Fine-detail monochrome network imaging
Mono 8 capture at 5120 × 3840 defines MV-CU200-20GM as the high-sampling monochrome member of the compact AR2020 GigE pair. Its 1/1.8-inch CMOS sensor has 1.4 µm pixels, a rolling shutter, and a maximum full-frame rate of 5.9 fps. The 61 dB dynamic range and 53 µs to 10 sec exposure interval support carefully lit, stationary inspection work.
The dense raster suits small-mark analysis, fine edge measurement, broad-area texture inspection, and documentation of indexed parts. A 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm housing and C-mount place the camera in constrained optical heads. Gigabit Ethernet transports the images, while optional PoE or a 9 V DC to 24 V DC supply handles the typical 2.0 W load. P7 I/O links the acquisition to machine timing.
MV-CU200-20GC adds Bayer GR 8 colour while retaining 5120 × 3840 and 5.9 fps. MV-CU200-20UM moves Mono 8 to USB 3.0 and reaches 18 fps for a host located near the camera. MV-CU120-10GM reduces sampling to 4024 × 3036 but increases the GigE rate to 9.7 fps when cycle cadence takes priority.

Selection and applications
Fine monochrome edge measurement. Broad-area texture inspection. High-resolution GigE mark analysis.
Minimum kit: The minimum setup is MV-CU200-20GM, a high-resolution C-mount lens covering 1/1.8 inch, a Gigabit Ethernet cable, and optional PoE or a 9 V DC to 24 V DC supply.
Nearby in the range: MV-CU200-20GC — Prefer it when Bayer GR 8 colour is needed at 5120 × 3840 and 5.9 fps.; MV-CU200-20UM — Prefer it for 18 fps Mono 8 capture through USB 3.0.; MV-CU120-10GM — Prefer it when 4024 × 3036 is sufficient and 9.7 fps GigE output is required..

FAQ
Why select the monochrome AR2020 GigE configuration?
MV-CU200-20GM delivers Mono 8 at 5120 × 3840 and 5.9 fps, matching edge, texture, and brightness algorithms that do not need colour. MV-CU200-20GC keeps the same resolution and rate but supplies Bayer GR 8 colour data.
What lens characteristics matter with 1.4 µm pixels?
Use a C-mount lens whose image circle covers 1/1.8 inch and whose resolving performance supports 5120 × 3840 sampling at a 1.4 µm pitch. Focus, field curvature, and edge resolution become relevant when the full raster is used for measurement.
Can the GigE cable also carry power for MV-CU200-20GM?
PoE is optional for MV-CU200-20GM. A separate 9 V DC to 24 V DC input is also specified, and typical power draw is 2.0 W at 12 V DC. Choose the route that matches the network switch and machine supply design.
How should targets move during AR2020 acquisition?
Because the sensor has a rolling shutter, measurement targets should be stationary or indexed during acquisition. Exposure can be as short as 53 µs to reduce blur, but global-shutter geometry requires a different camera such as MV-CU020-90GC.
Which I/O channels support synchronized inspection?
The 6-pin P7 connection includes one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output, and one bidirectional non-isolated I/O. This supports external triggering, illumination timing, and an additional machine signal around the 5.9 fps image stream.
