Resolution, motion and range position
A Sony IMX178 CMOS sensor gives MV-CT0MU0060/R a 3072 × 2048 px monochrome image at 60.9 fps. Its 1/1.8 in format uses 2.4 × 2.4 µm pixels and a rolling shutter, with Rolling and Global Reset exposure operation. USB 3.0, a Type-C connector and a 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm body define a close-host, compact installation.
The 6 MP image is suited to measurement, surface review and multi-feature inspection of stationary targets, or to strobe-synchronized capture where spatial sampling matters more than global-shutter geometry. Exposure extends from 8 µs to 1 sec, enabling brief captures under adequate illumination. The monochrome formats reach 12Packed, and 2 × 2 or 4 × 4 binning and decimation can reduce data at acquisition.
MV-CT0MU0050/G provides a 2448 × 2048 px global-shutter image at 80 fps, making it the motion-oriented choice. MV-CT0MU0089/G increases the frame to 4096 × 2160 px with a global shutter but runs at 42 fps. MV-CT0MU0060/R occupies the middle in resolution and rate: select it for 3072 horizontal pixels and 60.9 fps when rolling-shutter readout fits the scene.

FAQ
Which C-mount lenses are paired with MV-CT0MU0060/R?
The suggested pair is MVL-KF1628M-12MP and MVL-KF5024M-25MP. Both cover the 1/1.8 in Sony IMX178 sensor format. The 12 MP and 25 MP lens classes are also above the camera's 3072 × 2048 px image, providing suitable nominal resolution coverage.
What cabling and supply does MV-CT0MU0060/R require?
Connect image data through the Type-C USB 3.0 interface; USB 2.0 compatibility is also listed. USB 3.0 can supply power, with typical consumption of 1.5 W at 5 V DC. Alternatively, the 8-pin M8 A-Code power and I/O connector accepts 9 V DC to 24 V DC.
Is MV-CT0MU0060/R a global-shutter or rolling-shutter camera?
MV-CT0MU0060/R is a rolling-shutter camera. Its Sony IMX178 sensor supports Rolling and Global Reset exposure operation. For geometry-sensitive work, use stationary targets, stopped indexing or strobe-synchronized capture rather than unrestricted motion.
What frame and exposure limits define MV-CT0MU0060/R?
At full 3072 × 2048 px resolution, Mono 8 output reaches 60.9 fps. Exposure ranges from 8 µs to 1 sec and gain from 0 dB to 24 dB. Mono 8, 10, 10Packed, 12 and 12Packed pixel formats are available for choosing transfer depth.
What physical environment suits MV-CT0MU0060/R during operation?
The camera operates from –30 °C to 60 °C and within 20% RH to 95% RH without condensation. Its IP40 rating applies under proper lens installation and wiring. The housing measures 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm and weighs approximately 72 g, so it fits protected compact equipment.
