HIKROBOT MV-CS050-80GC — Area Scan Cameras
5 MP, SS CMOS, GigE, Color, 24 fps

When long cable runs and color information are needed together, the MV-CS050-80GC steps in: the 5 MP color model of the CS series GigE family runs its 2/3-inch global shutter SS CMOS sensor at 24 fps in Bayer BG 8 at 2448 × 2048. Pixel size is 3.45 μm, SNR is 41.9 dB and dynamic range 61.8 dB; gain spans 0–12 dB and exposure 25 μs to 10 s. Since the camera can output YUV422 and RGB 8/BGR 8 directly alongside raw Bayer, ready-made color images can be sent over the network.
The Gigabit Ethernet link is backward compatible with Fast Ethernet and reaches up to 100 m without a relay; thanks to PoE support, the camera, drawing a typical 1.3 W at 12 VDC, can be powered from the network switch, with 9–24 VDC through the P7 connector as the alternative. Triggering and synchronisation use the opto-isolated input (Line 0), opto-isolated output (Line 1) and bi-directional Line 2, and automatic or manual white balance, gain, exposure, contrast and Gamma adjustment are available. The 102 g, 29 × 29 × 42 mm body mounts from four sides and follows the GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam standards.

Where it is used
Jobs where color discrimination is critical but more than 24 frames per second is unnecessary are this camera’s territory: sorting by material type in recycling plants, fruit and vegetable classification, and color-based quality grading of agricultural produce. PoE and a long Ethernet cable allow the camera to sit in a humid or dusty production area while the computer stays in a protected cabinet. Label color and correct-variant checks on packaged goods, and shade matching on wood and ceramic surfaces, are further typical applications.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
