HIKROBOT MV-CS023-10GC — Area Scan Cameras
2.3 MP, Sony IMX249, GigE, Color, 41 fps

Where color information is part of the decision, the MV-CS023-10GC is the 2.3 MP answer within the CS series. This color model keeps the 1/1.2-inch sensor area and 5.86 μm × 5.86 μm pixels of the global-shutter Sony IMX249, so the 44.9 dB SNR and 72.6 dB dynamic range carry over to the individual color channels with little noise penalty. Over its GigE interface the camera outputs 41 fps at 1920 × 1200 in Bayer RG 8.
The choice of output formats is a practical integration advantage of this model: alongside raw Bayer RG 8/10/12 (including packed variants) the camera can deliver YUV422Packed, YUV422_YUYV_Packed, RGB 8 and BGR 8 directly, so color conversion can be done either in the camera or on the host. The GigE link is compatible with Fast Ethernet and can be fed over PoE from a single cable; for external power the range is 9 VDC to 24 VDC with a typical draw of 2.6 W at 12 VDC. Line 0 / Line 1 / Line 2 on the P7 connector handle trigger and status signals, gain, exposure, LUT and Gamma can be set automatically or manually, and GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam support come as standard.

Where it is used
It fits jobs where color discrimination is critical but 2.3 MP of resolution is sufficient: verifying that cap and label colors match the product, checking wire-sequence colors in harnesses, sorting food and agricultural produce by color, and detecting color shifts or missing print on printed packaging. Thanks to the large pixels, illumination can stay modest even in color capture, and 41 fps keeps pace with mid-speed sorting belts.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
