Controlled-motion detail and alternatives
The monochrome Sony IMX178 in MV-CT1MG0060/R delivers 3072 × 2048 px at 40.0 fps. Its 1/1.8 in CMOS sensor has 2.4 × 2.4 µm pixels and a rolling shutter, with Rolling and Global Reset exposure operation. The camera uses an 8-pin M12 X-Code Gigabit Ethernet connection, supports PoE and carries an IP67 rating under proper installation.
This 6 MP network camera fits detailed inspection of stationary surfaces, edges and multiple part features, or strobe-synchronized capture. Exposure ranges from 25 µs to 3.1 sec, and gain extends from 0 dB to 24 dB. Mono output through 12Packed permits selectable bit depth; 2 × 2 and 4 × 4 binning or decimation provide lower-data modes when the complete image is not required.
MV-CT1MG0050/G uses a global shutter and reaches 59.2 fps at 2448 × 2048 px, making it the choice for motion-sensitive geometry. MV-CT0MU0060/R matches the Sony IMX178, 3072 × 2048 px and monochrome output over USB 3.0, reaching 60.9 fps but with IP40 protection. MV-CT1CG0060/R matches 40.0 fps and resolution in color. Select MV-CT1MG0060/R for sealed PoE mono inspection of stationary targets or with strobe-synchronized exposure.

FAQ
Which listed C-mount lenses cover the MV-CT1MG0060/R sensor?
The suggested models are MVL-KF1628M-12MP and MVL-KF5024M-25MP. Each covers the Sony IMX178's 1/1.8 in format. Their 12 MP and 25 MP resolution classes are above the camera's 3072 × 2048 px image, satisfying both listed optical checks.
How can MV-CT1MG0060/R be linked for data and powered at the machine?
Gigabit Ethernet at 1000 Mbit/s and PoE share the 8-pin M12 X-Code connection; 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet is also compatible. Typical draw is 1.5 W at 12 V DC. A separate 9 V DC to 24 V DC source can connect through the 8-pin M8 A-Code power and I/O interface.
Is MV-CT1MG0060/R appropriate for unrestricted motion?
The Sony IMX178 uses a rolling shutter, so rapid transverse motion can alter geometry between image rows. Rolling and Global Reset exposure operation is listed, but the sensor is not global shutter. Stationary parts, stopped indexing or strobe-synchronized capture are the appropriate basis for its 3072 × 2048 px detail.
What acquisition limits characterize MV-CT1MG0060/R?
Mono 8 reaches 40.0 fps at 3072 × 2048 px with lossless compression enabled. Exposure spans 25 µs to 3.1 sec, and gain spans 0 dB to 24 dB. Mono 10, 10Packed, 12 and 12Packed formats are also available for different processing depths.
What physical conditions can MV-CT1MG0060/R operate in?
With correct lens, lens cap and wiring installation, the housing is IP67. Its working interval is –30 °C to 60 °C, and allowed humidity is 20% RH to 95% RH without condensation. The camera measures 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm and weighs approximately 124 g.
