Ximea MQ013CG-ON-S7 1.3MP Color USB3 Industrial Camera with onsemi PYTHON1300 CMOS Global Shutter, 210 FPS, 26.4 x 26.4 x 32.9 mm
The Ximea MQ013CG-ON-S7 is a high-performance industrial camera equipped with a 1.3 Megapixel (1280 x 1024) color CMOS PYTHON1300 sensor from onsemi. It features a global shutter for distortion-free capture of fast-moving objects and delivers an impressive frame rate of up to 210 FPS at full resolution. With a 4.8 µm pixel size, 1/2" optical format, and a 7.9 mm diagonal, it delivers precise image quality across a broad spectral range of 350 – 1050 nm. The camera outputs 8, 10, or 12-bit RAW pixel data and supports downsampling and decimation (1x1, 2x2) for optimized imaging performance.
The MQ013CG-ON-S7 connects via USB 3.1 Gen1 and delivers data rates up to 5 Gbit/s through a Micro-B connector. It has onboard support for auto exposure, auto gain, HDR, de-Bayering, flat field correction, LUTs, ROI/AOI, and hot pixel correction. It draws just 1.58 W, is passively cooled, and operates in ambient temperatures from 0°C to 50°C. Compact at just 26.4 x 26.4 x 32.9 mm and weighing only 30 g, it’s designed for embedded systems, factory automation, machine vision, VR/AR, scientific imaging, and portable inspection tools.
