Color detail, speed and connectivity

An 80 fps color stream at 2448 × 2048 px places MV-CT1CU0050/G in the mid-resolution USB branch. Its 2/3 in Stacked BSI CMOS sensor has 3.45 × 3.45 µm pixels and a global shutter. USB 3.0 uses a Type-C interface and can power the camera, while the short 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm body carries an IP67 rating under proper installation.

The 5 MP image suits moving color-surface checks, print verification and component-orientation decisions that require more detail than 2048 × 1536 px. High-sensitivity exposure starts at 5 µs for brief illumination, and the global shutter keeps object geometry coherent. Trigger Width and Trigger Controlled functions synchronize capture; selectable Bayer, YUV422, RGB, BGR and Mono output supports different processing paths.

MV-CT1CU0032/G increases speed to 104.8 fps but records 2048 × 1536 px. MV-CT0MU0050/G matches 2448 × 2048 px and 80 fps in monochrome, using an IP40 enclosure. MV-CT1CG0050/G keeps the color image and IP67 protection while adding Gigabit Ethernet and PoE, but runs at 59.2 fps. Choose MV-CT1CU0050/G for the higher-rate, sealed USB color arrangement.

Selection and applications

Moving color-surface inspection. High-rate print verification. Sealed USB orientation checks.

Minimum kit: Use the camera with a C-mount lens, a USB 3.0 Type-C cable, and power from USB or a 9–24 V DC connection.

Nearby in the range: MV-CT1CU0032/G — Prefer it for 104.8 fps when 2048 × 1536 px is sufficient.; MV-CT1CG0050/G — Prefer it for Gigabit Ethernet and PoE at 2448 × 2048 px and 59.2 fps..

FAQ

What C-mount lens options are listed for MV-CT1CU0050/G?

MVL-KF1628M-12MP and MVL-KF5024M-25MP are the suggested C-mount lenses. Both image sizes cover the 2/3 in sensor. Their 12 MP and 25 MP classes are above the camera's 2448 × 2048 px output, so each passes the stated format-coverage and resolution-class checks.

How should MV-CT1CU0050/G receive USB data and operating power?

The Type-C connector carries USB 3.0 data and can power the camera at a typical 1.7 W at 5 V DC when fast heat balance is not enabled. USB 2.0 compatibility is included. The 8-pin M8 A-Code connection also accepts 9 V DC to 24 V DC and carries the discrete I/O.

Can MV-CT1CU0050/G inspect moving colored parts at 80 fps?

Its global shutter captures the 2448 × 2048 px frame at one exposure, and Bayer GR 8 reaches 80 fps. High-sensitivity exposure begins at 5 µs. Together with Trigger Width and Trigger Controlled timing, the camera can coordinate short captures with moving-part arrival.

What on-camera data choices does MV-CT1CU0050/G provide?

Binning and decimation each support 1 × 1, 2 × 2 and 4 × 4. Color output includes Bayer GR through 12Packed, YUV422Packed, YUV422_YUYV_Packed, RGB 8 and BGR 8; Mono 8 is also listed. These modes adjust spatial sampling and transfer representation.

Which environmental limits apply to MV-CT1CU0050/G?

IP67 applies when the lens, lens cap and wiring are installed properly. The camera works from –30 °C to 60 °C and at 20% RH to 95% RH without condensation. Its enclosure is 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm and its approximate mass is 70 g.
