HIKROBOT MV-CS050-60GC V5 — Area Scan Cameras
5 MP, Stacked BSI, GigE, Color, 24.4 fps

The MV-CS050-60GC V5 pairs the Stacked BSI color sensor with the V5 platform: 24.4 fps at 2448 × 2048 in Bayer GR 8, 42.4 dB SNR, 73.9 dB dynamic range and a typical draw of only 1.4 W at 12 VDC. Gain and exposure are set per mode — 0–12.8 dB and 45 μs to 10 s in high full well capacity mode, 0–24 dB and 5 μs to 10 s in high sensitivity mode. It is the fastest and most power-efficient of the 5 MP GigE color options in this CS series group.
A single Gigabit Ethernet cable (100 m reach, PoE powered) is enough for data and power; where a PoE switch is not used, 9–24 VDC on the 6-pin P7 connector takes over. Trigger and strobe are wired to the P7 connector’s opto-isolated input (Line 0), opto-isolated output (Line 1) and bi-directional Line 2. Color processing — CCM, Super Palette, Super Bayer — and automatic or manual white balance, gain, exposure, LUT and Gamma run in-camera, with Sequencer for per-frame parameter changes; the 29 × 29 × 42 mm, approx. 100 g housing is GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam compliant.

Where it is used
The camera is aimed at color inspection where installations are dense and PoE-powered: multiple viewpoints on packaging lines, print verification stations and sorting cells that need consistent color rendering at 5 MP. Its high full well mode handles strongly lit, reflective scenes, while the 5 μs high-sensitivity exposure is available for short-pulse strobe lighting and moving products.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
