Position in the camera range
Dense colour sampling in a 1/1.56-inch optical format defines this rolling-shutter branch. MV-CT0CG0120/R combines a Stacked BSI CMOS sensor, rolling shutter, 4096 × 3024 px colour output and 9.9 fps. Its 2 × 2 µm pixels occupy a 1/1.56-inch sensor, while Gigabit Ethernet carries the image stream through the RJ45 connector.
The rolling shutter directs MV-CT0CG0120/R toward stationary board review, indexed component inspection and fine colour-feature capture, where motion during sensor readout can be controlled. Exposure extends through 26 µs to 10 s. Off, Once and Continuous exposure modes set the available acquisition behaviour. 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).
The surrounding CT models make the selection trade clear. MV-CT0MG0120/R keeps 4096 × 3024 px and 9.9 fps but changes the output to Mono. MV-CT0CG0120/G provides 4096 × 3000 px at 9.9 fps with a global-shutter colour path over Gigabit Ethernet. MV-CT0CG0200/R provides 5472 × 3648 px at 5.9 fps with a rolling-shutter colour path over Gigabit Ethernet. Retain MV-CT0CG0120/R when Color output, Gigabit Ethernet and PoE are needed together at 9.9 fps.

FAQ
Which suggested lenses cover the sensor in MV-CT0CG0120/R?
For MV-CT0CG0120/R, the C-mount matches are MVL-KF3524M-25MP and MVL-KF5024M-25MP. Their image circles cover the 1/1.56-inch sensor, and the 25 MP lens class is above the camera’s 4096 × 3024 px matrix. Both therefore match the stated mount, sensor coverage and resolution requirement.
How should power and cabling be arranged for MV-CT0CG0120/R?
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 1.4 W at 12 V DC.
What data interface and peak acquisition rate does MV-CT0CG0120/R 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 × 3024 Bayer BG 8. MVS and software meeting the GigE Vision protocol are supported.
How do shutter timing and exposure affect motion work with MV-CT0CG0120/R?
This is a rolling-shutter CMOS camera, so stationary or strobed scenes suit geometry-sensitive work. It reaches 9.9 fps, with exposure from 26 µs to 10 s. Exposure operation includes Off, Once and Continuous.
Which image-reduction and I/O functions are available on MV-CT0CG0120/R?
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/R?
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.
