HIKROBOT MV-CS050-60GC — Area Scan Cameras
5 MP, Stacked BSI, GigE, Color, 23 fps
The MV-CS050-60GC is the color version of the second-generation Stacked BSI GigE camera: 2448 × 2048 at 23 fps in Bayer GR 8, with 42.4 dB SNR and 73.9 dB dynamic range from a 2/3″ sensor with 3.45 μm pixels. It positions itself in the CS series as the 5 MP color choice for demanding image quality, with the same dual exposure modes (high full well capacity 30 μs–10 s, high sensitivity 5 μs–10 s) as its mono sibling. On-camera ISP includes CCM, Super Palette and Super Bayer for color reproduction.
The camera outputs Bayer GR, YUV422 or RGB 8/BGR 8 over Gigabit Ethernet, reaching 100 m without relay and staying compatible with Fast Ethernet. PoE or a 9–24 VDC input via the 6-pin P7 connector powers it at a typical 2.5 W (12 VDC); the same connector provides one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and a bi-directional non-isolated I/O line. White balance, gain, exposure, LUT and Gamma can be tuned automatically or by hand, Sequencer is supported, and the 29 × 29 × 42 mm body with four-sided mounting complies with GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam.

Where it is used
High dynamic range in color is valuable for inspecting glossy or printed surfaces under uneven lighting — packaging, coated parts, electronics with reflective components — where a lower-range sensor would clip highlights or lose shadow detail. It fits color sorting, label and print quality checks and assembly verification where 23 fps meets the cycle time, with CCM helping to keep color judgments consistent between stations.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
