Resolution-speed balance and applications
A 1936 × 1464 image at up to 132.2 fps places MV-CS028-10UM between low-resolution high-speed capture and slower high-detail inspection. Its 2/3-inch Sony IMX421 CMOS sensor has a global shutter and 4.5 × 4.5 µm pixels. USB3.0 carries the image stream, with USB2.0 interoperability available for host connection.
This combination fits moving-part inspection, orientation checks and feature tracking where both frame cadence and a multi-axis pixel grid matter. The C-mount supports optics for the 2/3-inch sensor. A 29 × 29 × 30 mm, 80 g IP40 body works from -30 to 60 °C. One isolated input, one isolated output and one bidirectional I/O provide electrical connection to machine events.
MV-CU020-90UM runs slightly faster at 150.2 fps and uses 2048 × 1200 resolution, trading vertical pixels for a wider image shape. MV-CA016-10UC reaches 249.1 fps at 1440 × 1080, while MV-CS050-10UM increases detail to 2448 × 2048 but runs at 60 fps. MV-CS028-10UM is the intermediate choice when 1936 × 1464 detail and a rate up to 132.2 fps are both required.

Selection and applications
Moving-part feature tracking. High-rate orientation checks. Machine-signal I/O connection.
Minimum kit: The minimum kit is MV-CS028-10UM, a C-mount lens, a USB3.0 cable, and a 9–24 V DC power supply.
Nearby in the range: MV-CU020-90UM — Prefer it for 2048 × 1200 resolution at up to 150.2 fps; MV-CA016-10UC — Prefer it when the 249.1 fps ceiling outweighs its lower 1440 × 1080 resolution; MV-CS050-10UM — Prefer it when 2448 × 2048 detail matters more than a rate above 60 fps.

FAQ
How does MV-CS028-10UM balance resolution against speed?
The camera combines 1936 × 1464 resolution with a maximum rate of 132.2 fps. It therefore retains more spatial samples than the lower-resolution high-speed models while sustaining a three-digit full-frame acquisition rate.
Why is the IMX421 global shutter relevant to inspection?
The Sony IMX421 is specified as a CMOS global-shutter sensor. A simultaneous frame exposure supports geometric and position measurements on moving parts, while its pixel pitch is 4.5 × 4.5 µm.
What external power arrangement does this USB camera require?
The data interface is USB3.0 with USB2.0 interoperability, while the stated power input is 9–24 V DC and consumption is 2.8 W. Plan the data cable and DC power connection as separate parts of the installation.
Which optical format matches the 2/3-inch sensor area?
Fit a C-mount lens with an image circle that covers the 2/3-inch sensor. Optical resolution, focal length and working distance should be chosen around the 1936 × 1464 sampling grid and required object field.
What electrical I/O and environmental limits are available?
The camera provides one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bidirectional non-isolated I/O. Its IP40 housing is specified from -30 to 60 °C and for 20–95% RH.
