HIKROBOT MV-CA004-10UC — Area Scan Cameras
0.4 MP, Sony IMX287, USB3.0, Color, 526.5 fps

The MV-CA004-10UC is the color, USB3.0 variant of the IMX287 sensor, reaching 526.5 fps at 720×540 with an UltraShort exposure mode down to 1–14 μs. Support for multiple pixel formats — RGB8, BGR8, YUV422 — allows color data to be processed directly, while SNR (41 dB) and dynamic range (74 dB) are unchanged. This model, too, is listed under Delisting Preparation.
The broad pixel-format support, including BGR8, ensures direct compatibility with different image-processing software, and gain, exposure, LUT and Gamma all support auto/manual adjustment. The USB2.0-compatible USB3.0 interface supports either a 9–24 VDC external supply or direct bus power (typ. 3 W @ 5 VDC), with M2 screw holes securing the cable. USB3 Vision and GenICam compliance give smooth integration with the MVS client.

- Compatible with USB3 Vision Protocol, GenICam Standard, and the third-party software based on these protocol and standard.
Where it is used
Combining color imaging with speeds up to 526.5 fps and the UltraShort exposure mode suits applications that must sort fast-moving colored parts without motion blur. It fits print/label color inspection and high-speed sorting lines. The compact USB3.0 housing is an advantage in stations with limited mounting space.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
