Overview

Overview

The XC-HR70 is a black-and-white video camera module using a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor.

Electronic shutter

You can choose from FL (flickerless) mode and a wide range of image speeds (1/125 to 1/20,000 s) for the best match to shooting conditions.

Features

High image quality

The 800,000-pixel XGA-compatible CCD image sensor delivers detailed images with the equivalent of

XGA resolution (1024

× 768 pixels). The CCD has square pixels, eliminating the need for aspect ratio conversion.

External trigger shutter function (1/4 to

1/100,000 s)

You can obtain a freeze picture by inputting an external trigger. This function is useful for shooting a fast-moving object at a precise moment.

Various mode settings

Rear panel switches allow the following mode settings.

• Gain: Fixed/Manual

• Read mode: Normal (29.2 fps)/Binning (58.4 fps)

• High-rate scan

• Synchronized input/output

• 75

Ω termination

• Shutter modes: Normal/Trigger shutter

• Shutter speed

External synchronization

The camera module automatically detects HD

(horizontal drive) and VD (vertical drive) signals input for external synchronization.

High-rate scan

By limiting the number of effective image output lines, you can obtain image output at high frame rates, suitable for high-speed image processing.

Binning function

Video signals combining vertically adjacent pixels can be obtained at 58.4 fps.

Mounting holes

Mounting screw holes are provided on the reference plane on the lower surface of the body, allowing mounting for minimum deviation in the optical axis.

External sync signal output

You can output HD and VD signals from a 12-pin connector by changing the setting of a rear panel switch.

Compliant with new EIAJ 12-pin connector pin assignments

The new pin arrangement adds pin assignments for trigger pulses and WEN signals.

1

VIDEO OUT/DC IN/SYNC (video output/DC power/sync input signal)connector (12-pin connector)

Connect a CCXC-12P05N camera cable to this connector to obtain power from the +12V DC power supply and also to enable video signal output from the camera module. When a sync signal generator is connected to this connector, the camera module is synchronized with the external sync signals (HD/VD signals).

Shutter speed/Mode setting DIP switch

1

Shutter speed (bits 1-4)

Set an appropriate shutter speed (factory setting:

OFF).

2

High-rate scan mode switch (bit 5)

The factory setting of this switch is high-rate scan OFF. If you turn this switch ON to use high-rate scan mode, you also need to make the external VD pulse rate and width settings.

For more information, see “To Use High-rate Scan

Mode (A) (page 14)” or “To Use High-rate Scan

Mode (B)” (page 18).

3

Restart reset/External trigger shutter mode switch (bits 6 to 8)

By inputting an external restart/reset signal, you can capture the information of single screens at arbitrary timing. By inputting an external trigger signal, you can capture imaging information on fast-moving objects at a precise moment in time. The factory settings for these switches are for normal operation (restart/reset and external trigger shutter OFF).

For more information, see “Restart/Reset” (page 13) and “External Trigger Shutter” (page 16).

4

Gain switch (bit 9)

This switch selects FIX (fixed) or MANUAL

(manual adjustment) (factory setting: FIX (left side)).

5

Binning mode switch (bit 0)

Switches the video signal output mode between binning OFF and binning ON (factory setting:

OFF).

For more information, see “Video Output Modes”

(page 10).

3

HD/VD signal input/output switch

Set the switch to INT to output HD/VD signals from the camera module.

Set the switch to EXT to input HD/VD signals from an external unit (factory setting: EXT).

Note

Even when the switch is set to EXT, the camera module operates in internal synchronization mode when no external HD signal is input. In this case, however, the camera module will not output internal sync signals.

M Gain (Manual Gain) control knob

If you have selected MANUAL (manual adjustment) with DIP switch 4, this knob adjusts the gain.

Make sure that the external HD and VD phases against the standard center phase are as shown in the figure.

External VD rising edge: Input within 5 Clk before or 100 Clk after the standard center phase.

(The rising edge is used only in high-rate scan mode.)

Note that input outside the specified ranges can lead to internal reset instability and high-rate interval instability.

However, when you input an external HD/VD phase signal in all modes, the video out signals are output about 1 H later than the external VD.

During normal operation: HD phase 43.05 µs, VD phase 34.27 ms/17.13 ms (binning ON/OFF) continuous.

Phase timing is as shown above (falling edge only applied).

During restart/reset or external trigger shutter

Restart/Reset

To Set Restart/Reset Mode

The information on one screen can be extracted at any time by externally inputting restart/reset signals

(HD/VD). To enter this mode, set the trigger shutter switches (6 to 8) on the rear panel of the camera as shown in the figure below.

To use restart/reset mode and high-rate scan mode simultaneously, set the high-rate scan mode switch

(5) to ON (right side).

DIP switches

Rear panel

Long exposure

The Restart/Reset function extends the CCD accumulation time, resulting in highly sensitive image capture. This function is effective when you cannot gain satisfactory sensitivity under normal operating conditions, or when you want to observe the trail of a moving object. Extend the VD interval

(T) between external VD pulses.

Note

High-rate scan mode cannot be used while in external trigger shutter mode 2.

There are two modes for the timing in which video signals are obtained.

• Mode 1 (Non-reset mode)

In this mode, a video signal synchronized with a VD signal is output after a trigger pulse is input.

– The video signal is synchronized with the external

VD signal when an external HD*/VD signal is input.

– The video signal is synchronized with an internal

VD signal when no external HD*/VD signal is input.

* External or internal synchronization is selected automatically depending on the presence or absence of external HD input.

• Mode 2 (Reset mode)

In this mode, an internal VD is reset, then a video signal is output a certain period of time after trigger pulse input.

Mode Settings

To Use High-rate Scan Mode (B)

In external trigger shutter mode 1, you can increase the frame rate by setting the shutter speed to the trigger pulse width, and setting the high-rate scan mode switch on the rear panel, the trigger interval, the external VD phase and the external VD width.

The image is centered as shown below.

The image output is terminated by inputting of the trigger falling edge.

Note that input of a trigger pulse is needed in the effective image interval to control the ending of image output, and this affects the image synchronization with the timing of the trigger rising edge.

• The shaded parts of the tables are items that you set or input yourself.

• The table is an example in external trigger shutter mode 1 where the trigger pulse width is 100 µs, and the time from the trigger rising edge to external VD falling edge is about 1 H (43.05 µs). In this case, about 2 lines at the end of the effective image segment are affected by trigger input.

• The number of effective lines with high-rate scan set to ON is determined by the formula shown below.

X = T – Tb – 2 where Tw: External VD width [line]

Tb: BLKG interval [line]

*3 Normal operation is resumed when the trigger pulse width is 1/3 s or more. The trigger falling edge restores external trigger shutter operation. At this time, the 50 ms after the falling edge of the trigger pulse is an external trigger input inhibition area. There is no guarantee of operation for any trigger input in this period.

*4 If there is a falling edge on the external VD within a period of +10

µs from the falling trigger edge (1 and 2 in the figure), it is not defined whether the image is output for the external VD falling edge or the image is output for the next external VD falling edge. (1 in the figure shows that the image is output for the next external VD. 2 shows the image for the external VD.) In this case, see WEN since output of the image and WEN make up a pair. In any other case, the image is output for the external VD falling edge after the trigger falling edge (3 in the figure).

*5 With the XC-HR70, a signal synchronized with

VD cycle is not output.

Note

An image is not output correctly when the next trigger is input before the image for the previous trigger has been output.

µs, it is not defined whether the image is output for the internal VD falling edge or the image is output for the next internal VD falling edge. (3 in the figure shows that the image is output for the next internal
