Global-shutter detail and neighbours
High-resolution color with global exposure distinguishes MV-CT1CG0120/G. Its 1.1 in Stacked BSI CMOS sensor provides 4096 × 3000 px from 3.45 × 3.45 µm pixels. Bayer GB 8 runs at 23.9 fps with lossless compression enabled, while Gigabit Ethernet uses an 8-pin M12 X-Code connector and supports PoE for a single network and supply path.
The 12 MP frame suits dense color-feature inspection, large product surfaces and several checks within one triggered image. UltraShort exposure from 10 µs to 19 µs supports brief illumination, and standard exposure extends from 20 µs to 10 sec. A global shutter preserves scene geometry, while the IP67 housing supports correctly sealed installation across a –30 °C to 60 °C working range.
MV-CT1CG0089/G records 4096 × 2160 px at 32.5 fps, providing more speed when its shorter frame is enough. MV-CT1CG0120/R changes to a 4096 × 3024 px rolling-shutter sensor with 2 × 2 µm pixels and 18.4 fps. MV-CT1CU0120/G matches the 4096 × 3000 px global-shutter color image at 31 fps over USB 3.0. Choose MV-CT1CG0120/G for Gigabit Ethernet, PoE and global-shutter 12 MP imaging.

FAQ
Which C-mount lenses cover MV-CT1CG0120/G at 4096 × 3000 px?
MVL-KF3524M-25MP and MVL-KF5024M-25MP are listed for this camera. Both lenses cover the 1.1 in sensor format, and both carry a 25 MP resolution class above the 4096 × 3000 px image. Their documented coverage makes them the two direct optical choices.
What power and network path does MV-CT1CG0120/G use?
Gigabit Ethernet at 1000 Mbit/s and PoE use the 8-pin M12 X-Code connection; 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet is also compatible. Typical draw is 1.9 W at 12 V DC. The separate M8 A-Code port can instead accept 9 V DC to 24 V DC and provides the discrete input and output lines.
How does MV-CT1CG0120/G freeze short machine events?
The global shutter exposes the complete 4096 × 3000 px frame together. UltraShort exposure operates from 10 µs to 19 µs, followed by standard exposure from 20 µs to 10 sec. Trigger Width and Trigger Controlled modes can tie that exposure to a sensor or illumination event.
Can MV-CT1CG0120/G lower data volume at the camera?
Both binning and decimation support 1 × 1, 2 × 2 and 4 × 4. The output can be Bayer GB through 12Packed, YUV422 variants, RGB 8, BGR 8 or Mono 8. Together with lossless compression at the listed 23.9 fps operating point, these choices allow the transfer format to be tailored.
What physical limits apply to an MV-CT1CG0120/G installation?
With the lens, lens cap and wiring installed correctly, protection is IP67. The 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm enclosure weighs approximately 124 g and works from –30 °C to 60 °C. Permitted humidity is 20% RH to 95% RH without condensation.
