Where the 2.5 GigE variant fits
Colour acquisition at 24 fps over 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet distinguishes MV-CH120-60NC from the slower Gigabit Ethernet members of the CH120 group. Its Stacked BSI CMOS sensor has a 1.1-inch format, 3.45 µm pixels and a global shutter. The 4096 × 3072 Bayer RG 8 frame corresponds to 12.6 MP. A C-mount is integrated into a compact 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm enclosure, providing a networked high-detail camera where neither USB nor a CoaXPress receiver is part of the layout.
The combination suits colour-coded part checks, print registration and assembly verification at machine cycles that need more than the 9.5 fps Gigabit Ethernet variants. Global exposure captures moving geometry in one time interval, and the 24 fps sequence supplies repeated observations as material advances. The 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet interface is also compatible with Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet, enabling connection to those network classes when the installation does not require the full-rate stream.
MV-CH120-60NC is paired most directly with MV-CH120-60NM, which keeps 4096 × 3072, 24 fps and the same enclosure but changes Bayer RG 8 colour to Mono 8. MV-CH120-60GC offers colour through Gigabit Ethernet at 10 fps and uses a slightly shorter 4096 × 3000 frame. MV-CH120-60TC-C-NF V2.0 retains the 4096 × 3072 colour format and raises the ceiling to 80 fps over 10 Gigabit Ethernet in a fan-cooled 50 mm × 45 mm × 68.6 mm body.

Selection and applications
Colour feature checks at 24 fps. Global-shutter inspection at 4096 × 3072. Distributed capture over 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet.
Minimum kit: MV-CH120-60NC, a C-mount lens, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet cabling and a suitable camera power connection make up the minimum image-acquisition chain.
Nearby in the range: MV-CH120-60NM — Choose it for Mono 8 with the same 4096 × 3072 resolution and 24 fps rate; MV-CH120-60GC — Choose it for colour at 10 fps over Gigabit Ethernet with PoE.

FAQ
What is the rated full-frame output of MV-CH120-60NC?
The camera produces 4096 × 3072 Bayer RG 8 at up to 24 fps. Its 12.6 MP Stacked BSI sensor uses a 1.1-inch format, 3.45 µm × 3.45 µm pixels and a global shutter.
Will the 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet interface connect to slower networks?
Yes. The interface is described as 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet and is compatible with Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet. The 24 fps figure belongs to the full 4096 × 3072 output, so link capacity remains part of rate planning.
Which lens attachment and body dimensions guide integration?
MV-CH120-60NC uses C-mount optics. Its enclosure measures 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm, so the camera can be positioned in a small mechanical envelope while leaving clearance for the lens and network connection.
Why does the global shutter matter for Bayer RG 8 inspection?
A global shutter exposes the 4096 × 3072 array at one time. That preserves the shape and registration of a moving colour feature, allowing Bayer RG 8 measurements to be associated with one object position.
Which neighbouring model removes colour sampling but keeps the rate?
MV-CH120-60NM keeps the Stacked BSI sensor size, 4096 × 3072 frame, 24 fps ceiling, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet interface, C-mount and 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm enclosure, but its output is Mono 8.
