High-rate color capture and positioning
Cycle rate rather than fine sampling drives MV-CT1CG0004/G. The color Stacked BSI CMOS sensor produces 720 × 540 px Bayer GB 8 images at 200.5 fps with a global shutter. Its 6.9 × 6.9 µm pixels occupy a 1/2.9 in format, while Gigabit Ethernet, an 8-pin M12 X-Code connector and PoE support a networked machine installation.
This camera suits rapid color-presence decisions, object tracking and coarse orientation checks on moving parts. The global shutter keeps each fast frame geometrically consistent, exposure starts at 23 µs, and Trigger Width or Trigger Controlled operation can align acquisition with the conveyor cycle. IP67 protection applies with correct lens, lens cap and wiring installation, and the working range extends from –30 °C to 60 °C.
MV-CT1CG0016/G raises color resolution to 1440 × 1080 px and runs at 180 fps with lossless compression enabled. MV-CT1MG0004/G retains 720 × 540 px and 200.5 fps but outputs monochrome rather than color. Pick MV-CT1CG0004/G when the 200.5 fps rate and color discrimination matter more than detail; choose the mono counterpart when chromatic information is unnecessary.

FAQ
Which lenses are suggested for MV-CT1CG0004/G color capture?
The listed C-mount options are MVL-KF1628M-12MP and MVL-KF5024M-25MP. Both image sizes cover the 1/2.9 in sensor. Their 12 MP and 25 MP resolution classes are comfortably above the 720 × 540 px camera output, so either passes the documented coverage and resolution checks.
Can MV-CT1CG0004/G use one connection for data and power?
Yes. The Gigabit Ethernet interface supports PoE through the waterproof 8-pin M12 X-Code connector. The link operates at 1000 Mbit/s and is compatible with 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet. A separate 9 V DC to 24 V DC input is also available on the M8 power and I/O connector.
Why is MV-CT1CG0004/G aimed at fast moving targets?
Its global shutter exposes the frame together, and the camera reaches 200.5 fps at 720 × 540 px in Bayer GB 8. The shortest listed exposure is 23 µs. These facts support high-cycle capture where coarse color or position information is needed from each moving object.
What color formats can MV-CT1CG0004/G deliver over Gigabit Ethernet?
Output includes Bayer GB 8, 10, 10Packed, 12 and 12Packed, plus YUV422Packed, YUV422_YUYV_Packed, RGB 8 and BGR 8; Mono 8 is also available. Binning and decimation are not supported on this model, so output-format choice is the primary on-camera data decision.
What installation protection does MV-CT1CG0004/G provide?
The camera is rated IP67 when the lens, lens cap and wiring are installed correctly. Its 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm housing operates from –30 °C to 60 °C at 20% RH to 95% RH without condensation. Approximate mass is 124 g.
