Engineering use and neighbours
The 1-inch OnSemi XGS12000 supplies a 4096 × 3072 mono image with 3.2 µm sampling in MV-CH120-20GM V4.0. At full frame the camera delivers 9.6 fps in Mono 8 over Gigabit Ethernet. A global shutter, 66.4 dB dynamic range and exposure modes extending from 52 µs to 10 sec support controlled measurement rather than colour analysis. The compact 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm enclosure carries a C-mount and a 6-pin P7 power-and-I/O connector.
Mono output is appropriate for dimensional edges, alignment marks and contrast-based surface defects on parts that move or stop under a trigger. Simultaneous pixel exposure prevents the line-by-line geometry error associated with motion, while the isolated Line 0 input accepts a timing signal. A PoE installation can combine power and the 1000 Mbit/s data path on one cable; alternatively the camera accepts 9 VDC to 24 VDC. IP40 protection assumes correct lens installation and wiring.
MV-CH120-20GM V4.0 is the networked mono choice in its OnSemi pair. MV-CH120-20GC V4.0 shares 4096 × 3072, 9.6 fps and PoE but records Bayer RG 8 colour. MV-CH120-20UM V4.0 preserves the mono sensor format and raises full-frame rate to 28 fps over USB 3.0. MV-CH120-60GM changes to a 1.1-inch Stacked BSI sensor and a 4096 × 3000 frame while remaining a mono Gigabit Ethernet camera at 9.5 fps.

Selection and applications
Mono dimensional inspection at 4096 × 3072. PoE machine-vision nodes at 9.6 fps. Triggered surface checks with a global shutter.
Minimum kit: MV-CH120-20GM V4.0, a C-mount lens, a Gigabit Ethernet cable and PoE or 9 VDC to 24 VDC power are sufficient for basic acquisition.
Nearby in the range: MV-CH120-20GC V4.0 — Choose it when Bayer RG 8 colour is needed at 4096 × 3072 and 9.6 fps.; MV-CH120-20UM V4.0 — Choose it for the same mono frame at 28 fps over USB 3.0..

FAQ
Which measurement details define MV-CH120-20GM V4.0?
It records Mono 8 at 4096 × 3072 using a 1-inch OnSemi XGS12000 with 3.2 µm × 3.2 µm pixels. The global shutter and 66.4 dB dynamic range are the key imaging parameters for edge and intensity measurements.
What is required to power this Gigabit Ethernet camera?
The accepted input range is 9 VDC to 24 VDC, and PoE is supported. Typical consumption is 2.6 W at 12 VDC. Power and I/O are also available through the 6-pin P7 connector when PoE is not used.
How should the 9.6 fps ceiling be interpreted at full frame?
The camera is rated for 9.6 fps at 4096 × 3072 in Mono 8 over the 1000 Mbit/s Gigabit Ethernet interface. Fast Ethernet compatibility is provided at 100 Mbit/s, but it offers a smaller transport channel.
What trigger connections are exposed for machine timing?
The P7 connector includes one opto-isolated input on Line 0, one opto-isolated output on Line 1 and one bidirectional non-isolated line. These signals allow capture timing and an external event to be coordinated with the global shutter.
When does MV-CH120-20UM V4.0 become the closer fit?
Choose the USB model when the same mono 4096 × 3072 OnSemi XGS12000 image is needed at 28 fps. Keep MV-CH120-20GM V4.0 when a 9.6 fps Gigabit Ethernet route with PoE matches the installation.
