HIKROBOT MV-CB013-A0UC-S — Area Scan Cameras
1.3 MP, USB3.0, Color, 201 fps, M12-Mount

Like its C-mount counterpart, the MV-CB013-A0UC-S pairs the CB013 platform’s 1280×1024/201 fps global-shutter sensor with a Bayer color filter (Bayer GB, RGB 8, BGR 8, YUV422 outputs), at the same typical 2.8 W draw at 5 VDC. The difference is the lens interface: this board takes an M12 mount rather than C-mount, while keeping the same bare-board construction — no housing, mounting holes exposed on the PCB, board dimensions and weight matching the C-mount color model.
USB3.0 supplies both power and data, and two bidirectional non-isolated I/O lines are available for trigger/output. The M12 lens interface gives integrators a smaller-footprint color option than the C-mount version when board space or lens length is constrained. It follows the same USB3 Vision/GenICam compliance as the rest of the family, and the image-interpolation feature aimed at color sensors carries over.

Where it is used
The M12 color combination suits compact, space-limited setups that still need color discrimination — color sorting or print/label verification inside small OEM devices, mobile platforms or multi-camera arrays where a C-mount lens would not fit but color information is still required.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
