High-detail mono tasks and range position
Monochrome detail at 29.4 fps is the working point of the MV-CS120-10UM V5.0. A 12.2 MP Sony® IMX226 rolling-shutter CMOS sensor supplies 4024 × 3036 Mono 8 images through USB 3.0. The 1/1.7-inch format uses 1.85 µm pixels and provides 70.5 dB dynamic range. Exposure from 12 µs to 1 sec and gain from 0 dB to 24 dB allow the acquisition to be set for the available light and permitted object movement.
Fine edge measurement, small-feature detection and high-detail surface inspection can use the mono array without color interpolation. The 29.4 fps ceiling supports repeated observations where the rolling-shutter timing is compatible with the motion. USB 3.0 can carry both the image data and the 5 VDC supply; external 9 VDC to 24 VDC power and three I/O lines are available at the 6-pin P7 connector. The C-mount housing is 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm.
MV-CS120-10UC V5.0 keeps the same resolution and frame rate but records Bayer RG 8 color for hue-dependent decisions. MV-CS120-10GM V5.0 remains mono at 4024 × 3036 and exchanges USB for Gigabit Ethernet with PoE, reducing the maximum to 10 fps. MV-CS200-10UM moves to 5472 × 3648 mono sampling over USB 3.0 and reaches 19.2 fps, trading some sequence speed for a larger pixel array.

Selection and applications
Fine mono edge measurement at 4024 × 3036. USB-powered small-feature detection at 29.4 fps. High-detail surface inspection with 1.85 µm pixels.
Minimum kit: MV-CS120-10UM V5.0 camera, a C-mount lens, a USB 3.0 cable, and either USB 3.0 power or a 9 VDC to 24 VDC supply through the 6-pin P7 connector form the minimum operating set.
Nearby in the range: MV-CS120-10UC V5.0 — Prefer it when Bayer RG 8 color is needed at the same 4024 × 3036 and 29.4 fps.; MV-CS120-10GM V5.0 — Prefer it when mono capture requires Gigabit Ethernet and PoE.; MV-CS200-10UM — Prefer it when 5472 × 3648 mono sampling outweighs the reduction to 19.2 fps..

FAQ
What mono frame rate is sustained at full 4024 × 3036?
The maximum listed rate is 29.4 fps at 4024 × 3036 in Mono 8. Images come from the 12.2 MP Sony® IMX226, a rolling-shutter CMOS device with 1.85 µm × 1.85 µm pixels. The data path is USB 3.0, with USB 2.0 operation also listed.
How is power arranged when USB cabling is already present?
USB 3.0 may supply the camera directly; typical consumption is 1.4 W at 5 VDC in this mode. External power from 9 VDC to 24 VDC can instead enter through the 6-pin P7 connection, which also contains the isolated input, isolated output and bidirectional non-isolated I/O.
What makes the 1.85 µm pixel format useful for measurement?
The sensor samples 4024 × 3036 with 1.85 µm pixels and provides a Mono 8 stream. That combination supports intensity-based edge and small-feature analysis when the selected C-mount lens transfers the required detail across the 1/1.7-inch image area.
What constraints follow from the rolling-shutter readout?
Rows are exposed by a rolling shutter, so target displacement during capture has to fit the measurement tolerance. Exposure can be shortened toward 12 µs when lighting allows, and the machine can use the P7 I/O for coordination. The full-array sequence limit is 29.4 fps.
When does the 20 MP USB mono neighbour make sense?
MV-CS200-10UM records 5472 × 3648 Mono 8 at 19.2 fps using the Sony® IMX183, while this model records 4024 × 3036 at 29.4 fps using the Sony® IMX226. Both use USB 3.0 and C-mount. Select the 20 MP model when its larger pixel array matters more than sequence rate.
