HIKROBOT MV-CH120-10UC — Area Scan Cameras
12 MP, Sony IMX304, USB3.0, Color, 30.5 fps
The MV-CH120-10UC is the V4-generation USB 3.0 color variant in the 12 MP CH family. Its 1.1″ Sony® IMX304 global shutter sensor delivers 4096 × 3000 frames in Bayer RG 8 at up to 30.5 fps, and the 3.45 μm pixels, 40.2 dB SNR and 70.4 dB dynamic range preserve fine color gradients alongside high spatial detail. Besides raw Bayer, the camera can output YUV422 and RGB 8 / BGR 8 directly.
It draws a typical 3.2 W at 5 VDC from the USB 3.0 port, with a 9–24 VDC external input and USB 2.0 fallback available. Triggering can be by hardware, software or free run; the P7 connector carries Line 0 (opto-isolated input), Line 1 (opto-isolated output) and Line 2 (bi-directional). On the color side, Super Bayer and Super Palette are supported alongside LSC and Sequencer, and the 29 × 29 × 30 mm, roughly 80 g body follows USB3 Vision and GenICam.

Where it is used
Color at 12 MP and 30.5 fps lets one camera handle label and print quality inspection, verification of multi-color wire and connector arrangements, and color or pattern checks on textiles and leather. Reading color-coded components and markings in electronics assembly is another natural use. Since it runs on bus power, it slots into benchtop quality stations without a separate supply.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
