3. Product Outline

VCC-G20E30 is a high-resolution industrial B/W analog camera module utilizing a 1/3 Type TV format

CCD. 380K pixels CCD image sensor with on-chip micro-lenses realizes high sensitivity and high resolution.

Key Features

□

Normal Speed & Double Speed Operation

The camera can be operated at both normal speed and double speed.

(Initial setting: Norma speed, Speed selection with switch at camera rear)

□

Sync. System

External HD, VD, and trigger input are valid.

(HD/VD External sync can be recognized automatically.)

Add internal jumper resister for HD/VD input 75Ω terminal.

□

Long Exposure (Restart-Reset function)

Long exposure (Restart-Reset) operation is valid with random VD input (more than 2VD) and HD input.

□

External Trigger Shutter operation

Exposure time (electronic shutter value) can be set either by trigger pulse width or by fixed switch at camera rear.

For both shutter settings, reset mode and non-reset mode are available.

At reset mode, internal VD is reset right after completion of exposure, so that the images are output immediately. On the other hand, at non-reset mode, it waits external VD input after completion of exposure so that the images can be output at any timing.

□

AGC

= 0.45 can be set by camera internal jumper resistance.

□

29mm Cubic in size

Its small size, 29mm cubic, and light weight, 44g, makes it a best match for use in

embedded systems for image calibration and microscopic applications.

Normal mode

EIA Compliance. 2:1 Interlace (Field/Frame) successive video out signals, without trigger input, is the normal mode setting. Normal shutter operation and HD/VD external sync input function is valid using rear fixed switch. Field storage setting is recommended to get double sensitivity compared to frame storage setting.

Long time exposure operation, Restart-reset mode

In this mode, one picture image is read-out inputting EXT VD over 1VD:262.5H at any timing and adding EXT HD externally. This mode is effective when sensitivity is insufficient with normal exposure time, and/or when movement locus of shooting object shall be indicated. Since exposure time depends on the input frequency of EXT VD, shutter settings with rear switch will be invalid.

External trigger shutter operation by switch settings (Reset mode, Non-reset mode)

This is the trigger operation in which exposure time (shutter value) can be set by rear fixed switch.

WEN signals will be “Level H” in image effective field period.

- Reset mode

EXT HD can be input but external VD must not be input.

As soon as internal SYNC VD is reset after exposure completion, read-out starts, therefore, video signals are output at the shortest timing. To avoid 1HD fluctuation caused by 1HD jitter between trigger input and exposure starting point, add EXT HD input.

- Non-reset mode

Falling edge of EXT VD and EXT HD signal phase must be matched.

Signal read-out starts after waiting for EXT VD input, therefore, video signals are output at any timing.

However, trigger input cycle will be longer than the one of reset mode.

VCC-G20E30 Rev.900-536-31-00

External Trigger Operation by pulse width settings (Reset mode, Non-reset mode)

This is the trigger operation to set exposure time (shutter value) by trigger input pulse width.

Trigger pulse width shall be 100us ～ 250ms or more than 1HD ～ 250ms.

Shutter can be controlled by 1HD.

Approx. exposure time

At Normal Speed: Exposure Time = trigger pulse width (nHD) + 33.5us (HD = 63.56 us)

At Double Speed:

- Reset mode

Exposure Time = trigger pulse width (nHD) + 16.7us (HD = 31.78 us)

When trigger pulse is less than 1HD, ignore its time.

EXT HD can be input but external VD must not be input.

- Non-reset mode

Falling edge of EXT VD and EXT HD signal phase must be matched.

Signal read-out starts after waiting for EXT VD input, therefore, video signals are output at any timing.

However, trigger input cycle will be longer than the one of reset mode.
