Why MV-MS136GC

Core Advantages

Six defining capabilities that set this coaxial camera apart for embedded industrial vision

14×14mm

Ultra-Compact Body

14×14×48mm full dimensions, 11.5×11.5mm module cross-section — fits through ~16mm mounting holes and inside placement equipment chambers

≤20g

Ultra-Lightweight

Total weight under 20g; 12-camera array adds only ~240g at arm end — minimal payload impact for robotic arm guidance

1 Cable

Single SMA Coaxial

Image data, hardware trigger, and power through one SMA cable — simplified cabling, inherent EMI suppression, up to 15m transmission distance

120fps

High Frame Rate

1080×1280 @ 120fps single camera; 70fps with 12-camera simultaneous input — only 58% frame rate reduction in multi-camera mode

Detailed Parameters

Every parameter with engineering context — not just numbers, but why they matter

Sensor Parameters
Sensor TypeCMOS
Low power consumption, high integration, fast readout speed — the optimal choice for embedded vision applications where power and space budgets are constrained
Optical Format1/4"
Smaller sensor die enables the ultra-compact 14×14mm body design — a direct trade-off where reduced format yields critical physical integration advantage
Pixel Size2.7μm × 2.7μm
Engineering balance between resolution density and light sensitivity — mono version achieves 15.7% higher sensitivity (8250 vs 7120 mV/lux·s) due to absence of color filter array
Shutter TypeGlobal Shutter
All pixels expose simultaneously — no rolling shutter distortion artifacts, enables microsecond-level multi-camera time synchronization, and compatible with pulsed/strobe flash lighting for consistent illumination
Effective Pixels1.3MP (1080×1280)
Lower data volume keeps bus bandwidth manageable — critical for sustaining 12-camera 70fps synchronous throughput without frame drops
AD Bit DepthColor 12-bit / Mono 10-bit
Color version outputs 4096 gray levels for superior color reproduction and gradient fidelity; mono version uses 1024 levels optimized for efficient data transmission in multi-camera configurations
Performance Parameters
Signal-to-Noise Ratio40 dB
Signal power 10,000× noise floor — clean image baseline, further improved with ISP 3D noise reduction algorithm for sequential frame correlation
Dynamic RangeLinear 66 dB / WDR >100 dB
WDR >100dB is the core competitive advantage — simultaneous visibility of bright and dark areas within a single frame, essential for high-contrast inspection scenes (chip emission vs. substrate reflection)
SensitivityColor 7120 / Mono 8250 mV/lux·s
Mono version 15.7% higher sensitivity — superior low-light performance for dark-environment inspection scenarios where external illumination is restricted
Resolution & Frame Rate1080×1280 @ 120fps / 70fps
120fps single camera; 70fps with 12-camera simultaneous input — only 58% frame rate reduction, maintaining production-line throughput in multi-position configurations
Output Bit Depth10-bit
Video output: RGB 8/12-bit (Color) / Mono 8/12-bit (Mono) — selectable bit depth for bandwidth vs. quality trade-off
Max Gain16.5×
Amplifies signal in extremely low-light conditions — note: high gain amplifies noise proportionally, recommended to pair with 3D noise reduction for usable results
Exposure Time0.0105–688 ms
Minimum 10.5μs with global shutter virtually eliminates motion blur — captures weld transient states and high-speed line inspection without smearing
Trigger ModesContinuous / Software / Hardware
Hardware trigger enables microsecond-level synchronization across multiple cameras — essential for coordinated multi-position inspection on production lines
User Data Area64 KB
Non-volatile storage for calibration data and custom LUT — reduces per-deployment setup time, enables pre-loaded configuration for rapid field deployment
Electrical Parameters
InterfaceSMA Coaxial
Single cable carries data + trigger + power — simplified cabling, inherent EMI suppression from coaxial shielding, reliable 15m transmission distance
Power Consumption5V 1A (5W)
Ultra-low power enables passive cooling and lightweight design — no heat sink required, compatible with battery-powered portable inspection setups
CoolingPassive (Aluminum Body)
Aluminum housing acts as heat spreader — no fan noise, no fan failure risk, no vibration interference with image stability, maintenance-free
Structural & Environmental
Lens MountM12
Standard embedded vision mount — abundant lens options at low cost, from wide-angle to telecentric, enabling optics customization per application
Dimensions14×14×48mm
Module cross-section 11.5×11.5mm — fits through ~16mm mounting holes; threaded mount compatible with robotic arm installation adapters
Weight<20g
No significant arm-end load impact; 12-camera total weight only ~240g — suitable for lightweight payload robotic arms (500g class)
Protection RatingIP40
Prevents solid intrusion ≥1mm — suitable for indoor industrial environments; for harsher conditions, custom enclosure solutions available
Operating Temperature0°C ~ 50°C
Storage: -30°C ~ 60°C — wide storage range ensures safe transport and warehouse resilience
Operating Humidity20% ~ 80% RH
Non-condensing; storage 20%~95% RH non-condensing — suitable for typical indoor industrial environments
Protocol & Software
OS SupportWindows & Linux
Windows XP/7/10/11 32/64-bit & Linux 32/64-bit — broad platform compatibility for diverse deployment environments
CertificationsCE, RoHS
Compliant with EU safety and environmental regulations — suitable for global export and international customer procurement requirements
