HIKROBOT MV-CH120-20UC — Area Scan Cameras
12 MP, OnSemi XGS12000, USB3.0, Color, 28 fps
For high-resolution jobs where color carries the decision, the MV-CH120-20UC brings the color version of the XGS12000 global shutter sensor into the CH series USB3.0 line. It reaches 28 fps at 4096 × 3072 in Bayer RG 8, sharing the 3.2 μm pixel, 40 dB SNR and 68 dB dynamic range of its mono counterpart; the difference lies in the color filter and the output formats. Beyond raw Bayer data it can output YUV422 and RGB 8 / BGR 8 directly, so color conversion can happen in the camera rather than on the host.
At 29 × 29 × 30 mm and roughly 80 g the camera slips into tight lines and existing fixtures, and the mounting holes on all four faces leave the orientation up to you. The color version draws a typical 3.2 W at 5 VDC from the USB 3.0 port, keeps backward compatibility with USB 2.0, and can take 9–24 VDC through the P7 connector when bus power is not wanted. That same 6-pin connector exposes the isolated input and output plus a non-isolated bi-directional line for strobe sync and PLC triggering, while gain, exposure, LUT and Gamma can be set automatically or by hand, with custom ROI and horizontal/vertical image reversal available on top.

Where it is used
Color shift, missing color separations or wrong-variant checks on label and packaging print can be handled in one 12 MP color frame. Wire-order verification in color-coded harnesses and confirmation of colored components and markings on electronic boards need both resolution and color, which this model provides together. Pattern inspection on textiles and decorative surfaces, and full-resolution visual grading in food packaging, are further natural fits.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
