Applications and positioning
High-cycle colour detection with a compact pixel matrix defines this configuration. MV-CT0CG0004/G combines a Stacked BSI CMOS sensor, global shutter, 720 × 540 px colour output and 200.5 fps. Its 6.9 × 6.9 µm pixels occupy a 1/2.9-inch sensor, while Gigabit Ethernet carries the image stream through the RJ45 connector.
The global shutter and 200.5 fps ceiling support presence sensing, coarse colour sorting and orientation checks on fast-moving items, with the full field exposed on the same timing basis. Exposure extends through 23 µs to 10 s. Trigger Width and Trigger Controlled modes allow exposure to follow external timing. The 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm (1.1" × 1.1" × 1.7") body accepts C-mount optics. IP40 protection applies with proper lens installation and wiring, and the working range is –30 °C to 60 °C (–22 °F to 140 °F).
Its closest neighbours separate output type, image scale and frame rate. MV-CT0MG0004/G keeps 720 × 540 px and 200.5 fps but changes the output to Mono. MV-CT0CG0016/G provides 1440 × 1080 px at 78.2 fps with a global-shutter colour path over Gigabit Ethernet. MV-CT0MG0016/G provides 1440 × 1080 px at 78.2 fps with a global-shutter monochrome path over Gigabit Ethernet. Retain MV-CT0CG0004/G when Color output, Gigabit Ethernet and PoE are needed together at 200.5 fps.

FAQ
Which suggested lenses cover the sensor in MV-CT0CG0004/G?
For MV-CT0CG0004/G, the C-mount matches are MVL-KF1628M-12MP and MVL-KF5024M-25MP. Their image circles cover the 1/2.9-inch sensor, and the 12 MP and 25 MP lens classes are above the camera’s 720 × 540 px matrix. Both therefore match the stated mount, sensor coverage and resolution requirement.
How should power and cabling be arranged for MV-CT0CG0004/G?
The camera accepts 9 V DC to 24 V DC and also supports PoE. The RJ45 connector carries Gigabit Ethernet; the 8-pin M8 A-Code connection provides DC power and I/O when separate power is used. Consumption is typically 1.6 W at 12 V DC.
What data interface and peak acquisition rate does MV-CT0CG0004/G provide?
Data uses Gigabit Ethernet at 1 Gbit/s through RJ45 and remains compatible with Fast Ethernet. The stated full-frame ceiling is 200.5 fps at 720 × 540 Bayer GB 8. MVS and software meeting the GigE Vision protocol are supported.
How do shutter timing and exposure affect motion work with MV-CT0CG0004/G?
The CMOS sensor uses a global shutter, so all pixels share the exposure timing for moving-part capture. Full-frame rate is 200.5 fps, and the exposure range is 23 µs to 10 s. Trigger Width and Trigger Controlled operation are available.
Which image-reduction and I/O functions are available on MV-CT0CG0004/G?
Binning and decimation are not supported on this configuration. Horizontal and vertical reverse-image output is available. The 8-pin M8 A-Code I/O provides one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bidirectional non-isolated line for sequencing.
What enclosure conditions and temperature range apply to MV-CT0CG0004/G?
Operation is rated from –30 °C to 60 °C (–22 °F to 140 °F), with 20% RH to 95% RH (no condensation). The housing is 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm (1.1" × 1.1" × 1.7") and weighs approximately 116 g (0.3 lb.). Its IP40 rating applies under proper lens installation and wiring, so the station must provide conditions consistent with that protection level.
