MV-CT0CU0120/G
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:
  • Connector: Type-C instead of USB3 Micro-B — the system has to be checked.
The sensor part number is not confirmed in this comparison: we compare by resolution, pixel size, frame or line rate and interface.

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 30 fps (-6.67 %).
  • 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.
