HIKROBOT MV-CH120-11UC — Area Scan Cameras
12 MP, Sony IMX304, USB3.0, Color, 30.3 fps

The color MV-CH120-11UC is the high-speed USB 3.0 version in the 12 MP CH family, producing 4096 × 3000 Bayer RG 8 frames at 30.3 fps from the Sony® IMX304 sensor (1.1″, 3.45 μm, global shutter). It offers 72.2 dB dynamic range and 40.2 dB SNR together with YUV422 and RGB 8 / BGR 8 output options. Note that HIKROBOT keeps this model in delisting preparation; for new designs the current color USB 3.0 options should take priority.
USB 3.0 bus power at a typical 4.7 W (5 VDC) is used, with a 9–24 VDC external input and USB 2.0 compatibility available. Gain and exposure can be set automatically or manually, Gamma and LUT manually; triggering is by hardware, software or free run, and the P7 connector provides the opto-isolated input/output and bi-directional line. Customized ROI and reverse image output are supported; the 44 × 29 × 59 mm IP30 body operates at 0–50 °C and complies with USB3 Vision / GenICam.

- Supports customized ROI, and horizontal and vertical reverse image output.
- Compatible with USB3 Vision Protocol, GenICam Standard, and the third-party software based on these protocol and standard.
Where it is used
It is a suitable replacement unit for maintaining identical image quality on existing color inspection lines covering package printing, label placement and color-coded part verification. The 30.3 fps rate covers color 12 MP capture on indexed lines without dropped frames. Reading only the relevant region via ROI lets USB bandwidth be spent on the areas that matter.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
