PRO version: what you get
This camera comes in three versions on the same sensor — they differ in protection, connectors and integrated optics:
- 8-pin M12 X-Code waterproof aviation connector
- IP67 (under proper lens and lens cap installation and wiring)
- precision temperature control design for fast heat balance
- auto color correction based on multi-spectral fusion technology

Sensor variant and application fit
A 4096 × 3024 px color frame from a 1/1.56 in sensor defines the /R variant MV-CT1CG0120/R. Its Stacked BSI CMOS array has 2 × 2 µm pixels and a rolling shutter, delivering 18.4 fps in Bayer BG 8 with lossless compression enabled. The camera connects through 8-pin M12 X-Code Gigabit Ethernet and accepts PoE or 9 V DC to 24 V DC power.
This combination is aimed at high-detail color inspection of stationary objects or objects stopped during exposure: print areas, fine surface changes and several features can share one frame. Exposure spans 26 µs to 10 sec, while 2 × 2 and 4 × 4 binning or decimation provide smaller acquisition modes. Proper lens, lens cap and wiring installation maintains IP67 protection at the process.
MV-CT1CG0120/G uses a global shutter, 3.45 × 3.45 µm pixels and 4096 × 3000 px, reaching 23.9 fps; select it when motion geometry or UltraShort exposure matters. MV-CT1CG0200/R increases detail to 5472 × 3648 px and runs at 22.3 fps, also with rolling readout. MV-CT1CG0120/R fits a 12 MP stationary-object station where its 1/1.56 in format and 4096 × 3024 px image meet the optical layout.

FAQ
What lens pair is listed for MV-CT1CG0120/R at 12 MP?
The suggested lenses are MVL-KF3524M-25MP and MVL-KF5024M-25MP. Both use C-mount, cover the camera's 1/1.56 in sensor and have a 25 MP class above the 4096 × 3024 px output. Either satisfies the documented format coverage and nominal resolution relationship.
How can MV-CT1CG0120/R be powered on a Gigabit Ethernet network?
PoE is supported through the 8-pin M12 X-Code Gigabit Ethernet connector, which carries 1000 Mbit/s data and is compatible with 100 Mbit/s. Typical consumption is 1.5 W at 12 V DC. Separate power from 9 V DC to 24 V DC can be applied through the M8 A-Code port.
What distinguishes the shutter variant in the MV-CT1CG0120/R 12 MP model?
This /R model uses a rolling shutter with Off, Once and Continuous exposure operation. It records 4096 × 3024 px at 18.4 fps in Bayer BG 8 with lossless compression enabled. That combination positions it for detailed inspection of stationary targets or targets stopped during exposure.
Which image formats and reductions does MV-CT1CG0120/R support?
The camera outputs Bayer BG from 8 through 12Packed, YUV422Packed, YUV422_YUYV_Packed, RGB 8, BGR 8 and Mono 8. Binning and decimation each support 1 × 1, 2 × 2 and 4 × 4, and horizontal or vertical reverse image output is available.
What operating environment is stated for MV-CT1CG0120/R?
The enclosure is IP67 with proper lens, lens cap and wiring installation. It measures 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm, weighs approximately 124 g and operates from –30 °C to 60 °C. The allowed humidity range is 20% RH to 95% RH without condensation.
