Where this color GigE model fits
High-speed color capture over a network interface is the role of MV-CS004-11GC. Its Sony® IMX287 1/2.9-inch CMOS sensor has a global shutter, 6.9 µm pixels and 720 × 540 Bayer RG 8 output. At full stated format it reaches 312.9 fps over Gigabit Ethernet. Exposure spans 1 µs to 10 sec, covering both short moving-part acquisitions and longer stationary observations within the same 0.4 MP platform.
Use this camera where a line controller must associate color or position with rapidly passing objects while retaining Ethernet cabling. PoE allows the network path to carry camera power, and the P7 port provides isolated input and output plus a bidirectional line for electrical coordination. The small frame reduces data per image, making the model more about reaction speed and repeated observations than fine feature measurement.
MV-CS004-11GM matches the 312.9 fps rate and Gigabit Ethernet interface but records Mono 8, so select it when intensity contrast is the useful signal. MV-CS004-10UC keeps color and the IMX287 yet raises speed to 526.5 fps through USB 3.0. MV-CS004-10GC is the slower 125.2 fps color GigE option with an IMX297 sensor. This model occupies the middle speed point while retaining PoE network integration.

Selection and applications
Networked color inspection at 312.9 fps. Global-shutter checks of rapid part motion. PoE camera stations with external timing.
Minimum kit: MV-CS004-11GC, a C-mount lens, a Gigabit Ethernet cable, and either PoE or a 9–24 V DC source.
Nearby in the range: MV-CS004-11GM — Prefer it for Mono 8 acquisition at the same 312.9 fps rate.; MV-CS004-10UC — Prefer it when USB 3.0 and a 526.5 fps color ceiling suit the station.; MV-CS004-10GC — Prefer it for 125.2 fps color capture with the Sony® IMX297..

FAQ
Does MV-CS004-11GC provide color at its stated frame rate?
Yes. The output is color, and the maximum rate is 312.9 fps at 720 × 540 in Bayer RG 8. That pairing supports rapid checks based on both geometry and visible color, provided the target feature is large enough for the 0.4 MP frame.
What are the power options for the Gigabit Ethernet version?
PoE is supported for power over the Ethernet connection. A 9–24 V DC input is also available through the 6-pin P7 connector. Typical consumption is 2.4 W at 12 V DC, which can be used when sizing the station supply.
How short can exposure be when parts are moving quickly?
Exposure begins at 1 µs and extends to 10 sec. Together with the global shutter, the short end is applicable to fast motion when illumination provides enough signal, while longer settings are available for static or slowly changing scenes.
What timing connections does the 6-pin P7 port provide?
The port includes one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bidirectional non-isolated I/O. This set permits a sensor or controller to coordinate acquisition and allows the camera to return an electrical event to other station hardware.
What mechanical and temperature limits apply to this camera?
The C-mount body is 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm and approximately 100 g. It is specified for –30 °C to 60 °C operation and has IP40 ingress protection when the lens and wiring are installed correctly.
