Digital Video Raw Color Cameras
Sony proudly introduces two new raw color GigE cameras to
its popular XCG Series: the high-quality, high-performance
XCG-5005CR and XCG-U100CR.
These cameras incorporate the GigE Vision
®
interface, which is
specifically standardized for machine-vision applications based
on Gigabit Ethernet technology. In accordance with the
growing demand for large-scale systems, this interface enables
the cameras to transfer a large amount of data over long
distances. The use of an Ethernet cable and the availability of a
wide variety of peripheral devices contribute to significant
cost-cutting benefits when designing a complete vision system.
The new XCG cameras use a CCD with a color mask
(commonly called a “Bayer filter”) and output the “raw color”
pixel values in 8, 10 or 12 bit to be converted to a color image
on a computer. The color conversion that takes place in the
computer is supported by Sony’s XCG-Software and a variety of
commercially available third-party software programs.
In addition, the XCG-5005CR and the XCG-U100CR cameras
offer unique benefits that are inherited from the Sony’s XCD
Series such as Bulk Trigger mode and Sequential Trigger mode.
By utilizing the features and benefits of the GigE Vision interface,
the XCG-5005CR and the XCG-U100CR cameras expand the
possibilities for intelligent traffic, factory automation, food and
beverage inspection, and pharmaceutical applications.

GigE Vision Interface
The adoption of the GigE Vision interface (Ver. 1.2) adds to the
outstanding value and performance of the XCG-5005CR and the
XCG-U100CR cameras. Answering the growing demand for large-scale
systems, they can transfer large amounts of data over long distances
(up to 100 meters). In addition, the overall cost of a vision system can be
reduced with these cameras thanks to the availability of a variety of
peripheral devices.
High Frame Rate Image Transfer
The XCG-5005CR and the XCG-U100CR cameras feature a high readout
rate of uncompressed images for smooth and clear results.
The XCG-5005CR achieves 15fps and the XCG-U100CR achieves 27fps.
Bulk Trigger Mode/Sequential Trigger Mode
In addition to its conventional trigger mode, the XCG-5005CR and the
XCG-U100CR cameras also feature advanced “Bulk Trigger” and
“Sequential Trigger” modes. Both cameras support 16 memory channels
that can store up to 16 different camera setups (exposure, gain, LUT).
“Bulk Trigger” mode allows the XCG cameras to capture up to 16 images
in rapid succession using a single software or hardware trigger.
“Sequential Trigger” mode allows the camera to capture a single image
using successive setups stored in the memory channels with each
software or hardware trigger.
Low Power Consumption and Compact Design
These compact, lightweight cameras feature low power consumption, and
the ability to operate at temperatures up to 122°F / 50°C
High Resistance to Shock and Vibration
Due to their robustness and vibration resistance, the XCG cameras deliver
outstanding performance in the most challenging environmental
conditions.
