Global-shutter monochrome detail over GigE
A 2600 × 2160 Mono 8 frame gives MV-CU050-90GM the highest monochrome pixel count among these GigE entries. The 1/2-inch GMAX2505 CMOS sensor combines 2.5 µm pixels, global-shutter timing and a 21 fps maximum. Gigabit Ethernet transports the image, while exposure runs from 3 µs to 10 sec and dynamic range is 63.8 dB.
Fine edge, profile and assembly-feature measurement on moving parts can use the dense intensity grid and simultaneous exposure. The 3 µs minimum supports short integration under sufficient light, and 0–12 dB gain provides the stated adjustment interval. Optional PoE can share the data cable; the P7 connection adds one isolated input, one isolated output and one bidirectional non-isolated I/O.
MV-CU050-90GC keeps the GMAX2505, resolution and 21 fps but adds Bayer BG 8 color. MV-CU050-90UM changes to USB 3.0 and reaches 59.8 fps at the same Mono 8 resolution in a 35.6 mm-deep housing. MV-CU050-30GM runs at 24 fps with 2592 × 1944, an AR0521 and rolling shutter. Pick 90GM for high-resolution Mono 8 with global exposure and a GigE connection.

Selection and applications
Fine monochrome edge measurement. Global-shutter profile inspection. High-resolution GigE feature checks.
Minimum kit: Pair the camera with a C-mount lens covering the 1/2-inch sensor, a Gigabit Ethernet cable, and optional PoE or a 9–24 V DC supply.
Nearby in the range: MV-CU050-90GC — Use it for Bayer BG 8 color at the same 2600 × 2160 and 21 fps.; MV-CU050-90UM — Use it for Mono 8 at 59.8 fps over USB 3.0.; MV-CU050-30GM — Use it for a 2592 × 1944 AR0521 rolling-shutter image at 24 fps..

FAQ
What monochrome detail does MV-CU050-90GM deliver per frame?
The camera outputs 2600 × 2160 Mono 8 from a GMAX2505 sensor with 2.5 µm pixels. This provides the stated 5.6 MP intensity grid for fine edge, profile and assembly-feature analysis at up to 21 fps.
How do the global shutter and 3 µs exposure work together?
The global shutter gives common exposure timing across the moving frame, while the 3 µs lower limit can reduce blur under adequate illumination. Exposure can also extend to 10 sec, and gain runs from 0 dB to 12 dB.
Which C-mount lens should cover the 90GM image sensor?
The lens needs an image circle for a 1/2-inch sensor and enough resolving ability for the selected object sampling across 2600 × 2160. The GMAX2505 pixel pitch is 2.5 µm × 2.5 µm.
What power paths accompany the MV-CU050-90GM GigE link?
The camera accepts 9–24 V DC and offers optional PoE. Typical consumption is 2.3 W at 12 V DC. Gigabit Ethernet carries the image data and is also listed as compatible with Fast Ethernet.
What housing protection and operating range does 90GM have?
The 117 g enclosure measures 29 mm × 29 mm × 47.6 mm. It is IP30 with proper lens installation and wiring and operates from 0 °C to 50 °C at 20–95% RH without condensation.
