HIKROBOT MV-CA016-10GC — Area Scan Cameras
1.6 MP, Sony IMX273, GigE, Color, 78.2 fps

The MV-CA016-10GC pairs the same IMX273 sensor with color output over GigE; it keeps the 78.2 fps at 1440 × 1080 and 71.4 dB dynamic range of its mono sibling, with a 41 dB SNR. Broad pixel-format support including Bayer RG and YUV variants gives flexibility on the color-processing side. This model is also under ‘Delisting Preparation’ status in HIKROBOT’s catalog.
Power draw stays at 3 W @ 12 VDC, matching the mono version; a 6-pin Hirose connector carries PoE power and the opto-isolated I/O set. The 128 MB onboard memory buffers burst transmission to preserve data integrity during network delays. GigE Vision V2.0 / GenICam compliance enables direct integration with third-party software.

Where it is used
Combining color output with a wide dynamic range suits print/label color inspection and assembly lines with tight color tolerances. 1.6 MP resolution is enough to capture both color and shape detail on mid-sized parts. Single-cable PoE setup also reduces cabling complexity on multi-camera lines.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
