Capture tasks and nearby models
A tall 4096 × 3000 colour field gives this model its place in the range. MV-CT0CG0120/G places 4096 × 3000 px of colour data behind a global-shutter Stacked BSI CMOS sensor. It reaches 9.9 fps, uses 3.45 × 3.45 µm pixels across a 1.1-inch format, and sends frames over Gigabit Ethernet via the RJ45 connector.
The global shutter and 9.9 fps ceiling support large-field label review, assembly completeness and colour-region inspection, with the full field exposed on the same timing basis. Exposure extends through 10 µs to 19 µs in UltraShort mode and 20 µs to 10 s in Standard mode. 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).
For the 4096 × 3000 global-shutter position, output and transport decide among the neighbours. MV-CT0MG0120/G keeps 4096 × 3000 px and 9.9 fps but changes the output to Mono. MV-CT0CU0120/G uses USB 3.0 for 4096 × 3000 px colour capture at 31 fps. MV-CT0CG0089/G provides 4096 × 2160 px at 13.9 fps with a global-shutter colour path over Gigabit Ethernet. Retain MV-CT0CG0120/G when Color output, Gigabit Ethernet and PoE are needed together at 9.9 fps.

FAQ
Which suggested lenses cover the sensor in MV-CT0CG0120/G?
For MV-CT0CG0120/G, the C-mount matches are MVL-KF3524M-25MP and MVL-KF5024M-25MP. Their image circles cover the 1.1-inch sensor, and the 25 MP lens class is above the camera’s 4096 × 3000 px matrix. Both therefore match the stated mount, sensor coverage and resolution requirement.
How should power and cabling be arranged for MV-CT0CG0120/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 1.8 W at 12 V DC.
What data interface and peak acquisition rate does MV-CT0CG0120/G provide?
Data uses Gigabit Ethernet at 1 Gbit/s through RJ45 and remains compatible with Fast Ethernet. The stated full-frame ceiling is 9.9 fps at 4096 × 3000 Bayer GB 8. MVS and software meeting the GigE Vision protocol are supported.
How do shutter timing and exposure affect motion work with MV-CT0CG0120/G?
The CMOS sensor uses a global shutter, so all pixels share the exposure timing for moving-part capture. Full-frame rate is 9.9 fps, and the exposure range is 10 µs to 19 µs in UltraShort mode and 20 µs to 10 s in Standard mode. Trigger Width and Trigger Controlled operation are available.
Which image-reduction and I/O functions are available on MV-CT0CG0120/G?
Binning and decimation each support 1 × 1, 2 × 2 and 4 × 4 operation. 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-CT0CG0120/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.
