Overview; Features - Sony XCI-SX100C Technical Manual

Overview

This camera (XCI-SX100/SX100C/V100/V100C) is a
black and white (XCI-SX100/V100) or color (XCI-
SX100C/V100C) intelligent camera that can capture
and process images, and control peripheral devices by
itself.

Features

High image quality
Equipped with 1/3-type progressive scan CCDs, the
XCI-SX100/SX100C can produce outstanding picture
quality and high-resolution SXGA images (1,250,000
pixels) and the XCI-V100/V100C can capture clear
images in VGA resolution (330,000 pixels).
High-performance x86-compatible
processor
• VIA Eden ULV processor with 1 GHz internal clock
speed.
MMX-, SSE-, SSE2-, and SSE3-compatible. Low
power consumption.
• 512 MB DDR2 SDRAM
PC standard input/output interface
• LAN connector
• VGA-compatible monitor (Analog RGB) output
connector
• Hi-speed USB (USB 2.0) connector
Electronic shutter function
Shutter speed can be selected from among a variety of
available speeds.
External trigger shutter function
(2 to 1/50,000 sec.)
You can obtain a freeze frame by inputting an external
trigger signal. This function is useful for shooting a fast-
moving object clearly.
Partial scan
The camera module can limit the effective video output
area to achieve high frame rates, enabling high-speed
image processing.
Binning (XCI-SX100/V100 only)
Through vertical binning (combining two vertically
adjacent pixels), you can decrease the data volume for
sensor output images while retaining the entire angle of
view, thereby increasing the image processing speed.
Through horizontal binning (combining two
horizontally adjacent pixels), you can obtain video
outputs with higher sensitivity.
Excellent Picture Quality
XCI-SX100C/V100C has a color interpolation
algorithm that produces highly detailed images.
Auto iris
With the lens-control signal output from the 6-pin auto
iris port, the camera module can control a connected DC
iris lens. If you remove the C mount adaptor, the camera
module can support a CS mount DC iris lens.
Body fixing
Four screw holes to be used to install the camera are
provided both on the top and the bottom of the camera.
Installing the camera module on the front panel
minimizes deviation of the optical axis.
Tripod
You can mount the camera on a tripod by tightening the
tripod screws.
