Quick Overview
Ximea MQ013CG-E2-S7 — 1.3MP color USB3 industrial camera featuring e2v EV76C560 CMOS global shutter sensor, 1280 × 1024 resolution, 5.3 µm pixels, 61 FPS, 51.6 dB dynamic range, compact 26.4 × 26.4 × 32.8 mm housing, C-mount lens, and hardware/software triggering — ideal for embedded vision, OEM, UAV, VR/AR, and industrial automation.

The Ximea MQ013CG-E2-S7 is a compact, high-performance USB3 industrial camera built around the 1.3 Megapixel e2v EV76C560 CMOS global shutter sensor, offering a resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels with 5.3 µm pixel size. This sensor operates with a global shutter for accurate motion capture and delivers smooth imaging performance at 61 frames per second. The sensor’s 1/1.8" optical format, 6.8 x 5.4 mm active area, and 8.7 mm diagonal provide an optimized field of view and excellent image uniformity. The camera achieves a dynamic range of 51.6 dB, readout noise of 27.7 e-, and a full well capacity of 12,000 e-, making it suitable for scientific, industrial, and embedded vision applications.

Engineered with SuperSpeed USB 3.1 Gen1 (5 Gbps) interface and housed in a compact 26 x 26 x 32.8 mm aluminum enclosure, this unit supports 1x1 and 2x2 downsampling, C-mount lens, and USB bus power operation with power consumption under 1W. The camera’s built-in features include hardware/software triggering, ROI/AOI support, exposure control (100 µs to 1 s), on-camera hot pixel correction, and onboard memory for stable image transfer. Integration is seamless via Ximea’s unified SDK for C++, C#, Python, and compatibility with Windows, Linux, and macOS. Designed for 24/7 operation with high reliability, the MQ013CG-E2-S7 is ideal for machine vision, VR/AR, UAV mapping, medical imaging, and other OEM applications demanding size and performance efficiency.
