Networked 4K line capture in a compact body
A 4096 × 2 CMOS line, 7 × 7 µm pixels and Gigabit Ethernet place MV-CL042-91GC in the networked 4K section of the CL Series. It reaches 28 kHz in standard operation and 80 kHz in high-bandwidth operation. The link runs at 1000 Mbit/s and remains compatible with 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet, while exposure can be adjusted from 5 µs to 10 ms.
The 4096-pixel line suits continuous surface or edge inspection that needs twice the cross-object sampling count of a 2048-pixel model. Four configurable I/O lines, with single-ended or differential signaling, can connect line timing to the transport controller. The camera occupies 62 × 62 × 41 mm, draws 6.6 W from a 12 V DC to 24 V DC supply, and carries an IP40 enclosure rating.
MV-CL042-91GM uses the same resolution, pixel pitch, network rates and housing dimensions, and its specification lists 1-Line/2-TDI imaging and 5.8 W consumption. MV-CL042-B1NC changes the transport to 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, the mount to C-mount and the pixel pitch to 3.5 µm, reaching 75.4 kHz in Bayer BRGG 8. MV-CL044-91NC provides a 4096 × 3 array and reaches 75.3 kHz at full line length.

Engineering data for this model
Calculated by the MVisionPro engineering tools from the passport data of this model for typical tasks. The figures are estimates for preliminary selection.
Engineering conclusion: At 500 mm/s and 0.1 mm longitudinal sampling, the working rate is 6000 Hz; the confirmed mode allows 28000 Hz (460 % reserve against the un-margined requirement).
Note: This comparison uses explicit two-axis sampling and the listed passport line-rate mode; it does not claim encoder or CIS sizing.

How these figures were calculated
- Assumption: Cross-web and along-motion sampling steps are distinct.
- Assumption: The working line rate includes the explicitly selected engineering margin.
- Assumption: Motion speed is constant along the selected motion axis.
- Warning: Spatial sampling is an engineering estimate; measurement performance must be confirmed by calibration.
- Assumption: A selected camera is checked only against its passport interface profile.

FAQ
What network rates and line rates apply to MV-CL042-91GC?
The camera uses 1000 Mbit/s Gigabit Ethernet and is compatible with 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet. Its listed maximum line rates are 28 kHz in standard mode and 80 kHz in high-bandwidth mode on the 4096 × 2 CMOS array.
Which optical interface should be planned for MV-CL042-91GC?
An M42*1.0 lens mount and 12 mm flange back length are built into the 62 × 62 × 41 mm body. The line-scan lens should cover the 4096-pixel sensor line and provide sufficient resolution for its 7 × 7 µm pixel pitch.
How is MV-CL042-91GC powered and connected to machine timing?
The supply range is 12 V DC to 24 V DC and stated consumption is 6.6 W. Four configurable input/output lines are available, with single-ended and differential signals supported for timing integration beside the Ethernet data link.
What temperature and enclosure limits govern MV-CL042-91GC?
Working temperature is -20 °C to 55 °C and humidity is 5% RH to 90% RH. The housing is rated IP40. The camera should therefore be installed where its temperature limits are maintained and exposure to liquids or substantial dust is controlled.
What practical difference separates MV-CL042-91GC and MV-CL042-91GM?
Both list 4096 × 2 resolution, 7 µm pixels, 28 kHz standard and 80 kHz high-bandwidth operation. Their stated consumption is 6.6 W for MV-CL042-91GC and 5.8 W for MV-CL042-91GM. MV-CL042-91GM lists 1-Line/2-TDI imaging.
