Dual-USB colour role
Dual USB 3.0 transport is the distinguishing feature of MV-CH120-60VC, a colour 12.3 MP camera delivering 4096 × 3000 Bayer GB 8 at 60.2 fps. The 1.1-inch Stacked BSI CMOS sensor combines 3.45 µm pixels with a global shutter, 75.7 dB dynamic range and exposure from 20 µs to 10 sec. C-mount optics attach to a 29 mm × 44 mm × 59 mm enclosure. Both USB interfaces are compatible with USB 2.0, although the dual USB 3.0 arrangement defines this variant.
Colour marking, print and assembly-state checks can use the detailed frame while parts advance through a local inspection station. Simultaneous exposure preserves registration on moving features, and the 6-pin P7 input can receive an external trigger. The connector also supplies an isolated output and a bidirectional non-isolated line. The dual USB 3.0 interfaces can provide 5 VDC power at a typical 3.7 W draw; the alternative camera supply range is 12 VDC to 24 VDC.
MV-CH120-60VC is the colour member of the dual-USB pair. MV-CH120-60VM keeps the 4096 × 3000 Stacked BSI platform and dual USB 3.0 but changes to Mono 8 at the same 60.2 fps. MV-CH120-60UC uses a single USB 3.0 interface and a shorter 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm body at 30.7 fps. For network transport, MV-CH120-60GC provides Bayer GB 8 colour at 10 fps through Gigabit Ethernet with PoE.

Selection and applications
60.2 fps colour inspection over dual USB 3.0. Registration checks using 4096 × 3000 frames. Global-shutter capture from 20 µs.
Minimum kit: MV-CH120-60VC, a C-mount lens, dual USB 3.0 cabling and USB-supplied 5 VDC or an external 12 VDC to 24 VDC source form the minimum system.
Nearby in the range: MV-CH120-60VM — Prefer it for Mono 8 at 60.2 fps through dual USB 3.0; MV-CH120-60UC — Prefer it for 4096 × 3000 at 30.7 fps in a 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm USB body.

FAQ
What does the dual USB 3.0 configuration carry at full frame?
MV-CH120-60VC delivers 4096 × 3000 Bayer GB 8 at up to 60.2 fps through dual USB 3.0. The interfaces are also listed as compatible with USB 2.0, which has lower transport capacity.
Which sensor and optical geometry should the lens cover?
The camera uses a 1.1-inch Stacked BSI sensor with 3.45 µm × 3.45 µm pixels and a C-mount. Its active image grid is 4096 × 3000, providing the geometry for lens coverage and resolution checks.
How is power supplied when both USB interfaces are connected?
The dual USB 3.0 interfaces can provide the specified 5 VDC supply, with typical consumption of 3.7 W. The camera may instead be powered from an external 12 VDC to 24 VDC source.
What shutter settings support moving colour-feature capture?
The sensor exposes globally and permits settings from 20 µs to 10 sec. The P7 connector has an opto-isolated input for timing, plus an isolated output and bidirectional line for coordination with the machine.
How does the mono MV-CH120-60VM change the dual-USB operating point?
It keeps the Stacked BSI sensor, C-mount, dual USB 3.0 and 4096 × 3000 grid, but supplies Mono 8 at 60.2 fps. MV-CH120-60VC supplies Bayer GB 8 colour at 60.2 fps.
