Imaging role and alternatives
Compact color acquisition over USB is the purpose of MV-CH250-90UC V4.0. The camera pairs a 26.2 MP Gpixel GMAX0505 global-shutter CMOS sensor with 5120 × 5120 Bayer BG 8 output at 14 fps. Its C-mount, 29 mm × 44 mm × 59 mm body, and USB 3.0 interface suit host-adjacent stations that need a dense square color image without a larger fan-cooled enclosure.
Color information supports print, label, and component checks in which hue or channel contrast is part of the decision. Global exposure preserves the geometry of indexed parts, and the 12 μs lower exposure setting can be paired with controlled illumination. USB 3.0 can power the 3.6 W camera at 5 V DC; the P7 connector is available when the station also needs isolated trigger input, output, and a bidirectional line.
MV-CH250-90UM V4.0 is the direct monochrome version at the same 14 fps and size. MV-CH250-90VC stays with color and C-mount but uses dual USB 3.0 to reach 30 fps and changes protection from IP30 to IP40. MV-CH250-90TC-M58S-NF raises color capture to 41.5 fps over 10 Gigabit Ethernet, with M58 optics and a 74 mm fan-cooled housing.

Selection and applications
Color label and print inspection. Indexed component color verification. Compact full-frame capture.
Minimum kit: Pair the camera with a C-mount lens for the 1.1-inch sensor and a USB 3.0 cable to the host; use USB power or a 12–24 V DC supply.
Nearby in the range: MV-CH250-90UM V4.0 — Prefer it for Mono 8 output at the same 14 fps USB 3.0 rate.; MV-CH250-90VC — Prefer it for 30 fps color acquisition through dual USB 3.0.; MV-CH250-90TC-M58S-NF — Prefer it for 41.5 fps color transfer over 10 Gigabit Ethernet with M58 optics..

FAQ
What color stream does MV-CH250-90UC V4.0 send over USB?
The camera outputs 5120 × 5120 Bayer BG 8 images at up to 14 fps. Capture comes from a 26.2 MP Gpixel GMAX0505 with 2.5 µm pixels and a global shutter, providing a dense square color frame over USB 3.0.
Can USB power the camera without a separate supply lead?
Yes. USB 3.0 power is supported, with typical consumption of 3.6 W at 5 V DC when the interface supplies the camera. The specification also lists a 12 V DC to 24 V DC input range for an externally powered arrangement.
Will MV-CH250-90UC V4.0 operate through a USB 2.0 host connection?
The data interface is USB 3.0 and is compatible with USB 2.0. USB 3.0 is the stated path for the 14 fps full-resolution stream and for interface power, so account for the lower USB 2.0 link capability when setting acquisition parameters.
What C-mount lens coverage is needed for the color sensor?
Choose a C-mount lens that covers the 1.1-inch sensor image circle and resolves the 2.5 µm pixel pitch across the 5120 × 5120 array. Focal length and working distance can then be set from the required object coverage.
What are the enclosure and operating limits for this USB model?
The 100 g camera measures 29 mm × 44 mm × 59 mm. IP30 applies with correct lens installation and wiring, and the stated working temperature is -10 °C to 50 °C. Humidity may range from 20% RH to 95% RH without condensation.
