CAUTIONS ON USE
Carefully handle the units.
Do not drop, or give a strong shock or vibration to the camera. This may cause problems. Treat the
camera cables carefully to prevent cable problems, such as cable breakdown and loosened connections.
Operating ambient temperature and humidity.
Do not use the camera in places where temperature and humidity exceed the specifications. Picture
quality will lower and internal parts may be damaged.
Be particularly careful when using in places exposed to direct sunlight. When shooting in hot places,
depending on the conditions of the object and the camera (for example when the gain is increased), noise
in the form of vertical strips or white dots may occur. This is not a malfunction.
Restriction for the lens combination
This camera might form a ghost to image area depending on the combination of a lens and an
illumination with this camera. But this is not a failure of this camera. Therefore, please check the
combination of the lens and the illumination with this camera when use.
When mounting a lens, take extra caution so that the lens is not tilted, nor does flaw exist at the
lens-mount-screw part. Also check to confirm that no dirt nor other foreign object is put inside
Improper mounting might cause the parts to become locked.
Do not shoot under intense light.
Avoid intense light such as spot light on part of the screen because it may cause blooming or smears. If
intense light falls on the screen, vertical stripes may appear on the screen, but this is not a malfunction.
Do not expose the camera’s image-pickup-plane to sunlight or other intense light directly.
Its inner CCD (charge-coupled device) might be damaged.
Moire
When thin stripe patterns are shot, stripe patterns that are not actually there (moire) may appears as
interference stripes. This is not a malfunction.
Undesirable noise
If the camera or the cables are located near something which emit strong magnetism or near something
which emit strong electric wave, undesirable noise may appear on the screen. In such a case, try to
change the location of the camera or the cable wiring.
Handling of the protection cap
When the camera is not in use, put a lens-cap onto the camera head for protection of the
image-pickup-plane.
When not using the camera for a longtime.
Stop supplying power for safety.
When cleaning the camera
Always turn off the power and clean with a piece of soft dry cloth.
To remove stubborn stains, use a soft cloth soaked in diluted acid-free detergent. Do not use alcohol,
benzine, thinner, etc. If used, coating and printed letters may be discolored.
In case the image-pickup-plane should be settled with fine dust, dirt, or scratched, ask your dealer for
technical advice.
Wastes of this product should be separated and discarded in compliance with the various national and
local ordinances.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class A digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses,
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area
is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at
his own expense.
1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
CleverDragon series CSCV90BC3 is an integrated type B/W CCD camera with a VGA format
all-pixel-data readout CCD. This model has thrice greater driving frequency of conventional cameras to
achieve fast-speed data-processing. The model is suited for high-speed, high-resolution image processing
use. Its compact, light-weight body is ideal for system integration.
2. FEATURES
(1) Triple-speed reading
CSCV90BC3 reads image data 3 times faster than the conventional CCD camera.
(2) All-pixel reading
The all-pixel reading system allows the CSCV90BC3 to read all pixels in just 1/90 second.
CSCV90BC3 is equipped with a full-frame shutter that allows all-pixel reading even during shutter
operations.
(3) Full-frame shutter
Since all pixels are output even by a random trigger shutter operation, high resolution can be achieved,
without deteriorating the vertical resolution.
(4) Tetragonal lattice layout
The tetragonal lattice layout of CCD pixels facilitates computation for image processing.
(5) Camera Link interface (power supply type)
By using a Camera Link-capable frame grabber board to which power can be supplied, high-speed
transfer of captured images to a PC as well as various types of camera control from the PC are allowed.
Power can also be supplied to the camera with only one cable.
(6) Random trigger shutter function
CSCV90BC3 is equipped with a random trigger shutter, which starts exposure synchronized with
external trigger signals. Fast-moving objects can thus be captured in place, which ensures accurate
image processing.
(7) Restart-Reset
Images can be shot and fetched at arbitrary timing based on external VD signal input.
(8) Partial scan
Speed is further increased because areas other than the image output range specified by the user are not
read.
(9) Ultra-compact and lightweight main unit
The space-saving ultra-compact and lightweight camera has excellent resistance against vibration and
impact.
(10) Conformity to RoHS directive
CSCV90BC3 is manufactured in compliance with the European RoHS directive, which prohibits the
use of hazardous substances.

7. FUNCTIONS
By accessing the camera register published on the camera link I/F, you can control/set each function.
Since access to the camera register is performed via the frame grabber board, the controlling and setting
methods differ depending on the frame grabber board you use. For details, refer to the instruction manual of
the relevant frame grabber board or contact our sales representative.
This instruction manual describes the specifications in the case where the camera register is directly
connected by serial transmission over the camera link interface.
For details of the control and setting of functions, refer to “Interface Specification”. Please ask your
distributor or a sales representative about “Interface Specification”.
7-1. Explanation of Each Function
(1) Readout mode
Address: 0x90, Bit: 0, Value:0 to 1
Video is output from the camera link connector. The output video can be grabbed by the frame grabber
board. The frame rate and resolution of output images that this model supports are as follows:
All pixel read out
92.4 fps (MAX) / 648(H)
494(V)
Partial Scan
92.4 fps to 293.9fps (depend on Partial scan width)
Horizontal resolution: 648 (fixed)
Partial Scan Video Start Line: 0 to 374
Partial Scan Video Width: 120 to 494
(1-1) All pixel read out
Address: 0x90, Bit: 0, Value: 0
As all pixels are read out in approx. 1/92s, you will get images with the higher V resolution (you have to
change the shutter speed to 1/92s or shorter).
(1-2) Partial Scan
Address: 0x90, Bit: 0, Value: 1
Speed is further increased because areas other than the image output range specified by the user are not
read. Partial scan setting procedure is following:
Video start line
Address: 0xC4, Bit: 0 to 8, Value: 0 to 374
Video output width
Address: 0xC8, Bit: 0 to 8, Value: 120 to 494
Partial scan update
Address: 0xC0, Bit: 0, Value: 1
If you want maximum frame rate, you must shorten the shutter speed.
ex. 1) Video Start Line =120, Video Width = 240
ex. 2) Video Start Line=180,Video Width=120
