High-resolution tasks and neighbours
A 4096 × 3000 px monochrome frame and global shutter position MV-CT0MU0120/G for high-detail imaging without rolling readout. Its 1.1 in Stacked BSI CMOS sensor has 3.45 × 3.45 µm pixels and produces 31 fps in Mono 8. USB 3.0 uses a Type-C interface, and the compact housing retains a 29 mm × 29 mm front section despite the larger optical format.
The 12 MP image supports inspection of dense feature patterns, large components and several regions of interest within one exposure. Trigger Width and Trigger Controlled modes synchronize the global frame with machinery, and exposure starts at 20 µs. For lower transfer or processing load, both binning and decimation offer 2 × 2 and 4 × 4 settings; Mono formats extend from 8 to 12Packed.
MV-CT0MU0089/G keeps 4096 horizontal pixels but records 2160 vertically at 42 fps, favouring a wider, faster inspection. MV-CT0MU0200/R raises resolution to 5472 × 3648 px but uses a Sony IMX183 rolling shutter and runs at 19.3 fps. Choose MV-CT0MU0120/G when 4096 × 3000 px, 31 fps and global exposure form the required balance; select the 20 MP model for static detail.

FAQ
Which optics are suggested for MV-CT0MU0120/G at 12 MP?
The listed C-mount choices are MVL-KF3524M-25MP and MVL-KF5024M-25MP. Each has an image size that covers the 1.1 in sensor, and both carry a 25 MP resolution class above the camera's 4096 × 3000 px output. Lens choice can then follow the required view.
Can the USB link power MV-CT0MU0120/G during operation?
USB 3.0 power is supported through the Type-C connection, with typical draw of 1.9 W at 5 V DC. That link also carries image data and is compatible with USB 2.0. An external 9 V DC to 24 V DC source can instead connect through the 8-pin M8 A-Code power and I/O port.
How does MV-CT0MU0120/G control motion at high resolution?
The 4096 × 3000 px sensor uses a global shutter, so moving geometry is captured in one exposure rather than by rolling lines. Full-frame Mono 8 speed is 31 fps and exposure can start at 20 µs. Trigger Width and Trigger Controlled modes support machine-timed acquisition.
What data-reduction choices are built into MV-CT0MU0120/G?
Binning and decimation are each available at 1 × 1, 2 × 2 and 4 × 4. Output formats include Mono 8, 10, 10Packed, 12 and 12Packed. This allows pixel count and bit depth to be adjusted before USB transfer when full 12 MP sampling is not needed for every inspection.
What mounting environment is appropriate for MV-CT0MU0120/G?
The camera has an IP40 rating with proper lens installation and wiring, an operating range of –30 °C to 60 °C and a 20% RH to 95% RH non-condensing humidity range. Its enclosure measures 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm and weighs approximately 72 g.
