A1 color capture at 210 fps
A 210 fps ceiling makes MV-CU013-A1UC the faster A1 interface variant at 1280 × 1024. The 1/2-inch CMOS sensor combines a global shutter, 4.8 µm pixels and Bayer GB 8 color output. Images travel through USB 3.0, with operation on the earlier USB interface also listed. The camera retains a C-mount in a 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm body.
Rapid color-state, position and orientation checks are supported by the global shutter and high frame rate. The compact 30 mm depth suits restricted camera space, subject to the added lens and connector envelope. A C-mount lens must cover the 1/2-inch sensor and form the required object-area coverage over 1280 × 1024; the USB link connects the imaging path to the host.
MV-CU013-A1GC changes the interface to Gigabit Ethernet and records 90 fps in a 42 mm-deep body. MV-CU013-A0UC supplies color USB capture at 201.4 fps and documents a 5 µs–10 sec exposure range plus USB power. MV-CU013-80UC is faster at 240.4 fps but uses a smaller 1/2.7-inch SS sensor with 4.0 µm pixels. A1UC fits the point where A1 color, USB 3.0 and 210 fps are required together.

Selection and applications
High-rate color-state checks. Global-shutter position inspection. Compact USB area capture.
Minimum kit: The stated imaging path requires the camera, a C-mount lens covering the 1/2-inch sensor, and a USB 3.0 cable to the acquisition host.
Nearby in the range: MV-CU013-A1GC — Choose it when Gigabit Ethernet is needed and 90 fps is sufficient.; MV-CU013-A0UC — Choose it for a documented 5 µs exposure floor and USB power at 201.4 fps.; MV-CU013-80UC — Choose it for 240.4 fps with a smaller 1/2.7-inch SS sensor..

FAQ
What distinguishes the MV-CU013-A1UC image stream at full frame?
It produces 1280 × 1024 Bayer GB 8 color data at up to 210 fps. The 1/2-inch CMOS sensor has a global shutter, combining high update rate with common exposure timing across the moving image.
Can A1UC operate on the earlier USB connection as well as USB 3.0?
The data connection is USB 3.0 with support for the earlier USB interface. USB 3.0 is the stated primary path for the 210 fps camera; any link choice must be evaluated against the required 1280 × 1024 color throughput.
Which lens format matches the MV-CU013-A1UC sensor area?
A C-mount lens covering a 1/2-inch sensor is required. The active image is 1280 × 1024 with a 4.8 µm × 4.8 µm pitch, which supplies the basis for calculating object sampling, scene coverage and magnification.
What is the physical envelope of this high-rate USB camera?
The camera housing is 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm before the lens and cable are added. This is 12 mm shallower than the 42 mm A1GC body, while both variants use a C-mount and 1/2-inch sensor.
How does A1UC compare with the documented A0UC variant?
A1UC reaches 210 fps, while A0UC reaches 201.4 fps at the same 1280 × 1024 color output and 1/2-inch format. A0UC additionally lists a 5 µs–10 sec exposure range, 9–24 V DC input and USB power support.
