Compact 1.3 MP color GigE positioning
Color frames at 1280 × 1024 and 90 fps define the concise configuration of MV-CU013-A1GC. Its 1/2-inch CMOS sensor has 4.8 µm pixels, Bayer GB 8 output and a global shutter. Gigabit Ethernet is the primary image interface and is also compatible with Fast Ethernet. The C-mount body measures 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm.
The resolution and simultaneous exposure suit color-based presence, orientation and assembly-state checks on moving items. A 1/2-inch lens image circle is needed to cover the sensor, while the 4.8 µm pitch sets the sampling scale used when choosing magnification. The Ethernet interface places the camera in networked acquisition layouts where the full-frame 90 fps requirement is accounted for.
MV-CU013-A0GC offers nearly the same color GigE geometry at 91.3 fps and additionally lists a 10 µs–10 sec exposure interval, optional PoE and machine I/O. MV-CU013-A1UC retains the A1 color format but moves to USB 3.0 and 210 fps in a 30 mm-deep housing. MV-CU013-80GC uses a smaller 1/2.7-inch sensor at 89.9 fps. Choose A1GC for the stated A1 color GigE configuration.

Selection and applications
Color presence inspection. Moving-item orientation checks. Networked 1.3 MP acquisition.
Minimum kit: The minimum imaging path is the camera, a C-mount lens covering its 1/2-inch sensor, and a Gigabit Ethernet cable for the stated interface.
Nearby in the range: MV-CU013-A0GC — Prefer it for color GigE at 91.3 fps with a listed 10 µs–10 sec exposure range and optional PoE; MV-CU013-A1UC — Prefer it for the same resolution and color format at 210 fps over USB 3.0; MV-CU013-80GC — Prefer it when a smaller 1/2.7-inch sensor and 89.9 fps suit the optical design.

FAQ
What full-frame output does MV-CU013-A1GC provide over Ethernet?
The camera sends 1280 × 1024 Bayer GB 8 color frames at up to 90 fps. Its interface is Gigabit Ethernet with Fast Ethernet support, so the network layout should be selected around the required image rate and color payload.
How does the A1GC shutter type affect imaging of moving items?
The 1/2-inch CMOS sensor uses a global shutter, exposing the frame with common timing rather than a rolling line sequence. That makes the 90 fps output applicable to color orientation and presence checks on moving items.
What optical interface and pixel geometry must the lens serve?
MV-CU013-A1GC has a C-mount and a 1/2-inch sensor. Its pixel pitch is 4.8 µm × 4.8 µm across the 1280 × 1024 grid, so lens coverage and magnification should be set from that physical and sampling geometry.
How much space does the MV-CU013-A1GC camera body occupy?
The enclosure measures 29 mm × 29 mm × 42 mm. That square cross-section and stated depth define the camera-side mechanical envelope; the selected C-mount lens and Ethernet connector add to the assembled installation length.
When is A1GC preferable to the faster A1UC interface variant?
Use A1GC when Gigabit Ethernet is the required interface and 90 fps at 1280 × 1024 is sufficient. A1UC retains color, global shutter and the 1/2-inch sensor but reaches 210 fps through USB 3.0.
