HIKROBOT MV-CH120-10GC(EoL) — Area Scan Cameras
12 MP, Sony IMX304, GigE, Color, 9.4 fps

Offering the color version of the Sony® IMX304 sensor over GigE, the MV-CH120-10GC(EoL) streams a 4096 × 3000 frame at 9.4 fps in Bayer GR, YUV422 or RGB/BGR 8. The 3.45 μm pixels and 1.1-inch optical format keep the 40.2 dB SNR and 72.2 dB dynamic range. HIKROBOT lists the model in delisting preparation; newer versions with the same sensor take over its place in the CH family.
The camera is powered from a 12 VDC input or via PoE (typically 4.6 W), and the GigE link can run 100 meters without a relay. The 128 MB local memory helps avoid frame loss during network congestion and supports retransmission. The 6-pin Hirose connector holds one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bi-directional line; auto exposure, LUT and Gamma correction are handled in-camera, and the 44 × 29 × 59 mm body pairs with C-mount lenses and GigE Vision V2.0 / GenICam compliant software.

Where it is used
12 MP color resolution fits jobs where subtle color transitions and small print are judged together: color and register control on large label and carton prints, wiring-harness verification by color code, and visual grading of agricultural produce. The 9.4 fps rate targets stationary or indexed stations; it can also be considered as a spare for lines already built around this model.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
