The Orion version of the QHY-5, only comes in Mono.
You can use the QHY-5 and ALL generic brands as planetary cameras, except the Orion, has only drivers for Maxim, and Maxim Doesnt do streaming frames.
The rest have more drivers as they are licensed to use them. The drivers and software allow it to stream the video and do multiple frames per second, as well as many other functions. Also you can get the color version, as Orion dont have the color version.
Finally, you cant use the drivers from the QHY-5 or generic cameras to run your Orion, as the firmware is different.
Theo.
