USB monochrome detail and alternatives
A 4096 × 3000 monochrome image over USB 3.0 makes MV-CH120-10UM a direct-connect 12.3 MP measurement camera. Its 1.1-inch Sony IMX304 global-shutter sensor uses 3.45 µm pixels and reaches 23.1 fps. The combination supports detailed boundary, position and surface analysis where monochrome output and USB transfer fit the station architecture.
UltraShort exposure from 2 µs to 14 µs supports moving objects, while standard exposure extends from 15 µs to 10 sec. USB 3.0 can supply the camera at a typical 3.5 W from 5 V DC, with a separate 12 V DC input also listed. Hardware triggering is available through the 6-pin Hirose connector's isolated input and output.
MV-CH120-11UM keeps the IMX304, 4096 × 3000 monochrome image and USB 3.0 but reaches 30.3 fps. MV-CH120-10CM changes to IMX253 and Camera Link, providing 50.9 fps in the full-width mode. MV-CH090-60GM V5.0 offers a wider, shorter 4200 × 2160 monochrome image at 13.5 fps over Gigabit Ethernet. Pick this model for 23.1 fps USB monochrome acquisition.

Selection and applications
Detailed monochrome measurement over USB. Short-exposure checks of large moving parts. Surface-contrast inspection at 12.3 MP.
Minimum kit: MV-CH120-10UM, a 1.1-inch C-mount lens, a USB 3.0 cable, and either USB 3.0 bus power or a 12 V DC supply form the minimum imaging set.
Nearby in the range: MV-CH120-11UM — Prefer it for the same 4096 × 3000 IMX304 monochrome image at 30.3 fps.; MV-CH120-10CM — Prefer it for 4096 × 3000 monochrome output at 50.9 fps over Camera Link.; MV-CH090-60GM V5.0 — Prefer it for a 4200 × 2160 monochrome image at 13.5 fps over Gigabit Ethernet..

FAQ
What monochrome image rate is provided through USB 3.0?
The listed maximum is 23.1 fps at 4096 × 3000. Output is monochrome from a 1.1-inch IMX304 global-shutter sensor, and the interface is compatible with USB 2.0 as well as USB 3.0.
Can the USB connection supply camera power during acquisition?
Yes. USB 3.0 power is supported, with typical consumption of 3.5 W at 5 V DC. A separate 12 V DC input is also available when the camera power and I/O are integrated into machine wiring.
What C-mount lens coverage does the IMX304 require?
Select a C-mount lens covering the 1.1-inch sensor and resolving the 3.45 µm pixel pitch over 4096 × 3000. The needed focal length follows from target dimensions and working distance.
How short can exposure be for a moving monochrome target?
UltraShort mode extends from 2 µs to 14 µs, while standard exposure begins at 15 µs and reaches 10 sec. The global shutter exposes the entire image together, supporting geometry-sensitive moving-part capture.
Which housing limits should be considered at installation?
The body measures 44 mm × 29 mm × 59 mm and weighs approximately 100 g. It operates from 0 °C to 50 °C, and IP30 applies when the lens and wiring are installed correctly.
