HIKROBOT MV-CH123-10UC — Area Scan Cameras
12.3 MP, Sony IMX545, USB3.0, Color, 31.5 fps

For applications that want color but stay at benchtop scale, the MV-CH123-10UC offers the 4096 × 3000 resolution of the Sony IMX545 in Bayer RG, YUV422 and RGB/BGR 8 formats. The 1/1.1″ global-shutter sensor holds 39.4 dB SNR and 69.4 dB dynamic range at 31.5 fps, and interpolation, white balance, CCM, super palette and super bayer functions handle color accuracy inside the camera. In the USB3.0 branch of the CH series, this model is the color counterpart of its monochrome twin.
A single USB 3.0 cable delivers both the image stream and power (typically 2.3 W at 5 VDC); USB 2.0 compatibility is retained, and 9–24 VDC external supply is possible through the 6-pin P7 connector when needed. For triggering, P7 offers an opto-isolated input (Line 0), an opto-isolated output (Line 1) and a non-isolated bi-directional I/O (Line 2). The newly designed 29 × 29 × 30 mm C-mount body allows four-side mounting, operates from –10 °C to 50 °C and is compatible with USB3 Vision/GenICam-based software.

Where it is used
Combining color channels with 12.3 MP resolution, this camera serves print and color verification on pharmaceutical packaging, identification of color-coded resistors and wires in electronics, and shade control on textile and leather surfaces. Its compact USB form also suits laboratory imaging, document and artwork digitization and benchtop quality-control stations.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
