HIKROBOT MV-CI050-Y1S-NN — Area Scan Cameras
5 MP, Sony IMX992, InGaAs SWIR, Global Shutter, CXP-12, 120 fps

The MV-CI050-Y1S-NN is the highest-resolution model in this group: at 2592×2056 pixels, its global-shutter InGaAs Sony IMX992 sensor reaches 120 fps — also the fastest frame rate here. While all eight other models use GigE, this is the only one with a CoaXPress (CXP-12) interface; a 3.45 μm pixel pitch, 1/1.4-inch sensor format, and three exposure modes (ultrashort, supershort, standard) support a wide dynamic scene range.
Data travels over CoaXPress via a Micro-BNC connector with PoCXP (power over coax) support, carrying power and data on a single cable; I/O runs through a 6-pin P7 connector. The camera is offered in two housings — 29×85.6×42 mm/170 g with a heatsink for standard mounting, and 29×29×42 mm/90 g without one for the most compact footprint — with a C-mount lens and CoaXPress/GenICam compatibility. Power draw stays low at 4.2 W despite the 5 MP/120 fps performance.

Key features
- Adopts InGaAs sensor and supports spectral imaging of 0.4 μm to 1.7 μm.
- Supports multiple ISP functions like digital noise reduction, contrast ratio, etc.
- Adopts compact structure and design to meet spatial requirements.
- Adopts CXP-12 interface to transmit data.
- Compatible with CoaXPress Protocol, GenICam Standard, and third-party software based on the protocol and standard.
Where it is used
The combination of high resolution, global shutter, and 120 fps suits fine-detail material/product inspection at line speed, installations that benefit from CoaXPress’s high bandwidth and long-distance transmission, and applications needing a choice between standard and ultra-compact mounting.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
