Networked color inspection at 12.2 MP
Detailed color imaging over a network is the purpose of the MV-CS120-10GC V5.0. Its 12.2 MP Sony® IMX226 rolling-shutter CMOS sensor records 4024 × 3036 Bayer RG 8 images at up to 10 fps. The 1/1.7-inch sensor uses 1.85 µm pixels, with 69.4 dB dynamic range, exposure from 33 µs to 2 sec and gain from 0 dB to 20 dB. Gigabit Ethernet operates at 1000 Mbit/s and remains compatible with 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet.
The combination is suited to color and print verification, label inspection and detailed appearance checks where image content takes precedence over rapid sequences. PoE enables power and data on the Ethernet run, while a 9 VDC to 24 VDC alternative is available through the 6-pin P7 connector. The same connector exposes isolated input and output plus a bidirectional non-isolated line. A C-mount fits the 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm camera body.
MV-CS120-10GM V5.0 preserves the 4024 × 3036 resolution, 10 fps rate and Gigabit Ethernet link but provides Mono 8 output. MV-CS120-10UC V5.0 keeps color at the same resolution and raises the maximum to 29.4 fps through USB 3.0. If lower spatial sampling is acceptable for a faster networked color sequence, MV-CS060-10GC operates at 3072 × 2048 and 19.1 fps over Gigabit Ethernet.

Selection and applications
Networked color inspection at 4024 × 3036. PoE print and label verification. Detailed Bayer RG 8 appearance checks at 10 fps.
Minimum kit: MV-CS120-10GC V5.0 camera, a C-mount lens, a Gigabit Ethernet cable, and either PoE or a 9 VDC to 24 VDC supply through the 6-pin P7 connector form the minimum operating set.
Nearby in the range: MV-CS120-10GM V5.0 — Prefer it for Mono 8 output with the same 4024 × 3036, 10 fps and Gigabit Ethernet configuration.; MV-CS120-10UC V5.0 — Prefer it for 4024 × 3036 color acquisition at 29.4 fps through USB 3.0.; MV-CS060-10GC — Prefer it when 3072 × 2048 color at 19.1 fps meets the networked inspection task..

FAQ
What color resolution and rate are carried over Gigabit Ethernet?
The camera delivers Bayer RG 8 color frames at 4024 × 3036 and up to 10 fps. Its link is Gigabit Ethernet at 1000 Mbit/s, with 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet also supported. The imaging sensor is the 12.2 MP Sony® IMX226 with a rolling shutter.
Can the network cable also power the 12.2 MP camera?
Yes, PoE is supported, allowing the Ethernet connection to carry both power and data. The other supply route is 9 VDC to 24 VDC through the 6-pin P7 connector. Typical power consumption is 1.5 W at 12 VDC when the listed external operating point is used.
What lens coverage is required for the Sony® IMX226 format?
Select a C-mount lens that covers the 1/1.7-inch sensor and can make use of 1.85 µm pixels across 4024 × 3036. The camera carries an IP40 rating under proper lens installation and wiring, so the fitted lens and cable arrangement are part of the mechanical integration.
How should motion be treated at 10 fps with a rolling shutter?
The Sony® IMX226 uses a rolling shutter, and the full-resolution sequence rate is 10 fps. For objects that move during exposure, use station timing and an exposure toward the 33 µs end of the available 33 µs to 2 sec range when lighting allows. This limits motion during row-by-row capture.
When is the USB color neighbour a better technical match?
MV-CS120-10UC V5.0 records the same 4024 × 3036 Bayer RG 8 format at up to 29.4 fps and uses USB 3.0. Select that model when the higher full-frame sequence rate and a host-local USB connection are required; retain this camera when Gigabit Ethernet and PoE define the station.
