High-rate 4K mono positioning
High line rate is the distinguishing feature of MV-CL042-91CM-V2: a 4096 × 2 mono CMOS camera that reaches 40.5 kHz in Base, 81 kHz in Medium, 162 kHz in Full and 195 kHz in 80-bit Camera Link operation. The array uses 7 µm pixels. An SDR connector carries Camera Link data, and a dedicated USB interface is retained for firmware updates.
The 195 kHz ceiling addresses fast-moving mono inspection where the transport direction needs dense line sampling and a Camera Link receiver is available. Lower link modes allow the same camera to operate with less acquisition bandwidth. The 62 mm × 62 mm × 36.9 mm body uses an M42*1.0 optical thread at 12 mm flange focal length; F-mount, C-mount and other lens families can be fitted through adapters.
MV-CL042-91CM shares the 4096 × 2 mono geometry but stops at 100 kHz in Full mode, making V2 the rate-oriented selection. MV-CL042-91CC is the color Camera Link counterpart and also tops out at 100 kHz. MV-CL042-91FM combines 4096 × 2 mono capture with an LC fiber connector, reaches 195 kHz in 1-Line mode and supports 2-TDI at 100 kHz.

Selection and applications
High-speed 4K mono scanning. Camera Link capture at 195 kHz. Fast moving-surface inspection.
Minimum kit: Build the station around the MV-CL042-91CM-V2, an M42*1.0 line-scan lens or adapted optic, a Camera Link cable and matching frame grabber, and a suitable camera power source.
Nearby in the range: MV-CL042-91CM — Prefer it when a 100 kHz Full-mode ceiling is sufficient; MV-CL042-91CC — Prefer it when 4096 × 2 Camera Link acquisition must be color; MV-CL042-91FM — Prefer it for 195 kHz mono acquisition through an LC fiber connector.

FAQ
Which mode unlocks the 195 kHz rate on MV-CL042-91CM-V2?
The highest listed rate, 195 kHz, belongs to 80-bit operation. Full configuration reaches 162 kHz, Medium reaches 81 kHz and Base reaches 40.5 kHz. The receiving Camera Link hardware must support the mode chosen for the target rate.
What lens connection is provided on MV-CL042-91CM-V2?
MV-CL042-91CM-V2 uses an M42*1.0 mount with a 12 mm flange focal length. C-mount, F-mount and other lenses can be attached through a suitable adapter, with coverage and resolution selected for the 4096 × 2 array and 7 µm pixels.
How are image data and firmware handled on MV-CL042-91CM-V2?
Image data uses Camera Link through an SDR connector. USB is provided for firmware updating, not as the stated acquisition transport. A working system therefore needs the appropriate Camera Link receiver and cable for its Base, Medium, Full or 80-bit configuration.
How compact is the MV-CL042-91CM-V2 camera body in an installation?
Its enclosure measures 62 mm × 62 mm × 36.9 mm, matching the footprint of the related MV-CL042-91CM. The integration envelope must also include the selected M42*1.0 optic or adapter and clearance for the SDR connection.
Does MV-CL042-91CM-V2 provide color acquisition at its top rate?
No. MV-CL042-91CM-V2 is a mono camera with a 4096 × 2 CMOS array. For color at the same resolution and Camera Link family, MV-CL042-91CC is the related choice, but its listed maximum is 100 kHz rather than 195 kHz.
