MV-CH120-20UC V4.0

Trade-off — needs agreement

The search threshold is met, but this is not a replacement without trade-offs.

Trade-offs to settle before you choose:

Frame rate: 28 instead of 32.1 fps (-12.77 %).
The lens mount differs: check the fit and the flange distance of your current lens.
Pixel size, X: 3.2 instead of 3.45 µm (-7.25 %); the field of view will change with the same lens.
Pixel size, Y: 3.2 instead of 3.45 µm (-7.25 %); the field of view will change with the same lens.

With the same lens and working distance, on the full frame, the field of view changes: -7.25 % in width, -5.02 % in height. A smaller image circle is required — part of the field the existing lens covers goes unused.
