Same version, other sensor variant:
Integrated 5 MP inspection head
A 5 MP colour camera, 16 mm liquid lens and white illuminator share one 77 mm × 77 mm × 123.8 mm assembly in MV-CT2CG0050/G/16LC/WN. The 2/3-inch Stacked BSI CMOS sensor uses global exposure and delivers 2448 × 2048 Bayer GR 8 at 59.2 fps with lossless compression enabled over GigE.
The integrated arrangement fits colour verification, surface checks and assembly inspection where a self-contained optical head is preferable to separately mounted illumination. Its light is rated 6000 K to 9000 K with a 90° irradiation angle, and High Sensitivity exposure starts at 5 µs. PoE and IP67 sealing support machine-side placement with fewer separate components.
MV-CT2CG0050/G provides the same 2448 × 2048 sensor and 59.2 fps in a 42 mm body with a conventional C-mount for chosen optics. MV-CT2CG0032/G/16LC/WN uses the same integrated concept and 16 mm lens but trades resolution for 77.5 fps at 2048 × 1536. MV-CT2CG0060/R/16LC/WN increases sampling to 3072 × 2048 at 40 fps and changes to a Sony IMX178 rolling shutter.

Selection and applications
Integrated 5 MP colour verification. Illuminated assembly inspection. Sealed moving-part surface checks.
Minimum kit: MV-CT2CG0050/G/16LC/WN with its integrated C-mount 16 mm liquid lens, an 8-pin M12 X-Code GigE cable, and PoE or a 9–24 V DC supply.
Nearby in the range: MV-CT2CG0050/G — Prefer it for the same 2448 × 2048 imaging with an externally selected C-mount lens.; MV-CT2CG0032/G/16LC/WN — Prefer it for 77.5 fps integrated imaging at 2048 × 1536.; MV-CT2CG0060/R/16LC/WN — Prefer it for 3072 × 2048 rolling-shutter colour at 40 fps..

FAQ
What illumination is integrated with the 5 MP liquid-lens model?
It includes white light with a 6000 K to 9000 K colour temperature and a 90° irradiation angle relative to the horizontal direction. Approximate integrated-light power is 7.7 W, and the lens-cap bore is Ø38.5 mm.
How is data and power connected to MV-CT2CG0050/G/16LC/WN?
Data uses 1000 Mbit/s Gigabit Ethernet on the 8-pin M12 X-Code connector. The camera supports PoE for network power, or 9–24 V DC may enter on the 8-pin M8 A-Code connector that also carries discrete I/O.
What frame rate remains available with the integrated 16 mm lens?
The integrated model reaches 59.2 fps at the full 2448 × 2048 resolution in Bayer GR 8 with lossless compression enabled. Its imaging values match the standard MV-CT2CG0050/G, including global shutter operation.
Which operating temperature should be used for the assembled head?
The camera body is rated from –30 °C to 60 °C, whereas the lens-cap assembly is rated from 0 °C to 40 °C. The complete configuration must therefore be planned around the narrower 0 °C to 40 °C range.
What is the physical effect of choosing /16LC/WN over the base model?
The complete /16LC/WN assembly measures 77 mm × 77 mm × 123.8 mm and includes a 16 mm liquid lens plus white light. The camera body itself is 42 mm × 42 mm × 43 mm, which is the size of the base C-mount model.
Can the integrated 5 MP unit be externally triggered?
Yes. Trigger Width and Trigger Controlled exposure are supported. The M8 A-Code connection provides one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bidirectional non-isolated line, while global exposure can start at 5 µs in High Sensitivity mode.
