Camera Link color modes and range position
A 12.3 MP color stream over Camera Link is the defining capability of MV-CH120-10CC. Its 1.1-inch Sony IMX253 global-shutter sensor uses 3.45 µm pixels and delivers 4096 × 3000 Bayer RG 8 at 51.4 fps in Base, Medium or Full configuration. The camera suits detailed color inspection that must maintain a substantial frame rate through an SDR Camera Link path.
Color patterns, print and assembled features can be checked while the global shutter keeps moving geometry consistent. Exposure extends from 1 µs to 10 sec, and gain reaches 24 dB. An alternate 80-bit mode outputs 3840 × 3000 Bayer RG 8 at 68.1 fps, trading some image width for additional frame rate.
MV-CH120-10CM is the monochrome Camera Link partner, reaching 50.9 fps at 4096 × 3000 and 69.8 fps in its 3840 × 3000 mode. MV-CH120-10GC provides the 4096 × 3000 color image at 9.4 fps over Gigabit Ethernet with PoE. MV-CH120-11UC reaches 30.3 fps through USB 3.0. Pick this model for the higher-rate IMX253 color Camera Link path.

FAQ
Which Camera Link modes retain the full 4096-pixel width?
Base, Medium and Full modes produce 4096 × 3000 Bayer RG 8 at up to 51.4 fps. The separate 80-bit operating point uses 3840 × 3000 and raises the listed maximum to 68.1 fps.
What optical coverage does the 1.1-inch IMX253 require?
The camera uses a C-mount and a 1.1-inch sensor with 3.45 µm pixels. Select optics that cover the full format and resolve the 4096 × 3000 color image at the intended magnification.
How is MV-CH120-10CC powered and connected for I/O?
The power input accepts 9 V DC to 24 V DC, with typical consumption of 4.5 W at 12 V DC. The 6-pin P7 connector also carries isolated input and output plus a bidirectional non-isolated line.
Can the camera freeze rapid motion in a color inspection?
Its IMX253 uses a global shutter, and exposure can begin at 1 µs. Those facts support short, simultaneous capture of moving color features when the illumination supplies adequate signal for the selected setting.
What operating conditions and enclosure rating apply?
Operation is specified from 0 °C to 50 °C, with 20% RH to 80% RH and no condensation. The body is rated IP30 when the lens and wiring have been installed correctly.
