MAX 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)
- 8-pin M12 A-Code waterproof aviation connector
- Ready for lens and light integration: control is on board, while the lens and the light are ordered separately (/16LC/WN versions ship with them)

Fast colour capture in the CT range
Frame rate rather than pixel count defines MV-CT2CG0004/G. Its 1/2.9-inch Stacked BSI CMOS sensor exposes globally and reaches 200.5 fps at 720 × 540 in Bayer GB 8. Large 6.9 µm pixels, colour output and a Gigabit Ethernet link make this 0.4 MP camera a high-cadence imaging head for compact regions of interest.
The format suits colour presence checks, rapid part classification and orientation monitoring when the required feature fits within 720 × 540. A 23 µs minimum exposure and global shutter support fast transport, while Trigger Width and Trigger Controlled modes connect acquisition to machine timing. PoE reduces the imaging connection to one cable, and correct assembly provides IP67 sealing.
MV-CT2CG0016/G increases sampling to 1440 × 1080 while retaining 180 fps and the same 1/2.9-inch format. MV-CT2MG0004/G matches 720 × 540 and 200.5 fps but records monochrome output. Where a directly connected host is preferred, MV-CT2CU0032/G supplies 2048 × 1536 colour through USB 3.0 at 104.8 fps.

FAQ
Which lenses are listed for the 1/2.9-inch high-speed colour sensor?
MVL-KF1628M-12MP and MVL-KF5024M-25MP are listed. Both use C-mount and their image circles cover the 1/2.9-inch sensor. Their resolution classes also exceed the approximately 0.4 MP represented by 720 × 540 pixels.
How is MV-CT2CG0004/G powered when only one network run is wanted?
The 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet interface supports PoE through its 8-pin M12 X-Code connector. Alternatively, 9–24 V DC may be applied through the 8-pin M8 A-Code power and I/O port; typical draw is 1.9 W at 24 V DC under the stated conditions.
What image encoding is used for the maximum 200.5 fps figure?
The maximum is stated at the full 720 × 540 resolution in Bayer GB 8. Other outputs include Bayer GB through 12Packed, Mono 8, YUV422Packed, YUV422_YUYV_Packed, RGB 8 and BGR 8, allowing the host pipeline to select its required colour representation.
Can this 0.4 MP model freeze parts moving through a small scene?
Its CMOS sensor uses a global shutter and exposure can begin at 23 µs. Off, Once and Continuous exposure modes are available, along with Trigger Width and Trigger Controlled operation for synchronizing a 720 × 540 capture to the process.
Does MV-CT2CG0004/G provide a separate control connection?
Yes. In addition to the M12 X-Code data port and M8 power and I/O port, it has an 8-pin M12 A-Code control connector. The M8 interface provides one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bidirectional non-isolated line.
