous at either setting; illumination determines how short the useful exposure can be.
How is external triggering connected on MV-CH050-10UM?
The P7 6-pin connector includes one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bidirectional non-isolated line. It can therefore link a part detector, trigger signal and illumination timing to acquisition.
