HIKROBOT MV-CH120-60UC V5 — Area Scan Cameras
12 MP, Stacked BSI, USB3.0, Color, 31.3 fps
For those after color imaging at 12 MP with the highest USB3.0 frame rate, the MV-CH120-60UC V5 delivers 31.3 fps at 4096 × 3000 in Bayer GB 8. It is built on the 1.1-inch Stacked BSI global shutter CMOS with 3.45 μm pixels, 44.1 dB SNR and 67.2 dB dynamic range, and offers a 0–24 dB gain span and 20 μs–10 s exposure. That wide gain range helps saturated colors come through at short exposures without going dark, and the typical 2 W draw is low for a color USB3.0 camera in the CH series.
Output format is chosen to suit the job: raw Bayer GB 8/10/12, YUV422 or RGB 8 / BGR 8, and because white balance, CCM, Super Bayer and Super Palette are applied in the camera, color correction does not load the host. USB 3.0 carries both the 31.3 fps stream and the supply, with the P7 connector available for 9–24 VDC external power; its opto-isolated input and output and bi-directional non-isolated line are set aside for triggering and strobe sync. The four-side-mountable 29 × 29 × 30 mm, 80 g body, –10 °C to 50 °C operating range and USB3 Vision / GenICam compliance fit existing fixtures and software.

Where it is used
On belts where fruit and vegetables are sorted quickly by color, blemish and ripeness, a 12 MP color frame at 31.3 fps allows grading without slowing the product flow. Pattern drift and color consistency checks on textiles and carpets, or tone matching in cosmetics, are tasks where saturated colors must be read accurately, and the wide gain range plus in-camera color processing stand out. Matching cap or label color to product variant on packaging lines is another fitting application.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
