Workstation measurement profile
Mono imaging at 30.7 fps through USB 3.0 makes MV-CH120-60UM a workstation-oriented 12.3 MP camera. Its 1.1-inch Stacked BSI CMOS sensor records 4096 × 3000 in Mono 8 with 3.45 µm pixels and a global shutter. Dynamic range is 67.5 dB, exposure extends from 45 µs to 10 sec and gain covers 0 dB to 12 dB. A C-mount is built into the 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm body, whose approximate mass is 80 g.
This output is suited to dimensional measurement, fiducial location and contrast-based surface inspection beside the processing host. At 30.7 fps, global exposures provide regular views of indexed or moving parts without line-by-line geometric skew. The 6-pin P7 connector gives the machine one isolated input, one isolated output and a bidirectional non-isolated line. USB 3.0 can supply 5 VDC to the camera at typical consumption of 2.2 W, or the installation can provide 9 VDC to 24 VDC externally.
MV-CH120-60UM is the explicitly mono single-link USB model at 4096 × 3000 and 30.7 fps. MV-CH120-20UM V4.0 is another mono USB choice, using a 1-inch OnSemi XGS12000 and 4096 × 3072 at 28 fps. MV-CH120-60GM retains the Stacked BSI sensor and mono 4096 × 3000 format, then changes to Gigabit Ethernet with PoE at 9.5 fps. MV-CH120-60VM uses dual USB 3.0 to reach 60.2 fps with the same resolution and mono output.

Selection and applications
Mono USB measurement at 30.7 fps. Global-shutter inspection at 4096 × 3000. Triggered contrast analysis beside a host.
Minimum kit: MV-CH120-60UM, a C-mount lens and a USB 3.0 cable with 5 VDC USB power, or a 9 VDC to 24 VDC external source, provide the minimum setup.
Nearby in the range: MV-CH120-60VM — Choose it for mono 4096 × 3000 capture at 60.2 fps over dual USB 3.0.; MV-CH120-60GM — Choose it for mono 4096 × 3000 over Gigabit Ethernet with PoE at 9.5 fps..

FAQ
What frame and pixel format does MV-CH120-60UM output?
The camera delivers 4096 × 3000 Mono 8 at up to 30.7 fps. Its 1.1-inch Stacked BSI array uses 3.45 µm × 3.45 µm pixels and exposes with a global shutter.
Can a single USB 3.0 cable provide the camera supply?
USB 3.0 power is supported at 5 VDC, where typical consumption is 2.2 W. The camera also accepts an external 9 VDC to 24 VDC input when power is separated from the USB data route.
Which exposure and gain limits are available for mono acquisition?
The exposure range is 45 µs to 10 sec and gain is adjustable from 0 dB to 12 dB. These settings accompany a 67.5 dB dynamic range and a global shutter.
How can a trigger and an output event be wired to this USB model?
The 6-pin P7 connection carries one opto-isolated input on Line 0, one opto-isolated output on Line 1 and one bidirectional non-isolated I/O on Line 2. They provide external timing alongside USB image transfer.
When does the dual-USB MV-CH120-60VM provide a clear difference?
MV-CH120-60VM keeps mono output, the 1.1-inch Stacked BSI sensor and 4096 × 3000 resolution but raises the rate to 60.2 fps through dual USB 3.0. This model uses one USB 3.0 interface at 30.7 fps.
