Fast color capture through USB 3.0
A 201.4 fps color stream at 1280 × 1024 places MV-CU013-A0UC among the fast USB cameras in the CU group. Its 1/2-inch CMOS sensor uses 4.8 µm pixels, Bayer GB 8 output and a global shutter. Exposure begins at 5 µs and extends to 10 sec, while the listed dynamic range is 53 dB and gain runs from 0 dB to 16 dB.
The camera suits fast color-state, orientation and presence decisions on moving parts. Simultaneous exposure controls geometric skew, and the 5 µs lower setting supports short exposures when the lighting permits. USB 3.0 supplies both the image link and a supported power path; a 6-pin P7 connection adds one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bidirectional non-isolated I/O.
MV-CU013-A0UM is the Mono 8 counterpart with the same 201.4 fps rate, sensor format and 1280 × 1024 grid. MV-CU013-A1UC raises color speed to 210 fps on the same 1/2-inch format. MV-CU013-80UC reaches 240.4 fps on a smaller 1/2.7-inch SS sensor with 4.0 µm pixels. Pick A0UC for color USB capture with the 1/2-inch, 4.8 µm optical geometry and 5 µs exposure floor.

FAQ
How does MV-CU013-A0UC combine color, speed and motion capture?
The camera records 1280 × 1024 Bayer GB 8 color at up to 201.4 fps. Its CMOS sensor uses a global shutter, and exposure can be reduced to 5 µs, giving the integrator both simultaneous frame timing and a short setting for moving targets.
Can the A0UC run from USB power without a separate supply?
USB 3.0 power is supported and typical consumption is 1.81 W at 5 V DC. A 9–24 V DC input is also listed, so the camera can use the host-side USB feed or the machine power connection according to the installation.
Which C-mount lens coverage matches the MV-CU013-A0UC?
The lens must cover the camera's 1/2-inch sensor. Its 4.8 µm pixels form a 1280 × 1024 image, and the mechanical interface is C-mount. Scene coverage, working distance and required object sampling determine the focal length.
What trigger and status I/O is available on the USB camera?
The 6-pin P7 connector provides one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bidirectional non-isolated I/O. The USB 3.0 link carries images, while these discrete lines provide hardware timing and machine-status exchange.
What mechanical and ambient limits apply to MV-CU013-A0UC?
The 76 g body measures 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm and is rated IP30 with correct lens installation and wiring. Its operating range is 0–50 °C at 20–95% RH without condensation, so added protection depends on the machine environment.
