Quick Overview
Ximea MQ013MG-ON-S7 — 1.3MP monochrome USB3 industrial camera with onsemi PYTHON1300 CMOS global shutter sensor, 1280 × 1024 resolution, 4.8 µm pixels, 210 FPS, 57.4 dB dynamic range, compact 26.4 × 26.4 × 32.9 mm housing, C-mount lens, hardware/software triggering, ROI/AOI, onboard image processing, and passive cooling — ideal for high-speed machine vision, VR/AR, robotics, 3D scanning, UAV mapping, and embedded inspection systems.

The Ximea MQ013MG-ON-S7 is an ultra-compact USB3 industrial camera equipped with the onsemi PYTHON1300 1/2” CMOS global shutter sensor. Delivering crisp monochrome imaging at 1.3 Megapixels (1280 x 1024) and a blazing-fast frame rate of 210 FPS, this camera excels in applications that demand high-speed precision. The sensor features 4.8 µm pixel size, a 7.9 mm diagonal, and a peak quantum efficiency of 54% at 550nm, offering excellent low-light sensitivity across a 350–1050 nm spectral range. Its 10-bit output with onboard ROI, binning, decimation, and hot pixel correction ensures high-quality images with reduced noise and accurate shading.

Built for 24/7 operation, the MQ013MG-ON-S7 includes USB 3.1 Gen1 Micro-B interface with screw-lock threads, a standard C-mount lens holder, and opto-isolated GPIO for hardware/software triggering. The camera is powered via USB (1.58 W), and provides fast ROI control, auto-exposure, and HDR support. With a compact 26.4 x 26.4 x 32.9 mm footprint, single-board construction, 256 KB buffer memory, and full GenICam and USB3 Vision compliance, this unit is ideal for embedded vision, high-speed inspection, VR/AR, 3D scanning, robotics, and more.
