Five-megapixel applications and context
Color detail at 2448 × 2048 px combines with 59.2 fps in MV-CT1CG0050/G. The 2/3 in Stacked BSI CMOS sensor has a global shutter and 3.45 × 3.45 µm pixels. Bayer GR 8 reaches the stated full-frame speed with lossless compression enabled, while Gigabit Ethernet uses a sealed 8-pin M12 X-Code connector and can supply power through PoE.
This 5 MP class supports inspection of colored surface features, component orientation and print content on parts moving at moderate line rates. High-sensitivity exposure begins at 5 µs, and Trigger Width or Trigger Controlled timing can coordinate a short illumination event. The IP67 housing is intended for correctly sealed machine wiring, with 2 × 2 and 4 × 4 binning or decimation available for lower-data jobs.
MV-CT1CG0032/G reaches 77.5 fps at 2048 × 1536 px, trading detail for cycle rate. MV-CT1CG0060/R adds horizontal sampling at 3072 × 2048 px but uses a Sony IMX178 rolling shutter and falls to 40.0 fps. MV-CT1CU0050/G produces the same 2448 × 2048 px color frame at 80 fps over USB 3.0. Select MV-CT1CG0050/G when PoE and Gigabit Ethernet outweigh the USB speed gain.

FAQ
Which lenses match the 2/3 in sensor in MV-CT1CG0050/G?
The suggested C-mount lenses are MVL-KF1628M-12MP and MVL-KF5024M-25MP. Their image sizes both cover the 2/3 in sensor. The stated 12 MP and 25 MP lens classes are higher than the camera's 2448 × 2048 px output, meeting the listed resolution relationship.
What power arrangements are available for MV-CT1CG0050/G?
PoE can power the camera over its 8-pin M12 X-Code Gigabit Ethernet link. Typical consumption is 1.5 W at 12 V DC when fast heat balance is not enabled. For separate power, the 8-pin M8 A-Code connector accepts 9 V DC to 24 V DC and also exposes the discrete I/O.
Is MV-CT1CG0050/G suitable for moving color features?
The sensor has a global shutter and supplies 59.2 fps at 2448 × 2048 px in Bayer GR 8 with lossless compression enabled. High-sensitivity exposure can be as short as 5 µs. Together with Trigger Width and Trigger Controlled modes, this supports machine-timed capture of moving features.
How can MV-CT1CG0050/G adjust resolution and bit depth?
Binning and decimation are available at 1 × 1, 2 × 2 and 4 × 4. The camera outputs Bayer GR from 8 through 12Packed, YUV422 variants, RGB 8, BGR 8 and Mono 8. These settings let an integrator reduce spatial sampling or select a suitable color representation before transfer.
What are the environmental ratings of MV-CT1CG0050/G?
When the lens, lens cap and wiring are fitted correctly, the camera is rated IP67. Its working span is –30 °C to 60 °C with 20% RH to 95% RH non-condensing humidity. The housing is 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm and weighs approximately 124 g.
