Capture tasks and range position
Resolution, cadence and interface set MV-CH120-10GM apart: 4096 × 3000, 9.4 fps and Gigabit Ethernet. The CMOS sensor uses a global shutter; the image path is Gigabit Ethernet; the optical interface is C-mount. The monochrome output suits measurements and contrast-based inspection where color separation is not the measured feature.
Engineering applications include networked high-detail measurement, large-part inspection and edge-based alignment. The global shutter keeps the 4096 × 3000 frame temporally aligned on moving or indexed objects, while 9.4 fps sets the available acquisition cadence. PoE can carry power with the Ethernet link, or the camera can use a 12 V DC input.
For an adjacent option, MV-CH120-10UC pairs color output at up to 30.5 fps (V4.0) or 23.1 fps (base version) with C-mount optics. Prefer it when USB 3.0 is the required image interface. MV-CH100-60GM instead supplies 4096 × 2460 with 11.6 fps over Gigabit Ethernet. Prefer it when 11.6 fps acquisition matches the line cadence. The present model remains the 4096 × 3000, mono, Gigabit Ethernet selection.

FAQ
What motion profile suits the shutter used in MV-CH120-10GM?
Global-shutter operation keeps the 4096 × 3000 image temporally aligned for MV-CH120-10GM when parts move or index through the scene. The camera reaches 9.4 fps.
What must the host and power design provide for MV-CH120-10GM?
MV-CH120-10GM transfers images through Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbit/s), compatible with Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit/s). PoE can carry power with the Ethernet link, or the camera can use a 12 V DC input. Power consumption is 4.3 W @ 12 V DC.
How do mount and sensor format guide lens choice for MV-CH120-10GM?
The optical chain for MV-CH120-10GM is anchored by the C-mount interface. The lens must preserve detail over the stated 4096 × 3000 frame. After coverage and resolving power are checked, choose focal length from the required scene geometry.
Which installation limits matter around MV-CH120-10GM?
MV-CH120-10GM has an IP30 (under proper lens installation and wiring) enclosure and a 44 × 29 × 59 mm body. The working range is 0 to 50 °C. The humidity range is 20 to 80 % RH (no condensation). The enclosure rating and mechanical envelope should be checked against the installation environment.
How should MV-CH120-10GM be compared with MV-CH120-10UC?
MV-CH120-10GM records mono images with 9.4 fps through Gigabit Ethernet; its lens connection is C-mount. MV-CH120-10UC records color images through USB 3.0 at up to 30.5 fps (V4.0) or 23.1 fps (base version) and uses C-mount optics. Prefer it when USB 3.0 is the required image interface.
Which acquisition and image-stream details are stated for MV-CH120-10GM?
The documented image path is Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbit/s), compatible with Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit/s), delivering 4096 × 3000 at 9.4 fps. The output is Mono and the lens interface is C-mount.
