Overview Overview The XC-ES50L/ES50LCE is a monochrome video Restart/Reset function camera module with a 1/2 type CCD for industrial use. Inputting external HD and VD signals (2 VD or more) Like the XC-ES50/ES50CE, this model provides continuously can catch one image at an arbitrary point various mode switches on the rear panel, making in time and control the stored CCD.

Avoid lighting the scene during the light-emitting inhibit zone defined below. (The field is transferred to the storage area of the CCD, so it can be read out.) Note For best performance, it is recommended that you do not flash between VD and VD + 10 H (XC-ES50L)/16 H (XC-ES50LCE).
