    XC-ST50/50CE XC-ST30/30CE OUTLINE The XC-ST50/50CE and XC-ST30/30CE are compact, lightweight, black-and-white camera modules of a new concept, which are produced as input devices for image processing by using the latest technology. These models inherit the basic functions of the XC-75 (installing a 1/2-inch CCD) and the XC-73 (installing a 1/3-inch CCD), which are used in various types of devices and systems and win popularity in the machine vision field.

    XC-ST50/50CE XC-ST30/30CE PHASE CONDITIONS OF EXTERNAL SYNCHRONIZATION External synchronization for each mode • For normal video/normal shutter Continuous HD/VD signal (should conform to EIA and CCIR frequencies in the timing shown in the figure below.) • For Restart Reset (RR)/external trigger shutter Continuous HD signal.

  • Page 9: Electronic Shutter

    XC-ST50/50CE XC-ST30/30CE ELECTRONIC SHUTTER Two types of electronic shutter are provided “normal shutter and external trigger shutter”. The electronic shutter speed and type can be set using the DIP switch on the rear panel. DIP switch on the rear panel Rear panel DIP switch Switches 1 to 4: Selects the shutter speed.

  • Page 10: External Trigger Shutter

    XC-ST50/50CE XC-ST30/30CE ELECTRONIC SHUTTER External trigger shutter By inputting an external trigger, a high-speed moving subject can be caught at an exact position. Set DIP switches 6, 7, and 8 on the rear panel to mode 1 or 2. (Refer to the table below.) When the trigger pulse width is 1/3 sec or more, the output signal is switched to a normal video signal.

  • Page 12: Restart Reset (R.r)

    XC-ST50/50CE XC-ST30/30CE RESTART RESET (R.R) The information on one screen can be extracted at any time by inputting a restart/reset signal (HD/VD) from the outside. To enter this mode, set DIP switches 6, 7, and 8 on the rear panel of a camera as shown in the table below. The setting is especially effective for the following operation.
