HIKROBOT MV-CA013-20GC — Area Scan Cameras
1.3 MP, PYTHON1300, GigE, Color, 90 fps
The MV-CA013-20GC is the color GigE variant of the PYTHON1300 sensor, matching its mono sibling’s speed class at 90 fps and 1280×1024. It supports formats such as RGB8 and YUV422 through a Bayer RG color pattern, with exposure time starting at 62 μs rather than the mono version’s 38 μs due to color processing. SNR (39.8 dB) and dynamic range (59.6 dB) are unchanged; the model falls under Delisting Preparation.
The Bayer RG color pattern and multi-format pixel support let color images be processed directly in the MVS client or third-party software. 12 VDC/PoE power support and the same 6-pin Hirose I/O set (one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output, one bi-directional line) are retained, along with hardware/software triggering and up to 128 MB of local memory. GigE Vision V2.0 and GenICam compliance provide broad software integration.

Where it is used
Combining high resolution with color imaging suits applications needing detailed color inspection, such as print/label checks and verifying colored markings on electronic boards. A 90 fps rate lets these detailed color checks run in real time on moderate-speed lines. It can be chosen for sorting tasks where color and shape must be assessed together.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
