Overview
This unit is a digital video camera module that outputs
digital images utilizing LVDS via the DIGITAL IF
connector.
Features
DIGITAL IF connector
Equipped with a Camera Link standard mini connector.
The unit can output a detailed and high speed digital
image.
High definition and high speed image
capture
The unit includes a 9,000,000-pixel or 6,000,000-pixel
high-resolution CCD, with high speed read out
depending on each model.
You can select 1ch, 2ch or 4ch sensor output. The frame
rate depends on the channel selected.
The XCL-S900 and XCL-S600 monochrome models
use an EXview HAD CCD II
TM
high sensitivity sensor,
usable even in the near-infrared region.
Various settings
Sending a command from the host device allows various
settings, including the following.
• Gain
• Shutter
• Partial scan
• Trigger control
• LUT (Look Up Table)
• Output: 8/10/12-bit or RGB 24-bit
• Defect correction
• Shading correction
Electronic shutter function
Set anywhere from 1/100,000 sec to 2 sec in 1 µs
increments.
External trigger shutter function
By synchronizing with an external trigger signal, any
shutter timing can be used.
Partial scan
The camera module can limit the number of video
output lines to achieve high frame rates, enabling high-
speed image processing.
Body fixing
The screw holes to install the camera module are located
under the front panel (the CCD reference plane).
Installing the camera module on the front panel
minimizes deviation of the optical axis.
LUT (Look Up Table)
You can switch to OFF or ON. When set to OFF, you can
select from five preset values, such as inversion,
binarization, any of five-point approximation, etc.
Switching an Output Bit Length
You can select 8-bit output, 10-bit output, or 12-bit
output.
For color models, you can also select an RGB 24-bit
output.
Binning (Monochrome camera only)
Sensitivity can be doubled by combining two pixels
aligned vertically, you can achieve a standard output
frame rate between 1.8x and 2x. Sensitivity can be
doubled by combining two pixels align horizontally.
You can set horizontal and vertical binning at the same
time.
Defect correction
The unit includes a function to reduce sensor defects,
and can be set to ON or OFF.
Shading correction
The unit includes a function to correct shading, resulting
from a light source or a particular lens, and can be set to
ON or OFF.
Note
The CCD is driven at high speed during a Partial scan or
Binning operation. In this situation, if intense light is
input to the camera, the peripheral areas of the video
image may be affected. In such a situation, adjust the
amount of light using the iris.
