Four-port USB3.0 acquisition
Four USB3.0 type-A camera interfaces at 5 Gbit/s make MV-GU2104 a multi-camera USB acquisition board for a PCI-E host. The gen2 × 4 interconnect provides 1720 MB/s maximum and 1600 MB/s sustained transfer. Each channel can supply 4.5 W at 5 V DC, supporting a four-link design in which camera data and the stated per-port power are presented through the same USB connection.
The four ports suit multi-angle inspection or several USB camera stations connected to one computer. Board consumption is 6 W typical without USB power and 24 W typical when USB power is included, so host power planning must use the appropriate operating case. The card weighs 160 g, measures 181.1 × 126.3 × 21.6 mm and operates from 0 to 60 °C. Windows 7/10/11 and Linux are listed host environments.
MV-GU2204 preserves the four 5 Gbit/s ports, 4.5 W at 5 V DC channel output and 1600 MB/s sustained rate, but shortens the board to 165.5 × 120 × 22 mm, reduces weight to about 143.6 g and draws 5.5 W or 23.5 W depending on USB power. MV-GU2204L further reduces the board height to 80.1 mm and weight to about 140 g. Choose MV-GU2104 when Linux support or its 181.1 mm board format aligns with the host.

Selection and applications
Four-camera USB3.0 acquisition. Powered multi-view USB capture. Linux-hosted USB image intake.
Minimum kit: Install MV-GU2104 in a PCI-E gen2 × 4 host, connect up to four USB cameras with USB3.0 type-A cables, and keep each powered channel within 4.5 W at 5 V DC.
Nearby in the range: MV-GU2204 — Prefer it for the shorter 165.5 × 120 × 22 mm board and lower typical consumption.; MV-GU2204L — Prefer it when an 80.1 mm board height is required.; MV-GT2102 — Prefer it for two RJ45 inputs and 3200 MB/s continuous host transfer..

FAQ
How many USB cameras can the MV-GU2104 board connect?
MV-GU2104 supports four cameras through four USB3.0 type-A interfaces. Each camera connection is rated at 5 Gbit/s, with all ports feeding the PCI-E gen2 × 4 host path.
What power is available from each MV-GU2104 USB channel?
Every channel can provide 4.5 W at 5 V DC. Board consumption is 6 W typical without the USB power supply and 24 W typical when USB power is included, which defines both host-power cases.
What sustained transfer rate does MV-GU2104 provide?
The board sustains 1600 MB/s and reaches 1720 MB/s maximum transfer bandwidth over PCI-E gen2 × 4. Those figures apply to the shared host path serving the four USB camera connections.
What environmental and mechanical figures apply to MV-GU2104?
MV-GU2104 measures 181.1 × 126.3 × 21.6 mm and weighs 160 g. Operation is specified from 0 to 60 °C at 10 to 95% RH, while storage extends from -20 to 70 °C.
Can MV-GU2104 be integrated into a Linux acquisition host?
Yes. Linux is listed alongside Windows 7, 10 and 11. The host requires a PCI-E gen2 × 4 connection for the card and receives as much as 1600 MB/s of sustained transfer.
How does MV-GU2104 differ mechanically from MV-GU2204?
MV-GU2104 is 181.1 × 126.3 × 21.6 mm and 160 g; MV-GU2204 is 165.5 × 120 × 22 mm and approximately 143.6 g. Both provide four 5 Gbit/s USB ports and 1600 MB/s sustained bandwidth.
