Square-format high-rate applications
A square 2048 × 2048 color frame at 90.1 fps is the central engineering feature of MV-CS040-A0UC. Its 1-inch CMOS sensor combines 5.5 µm pixels with a global shutter and Bayer GB 8 output. USB 3.0 transports the 4.2 MP stream, while compatibility with USB 2.0 leaves a lower-bandwidth connection path for applications that do not use the full acquisition rate.
The square view suits inspection where horizontal and vertical coverage are equally important, including component placement, orientation and color-state checks. The 90.1 fps full-frame rate provides the acquisition timing for successive moving items. Exposure starts at 30 µs, hardware timing uses the opto-isolated input and output, and USB 3.0 can supply camera power at the host connection.
MV-CS040-A0UM keeps the 1-inch format, square resolution and 90.1 fps but outputs Mono 8 for grayscale measurement. MV-CS050-80UC V5.0 provides color at 80 fps with a wider 2448 × 2048 frame and a 2/3-inch SS sensor. MV-CS050-10UC uses a Sony® IMX264 at that wider resolution and reaches 60 fps; select it when rectangular 5 MP coverage takes priority over the 90.1 fps square frame.

Selection and applications
High-rate square-view color inspection. Moving component placement checks. Color-state and orientation verification.
Minimum kit: Use the MV-CS040-A0UC camera, a C-mount lens covering its 1-inch sensor, a USB 3.0 cable, and USB 3.0 bus power or a 9 VDC to 24 VDC supply.
Nearby in the range: MV-CS040-A0UM — Choose it for 2048 × 2048 Mono 8 imaging at the same 90.1 fps rate.; MV-CS050-80UC V5.0 — Choose it for a wider 2448 × 2048 color frame at 80 fps.; MV-CS050-10UC — Choose it for Sony® IMX264 color imaging at 2448 × 2048 and 60 fps..

FAQ
What makes the MV-CS040-A0UC image format different in this group?
It produces a square 2048 × 2048 Bayer GB 8 color image rather than a wider rectangular frame. The active device is a 1-inch global-shutter CMOS sensor with 5.5 µm × 5.5 µm pixels and 59.7 dB dynamic range.
At what rate can MV-CS040-A0UC capture the complete image?
The maximum stated rate is 90.1 fps at the full 2048 × 2048 Bayer GB 8 format. That operating point combines 4.2 MP square coverage with the global shutter for repeated capture of moving items.
Does the USB cable also power the MV-CS040-A0UC camera?
USB 3.0 power supply is supported, with typical consumption of 2.4 W at 5 VDC. The camera can alternatively accept 9 VDC to 24 VDC. Its data interface is USB 3.0 and is compatible with USB 2.0.
How should a lens be selected for the 1-inch MV-CS040-A0UC sensor?
Fit a C-mount lens with an image circle that covers the 1-inch sensor. Optical resolution should suit 5.5 µm pixels and the 2048 × 2048 frame; focal length follows the required square scene coverage and working distance.
What temperature and enclosure limits apply to MV-CS040-A0UC?
Operation is specified from –30 °C to 60 °C and storage from –30 °C to 70 °C. Humidity is 20% RH to 95% RH without condensation. IP40 applies with correct lens installation and wiring.
