Applications and neighbouring models
Color imaging at 1624 × 1240 px and 177.3 fps gives MV-CT1CG0020/G a high-throughput profile. The Stacked BSI CMOS sensor uses a global shutter, 3.45 × 3.45 µm pixels and a 1/2.53 in format. Bayer GB 8 reaches the stated rate with lossless compression enabled, while Gigabit Ethernet passes through a waterproof 8-pin M12 X-Code connector with PoE support.
It is suited to fast color sorting, printed-mark verification and moving-component orientation when 2 MP sampling is enough. Exposure can be as short as 23 µs, and Trigger Width or Trigger Controlled operation connects capture to the machine cycle. IP67 protection under correct installation allows placement at the process, and 2 × 2 or 4 × 4 binning and decimation provide smaller acquisition modes.
MV-CT1CG0016/G runs at 180 fps with 1440 × 1080 px, trading some detail for a slight speed increase. MV-CT1CG0032/G raises resolution to 2048 × 1536 px but reduces speed to 77.5 fps. MV-CT1MG0020/G matches 1624 × 1240 px and 177.3 fps in monochrome. MV-CT1CG0020/G is the color choice when the 2 MP step resolves the task without accepting the larger rate drop.

FAQ
Which C-mount lenses cover MV-CT1CG0020/G at full frame?
The camera is paired with MVL-KF1628M-12MP and MVL-KF5024M-25MP. Both C-mount lenses cover the 1/2.53 in sensor format. Their 12 MP and 25 MP resolution classes are higher than the 1624 × 1240 px image, providing the documented margin in nominal resolving class.
What network and power connections does MV-CT1CG0020/G use?
The 8-pin M12 X-Code port carries Gigabit Ethernet at 1000 Mbit/s and supports PoE; 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet is also compatible. For a separate supply, the 8-pin M8 A-Code power and I/O port accepts 9 V DC to 24 V DC. Typical draw is 1.6 W at 12 V DC.
How is the 177.3 fps full-frame rate obtained on MV-CT1CG0020/G?
The maximum is listed at 1624 × 1240 px in Bayer GB 8 with lossless compression mode enabled. The global shutter exposes the color frame together, and exposure can start at 23 µs. This combination supports high-rate acquisition of moving targets with coherent frame geometry.
Which output choices can reduce MV-CT1CG0020/G data load?
Binning and decimation both offer 1 × 1, 2 × 2 and 4 × 4. Color output includes Bayer GB depths through 12Packed, YUV422 variants, RGB 8 and BGR 8, while Mono 8 is also available. These options let the acquisition format and spatial sampling be set before network transfer.
What shop-floor limits apply to MV-CT1CG0020/G operation?
With proper lens, lens cap and wiring installation, the housing is IP67. The operating interval is –30 °C to 60 °C and the non-condensing humidity range is 20% RH to 95% RH. Its 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm enclosure has an approximate mass of 124 g.
