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)

Rolling-shutter colour applications
The Sony IMX178 sensor gives MV-CT2CG0060/R a 3072 × 2048 colour image from a compact 1/1.8-inch format. Its 2.4 µm pixels and rolling shutter deliver 40 fps in Bayer RG 8 with lossless compression enabled over Gigabit Ethernet. This 6 MP model emphasizes finer sampling rather than the motion behavior of the neighbouring global-shutter cameras.
It belongs in indexed inspection, colour surface analysis and stationary label or marking checks where a part can pause for acquisition. Exposure extends from 25 µs to 3.1 sec, with both Rolling and Global Reset operation. The 42 mm body provides PoE, discrete I/O and a separate M12 A-Code control port, and reaches IP67 when the lens, cap and wiring are correctly assembled.
MV-CT2CG0050/G uses global exposure and reaches 59.2 fps, but its image is 2448 × 2048. MV-CT2CG0089/G also has a global shutter and widens capture to 4096 × 2160 at 32.5 fps on a 1-inch sensor. Choose MV-CT2CG0060/R/16LC/WN for the same Sony IMX178 imaging core with an integrated 16 mm liquid lens and white light.

FAQ
Which C-mount lenses are suggested for the Sony IMX178 sensor?
MVL-KF1628M-12MP and MVL-KF5024M-25MP are suggested. Their image circles cover the 1/1.8-inch sensor, while their 12 MP and 25 MP classes exceed the approximately 6.3 MP created by 3072 × 2048 pixels.
How should a 40 fps rolling-shutter stream be connected and powered?
The stream uses 1000 Mbit/s Gigabit Ethernet on an 8-pin M12 X-Code connector and the camera supports PoE. It can instead take 9–24 V DC on the M8 A-Code port; typical draw is 1.7 W at 24 V DC under the stated conditions.
What capture assumptions accompany the 40 fps maximum?
The 40 fps figure applies to full 3072 × 2048 output in Bayer RG 8 with lossless compression enabled. Available alternatives include Bayer RG formats through 12Packed, YUV422 variants, RGB 8, BGR 8 and Mono 8.
Which exposure modes are provided by MV-CT2CG0060/R?
The rolling-shutter sensor supports Rolling and Global Reset operation, with exposure from 25 µs to 3.1 sec. Control can run Off, Once or Continuous. MV-CT2CG0050/G is the nearby global-shutter choice and provides Trigger Width and Trigger Controlled timing.
What changes when the /16LC/WN version replaces the standard camera?
The 3072 × 2048 resolution and 40 fps rate stay unchanged. The standard 42 mm × 42 mm × 43 mm C-mount unit accepts a selected lens; /16LC/WN expands to 77 mm × 77 mm × 123.8 mm and integrates a 16 mm liquid lens with white illumination.
