High-rate USB positioning
At 60.2 fps and 4096 × 3000, MV-CH120-60VM doubles the temporal reach of the nearby single-link USB mono camera while retaining a 12.3 MP frame. Its 1.1-inch Stacked BSI CMOS sensor uses 3.45 µm pixels and a global shutter. Mono 8 data travels through dual USB 3.0 interfaces, with USB 2.0 compatibility. The camera accepts C-mount optics and packages the sensor and dual connectors in a 29 mm × 44 mm × 59 mm body.
The high-rate mono stream is suited to moving-edge measurement, contrast-based defect detection and repeated observation of a fast mechanism near its processing host. A global shutter holds object geometry within each frame, while 60.2 fps reduces the interval between observations compared with the 30.7 fps single-USB model. The 4096 × 3000 grid supplies spatial detail across a 1.1-inch sensor without adding colour sampling to the data path.
MV-CH120-60VM is the mono, higher-rate member of the dual-USB pair; MV-CH120-60VC uses the same sensor size, resolution and enclosure but outputs Bayer GB 8 colour at 30 fps. MV-CH120-60UM retains Mono 8 and 4096 × 3000 while using a single USB 3.0 link at 31.3 fps in a 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm body. MV-CH120-60TM-C-NF raises mono capture to 80 fps and moves transport to 10 Gigabit Ethernet.

Selection and applications
60.2 fps mono inspection beside a host. High-rate edge measurement at 4096 × 3000. Global-shutter capture over dual USB 3.0.
Minimum kit: MV-CH120-60VM, a C-mount lens, dual USB 3.0 data cabling and the camera power connection form the minimum acquisition set.
Nearby in the range: MV-CH120-60VC — Select it for Bayer GB 8 colour at 30 fps over dual USB 3.0; MV-CH120-60UM — Select it for Mono 8 at 31.3 fps through one USB 3.0 interface.

FAQ
What full-frame output is stated for MV-CH120-60VM?
The camera delivers 4096 × 3000 Mono 8 at a maximum of 60.2 fps. Its Stacked BSI CMOS sensor has a 1.1-inch format, 3.45 µm × 3.45 µm pixels and a global shutter.
Why does this model expose two USB 3.0 interfaces?
The data interface is explicitly dual USB 3.0, with USB 2.0 compatibility. That configuration carries the camera's 4096 × 3000 Mono 8 stream at the stated 60.2 fps operating point.
Which lens mount is built into the dual-link mono housing?
The optical interface is C-mount. The camera body measures 29 mm × 44 mm × 59 mm, so mechanical integration must reserve room for that longer dual-USB enclosure and the selected lens.
How does global exposure help at the 60.2 fps operating point?
The global shutter exposes the complete 4096 × 3000 image together. Moving edges are therefore sampled at one instant rather than progressively, which supports geometric analysis from consecutive Mono 8 frames.
When is MV-CH120-60UM the lower-rate USB alternative?
MV-CH120-60UM is appropriate when one USB 3.0 interface and 31.3 fps are sufficient. It retains Mono 8, the 1.1-inch Stacked BSI sensor, 4096 × 3000 resolution and C-mount.
