Tasks and place in the range
A 4096 × 3072 colour frame over a conventional Gigabit Ethernet link characterises MV-CH120-20GC V4.0. The 12.6 MP camera is built around the 1-inch OnSemi XGS12000, whose 3.2 µm pixels use a global shutter. It reaches 9.6 fps with Bayer RG 8 output and provides 66.4 dB dynamic range. The 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm body accepts C-mount lenses and can take 9 VDC to 24 VDC or PoE.
The camera fits colour classification, printed-feature verification and assembly-state inspection where detail matters more than a high temporal sample rate. Global exposure preserves the geometry of parts that index through the field, while an isolated input on the 6-pin P7 connection can receive the machine trigger. PoE allows the Gigabit Ethernet line to carry both data and power, simplifying a distributed inspection point. Its –10 °C to 50 °C working range covers temperature-controlled machinery and cabinets.
Within the OnSemi XGS12000 group, MV-CH120-20GM V4.0 keeps 9.6 fps and Gigabit Ethernet but changes from colour to mono. MV-CH120-20UC V4.0 retains colour and 4096 × 3072, then raises the ceiling to 28 fps through USB 3.0. MV-CH120-60NC instead combines colour, the same frame dimensions and a Stacked BSI sensor with 24 fps over 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet. Choose this model when PoE and the 9.6 fps network architecture match the machine cycle.

Selection and applications
Colour verification at 4096 × 3072. PoE-connected inspection at 9.6 fps. Global-shutter capture of indexed assemblies.
Minimum kit: MV-CH120-20GC V4.0, a C-mount lens, a Gigabit Ethernet cable and either PoE or a 9 VDC to 24 VDC supply make up the minimum kit.
Nearby in the range: MV-CH120-20GM V4.0 — Use it for mono output at the same 4096 × 3072 resolution and 9.6 fps.; MV-CH120-20UC V4.0 — Use it when colour capture at 28 fps and USB 3.0 suit the host layout..

FAQ
What lens interface is provided for the 1-inch XGS12000 sensor?
The camera has a C-mount in front of the 1-inch OnSemi XGS12000. The sensor uses 3.2 µm × 3.2 µm pixels and records 4096 × 3072, so lens coverage and resolving capability should be assessed for that format and sampling pitch.
Can MV-CH120-20GC V4.0 run from its Ethernet connection alone?
Yes. Its supply specification is 9 VDC to 24 VDC and explicitly supports PoE. With PoE infrastructure, the Gigabit Ethernet cable can carry data and power; typical consumption is 2.7 W at 12 VDC.
How fast is the full-resolution Bayer stream on this version?
The stated maximum is 9.6 fps at 4096 × 3072 in Bayer RG 8. Data uses Gigabit Ethernet at 1000 Mbit/s, and the interface is also compatible with Fast Ethernet at 100 Mbit/s.
Which shutter and exposure ranges support triggered moving-part capture?
The OnSemi XGS12000 is specified with a global shutter. UltraShort exposure mode runs from 52 µs to 161 µs, while standard exposure starts at 162 µs and extends to 10 sec. The P7 connector supplies one opto-isolated trigger input.
How does the GigE colour version differ from MV-CH120-20UC V4.0?
Both use the colour OnSemi XGS12000 at 4096 × 3072 with C-mount optics. MV-CH120-20GC V4.0 reaches 9.6 fps over Gigabit Ethernet and supports PoE; MV-CH120-20UC V4.0 reaches 28 fps over USB 3.0 and supports USB power.
