CCD loaded on XCL-
5000
The 500 million-pixel CCD loaded on XCL-5000 has
two signal outputs-left and right two channels output
system CCD-in order to improve the frame rate. There is
a boundary of two picking up areas in the center of the
window. The left and right signals of the boundary are
conflated into a picture by digital signal process.
Each area of the two channels output system CCD has its
output. Even so, the boundary does not appear in the
center of the window when the left and right signals are
conflated into a picture if the output characteristic
accord with each other. It is, however, very difficult for
the CCD producing technique to make two amplifier
characteristics accord completely, and the output levels
of left and right may differ. In this case, a boundary
appears in the center of the window due to the difference
of the left and right levels. XCL-5000 has an automatic
correction function that automatically detects and
corrects the difference between the levels in order to
make it indistinguishable. The automatic correction
function is set to on in the factory setting. Otherwise you
can cancel the automatic correction function and set the
correction of left and right levels manually.
A step or a boundary may be seen in the center of the
window according to the camera setting mode. This is
not a malfunction. The boundary is especially easily
seen in the Gainup.
