Fast 5.6 MP color USB inspection
Color acquisition at 2600 × 2160 and 59.8 fps defines MV-CU050-90UC. Its 1/2-inch GMAX2505 CMOS sensor uses 2.5 µm pixels, a global shutter and Bayer BG 8 output over USB 3.0. Exposure is adjustable from 3 µs to 10 sec, gain from 0 dB to 12 dB, and the listed dynamic range is 63.9 dB.
High-resolution color label, assembly-state and moving-feature checks can use the simultaneous exposure and faster USB rate. The 3 µs exposure floor supports blur reduction with sufficient illumination. USB 3.0 supplies a supported 5 V DC power path at 2.2 W typical, and the P7 connector provides an isolated input, isolated output and bidirectional non-isolated I/O for hardware timing.
MV-CU050-90UM keeps the sensor geometry, 59.8 fps and USB interface but changes to Mono 8. MV-CU050-90GC retains Bayer BG 8 color at 2600 × 2160 while moving to GigE and 21 fps in a deeper 47.6 mm housing. MV-CU020-90UC is faster at 150.2 fps but reduces the image to 2048 × 1200 with 4 µm pixels. Choose 90UC for the combination of 5.6 MP color, global shutter and USB speed.

Selection and applications
High-resolution color label inspection. Moving assembly-state capture. USB color feature analysis.
Minimum kit: Fit a C-mount lens covering the 1/2-inch GMAX2505 and connect a USB 3.0 cable supplying 5 V DC, or use an external 9–24 V DC feed.
Nearby in the range: MV-CU050-90UM — Prefer it for Mono 8 with the same GMAX2505 and 59.8 fps.; MV-CU050-90GC — Prefer it for the same color resolution over Gigabit Ethernet at 21 fps.; MV-CU020-90UC — Prefer it for 150.2 fps when 2048 × 1200 provides enough detail..

FAQ
What full-frame color performance does MV-CU050-90UC provide?
The camera records 2600 × 2160 Bayer BG 8 at up to 59.8 fps. Its GMAX2505 sensor uses a global shutter and 2.5 µm pixels, combining dense color sampling with common exposure timing across the frame.
How can exposure be set for moving high-resolution targets?
Exposure spans 3 µs to 10 sec. The short end can reduce motion blur under adequate illumination, while the global shutter maintains frame geometry. Gain is adjustable from 0 dB to 12 dB and dynamic range is 63.9 dB.
Does the USB cable provide power to MV-CU050-90UC?
USB 3.0 power is supported, with typical consumption of 2.2 W at 5 V DC. The camera also accepts 9–24 V DC, so an installation can use the host-side power path or a separate supply connection.
What lens coverage is necessary for the GMAX2505 color sensor?
Use a C-mount lens covering the full 1/2-inch image format and resolving the required object detail over 2600 × 2160. The 2.5 µm pixel pitch and chosen scene coverage set the object-space sampling.
What body size, ingress rating and I/O does 90UC include?
The 94 g camera is 29 mm × 29 mm × 35.6 mm and IP30 with correct lens installation and wiring. Its P7 connection has one isolated input, one isolated output and one bidirectional non-isolated I/O.
