MV-CH120-60UM V5.0
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: 31.3 instead of 32.1 fps (-2.49 %).
  • The lens mount differs: check the fit and the flange distance of your current lens.
The sensor part number is not confirmed in this comparison: we compare by resolution, pixel size, frame or line rate and interface.

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.

MV-CH120-60VM
Trade-off — needs agreement
The model meets the preliminary matching criteria for the specifications we could check; the differences are listed below.
Trade-offs to settle before you choose:
  • The lens mount differs: check the fit and the flange distance of your current lens.
  • Frame rate: the stated 60.2 fps at 4096 × 3000 and 8 bit needs 5.92 Gbit/s. The 5 Gbit/s link allows at most 50.86 fps before overhead. Check the operating mode.
The sensor part number is not confirmed in this comparison: we compare by resolution, pixel size, frame or line rate and interface.
