Applications for the IMX296 GigE variant
The Sony® IMX296 gives MV-CS016-10GC a 1440 × 1080 color image with global-shutter timing. Its 1/2.9-inch CMOS sensor uses 3.45 µm pixels and delivers 1.6 MP at up to 65.2 fps over Gigabit Ethernet. UltraShort exposure begins at 1 µs, and the 74 dB dynamic range supports scenes that contain different signal levels. This combination emphasizes added image detail while keeping a moving-part frame rate above 60 fps.
The camera can inspect color-coded assemblies, locate printed features, and check part position on a conveyor where a lower-resolution image does not provide enough samples. Global exposure preserves moving geometry, while the 1440 × 1080 grid gives measurement and recognition algorithms a denser edge map. PoE permits data and power on one network link; alternatively, the Hirose connection accepts 9–24 V DC and exposes three I/O lines for station timing.
MV-CS016-10GM matches the IMX296, 1440 × 1080 and 65.2 fps over Gigabit Ethernet, with a specification set oriented to the paired variant. MV-CS016-11GM uses the IMX273 and raises the GigE rate to 78.2 fps with Mono output. MV-CS016-10UC keeps color, moves to the IMX273 and USB 3.0, and reaches 249.1 fps. Pick this camera when IMX296 color capture, PoE and 65.2 fps align with the inspection.

FAQ
What detail level does the 1440 × 1080 image provide?
The 1440 × 1080 frame is the stated 1.6 MP class. It offers more sampling in both axes than the 1280 × 1024 MV-CS013-80GC, while MV-CS016-10GC maintains a 65.2 fps ceiling for inspections that combine feature detail with part motion.
How does UltraShort exposure work on MV-CS016-10GC?
UltraShort exposure covers 1 µs to 14 µs. Standard exposure continues from 15 µs to 10 sec. With the IMX296 global shutter, the short range can arrest rapid motion when lighting supplies sufficient signal during the selected interval.
Can PoE replace a separate camera power cable for this model?
Yes. MV-CS016-10GC supports PoE over Gigabit Ethernet. It can also be powered from 9–24 V DC through the 6-pin Hirose connector. Typical consumption is 2.5 W at a 12 V DC supply point.
What I/O lines are exposed on the Hirose connector?
The 6-pin connector provides one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bidirectional non-isolated I/O. These lines can electrically associate image acquisition with a machine signal or another device in the inspection sequence.
Which housing and environmental limits apply to MV-CS016-10GC?
The C-mount camera measures 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm and weighs approximately 100 g. IP40 protection applies with correct lens installation and wiring, and the specified working range is –30 °C to 60 °C.
