High-detail USB color positioning
Global-shutter color at 4096 × 3000 px is the defining capability of MV-CT1CU0120/G. Its 1.1 in Stacked BSI CMOS sensor uses 3.45 × 3.45 µm pixels and produces 31 fps in Bayer GB 8. USB 3.0 uses a Type-C interface and supports power through the same link, while the compact 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm body is rated IP67.
The 12 MP image supports large-product inspection, dense color patterns and multiple decision regions within one frame. Global exposure preserves moving geometry when the 31 fps rate suits the line, and exposure can start at 20 µs. Trigger Width and Trigger Controlled acquisition coordinate lighting and part arrival; 2 × 2 and 4 × 4 binning or decimation reduce data for less detailed stages.
MV-CT1CU0089/G provides 4096 × 2160 px at 42 fps, favouring wide targets and additional speed. MV-CT0MU0120/G matches 4096 × 3000 px and 31 fps but is monochrome and IP40. MV-CT1CG0120/G retains the color frame and global shutter over Gigabit Ethernet with PoE, at 23.9 fps with lossless compression. Choose MV-CT1CU0120/G for full 12 MP color at the faster USB rate in an IP67 body.

FAQ
What lenses are specified for MV-CT1CU0120/G imaging?
MVL-KF3524M-25MP and MVL-KF5024M-25MP are the suggested C-mount lenses. Each covers the 1.1 in sensor, and both have a 25 MP class above the 4096 × 3000 px output. These are therefore the two documented optical selections for sensor coverage and resolution class.
Can MV-CT1CU0120/G use USB for both image data and power?
Yes. The Type-C interface carries USB 3.0 data and supports USB 3.0 power, with USB 2.0 compatibility also listed. For an externally supplied station, the 8-pin M8 A-Code connection accepts 9 V DC to 24 V DC and provides the camera's opto-isolated and bidirectional I/O lines.
What motion performance does MV-CT1CU0120/G provide?
The Stacked BSI sensor has a global shutter and outputs 4096 × 3000 px Bayer GB 8 at 31 fps. Exposure starts at 20 µs. Trigger Width and Trigger Controlled functions can synchronize the full-frame exposure to object arrival or a short illumination pulse.
How can MV-CT1CU0120/G change pixel count or output type?
Binning and decimation offer 1 × 1, 2 × 2 and 4 × 4 factors. Output choices include Bayer GB through 12Packed, YUV422Packed, YUV422_YUYV_Packed, RGB 8, BGR 8 and Mono 8. These modes allow acquisition data to match color-processing and spatial-detail needs.
What enclosure and climate limits apply to MV-CT1CU0120/G?
The camera is rated IP67 and has a 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm enclosure. Its working temperature runs from –30 °C to 60 °C, while humidity may range from 20% RH to 95% RH without condensation. Lens and wiring selection should maintain the sealed installation.
