Overview
Overview
The XC-EU50/EU50CE is a monochrome video
camera module with a 1/2 type CCD for industrial use.
With its sensitivity around the near ultraviolet range
(around 360 nm), utilized the feature of the shorter
wavelength range characteristics and very detailed data
can be detected.
Small scratches, dust or blemishes hardly visible to the
naked eye can be captured as a clear image by
combining the camera with a light source that has a
wavelength of about 360 nm.
This model inherited compact size, rear panel mode
switches from the XC-E series and is ideal for use in
industrial applications.
Main Features
Various mode settings
Rear panel switches allow the following mode settings.
• Gain: Auto/Manual
•
γ
compensation
• Synchronized input/output
• Potential accumulation: FRAME/FIELD
• 75
Ω termination
• Shutter: Normal/Trigger shutter
External synchronization
The camera module automatically determines whether
to operate in interlace or non-interlace mode from the
HD (horizontal drive) and VD (vertical drive) signals
input for external synchronization.
Internal sync signal output
You can output the HD and VD signals from the 12-
pin connector by changing the setting of the rear panel
switch.
External trigger shutter function (EIA: 1/4
to 1/10,000 seconds, CCIR: 1/4 to 1/8,000
seconds)
You can obtain a freeze picture by inputting an
external trigger. This function is useful for shooting a
fast-moving object clearly.
Restart/Reset function
Inputting external HD and VD signals (2 VD or more)
continuously can catch one image at an arbitrary point
in time and control the stored CCD.
This function is used for long exposures and with
strobe for frame image output.
Body fixing
Mounting screw holes are provided in the reference
plane on the lower surface of the body, allowing
mounting with the absolute minimum deviation of the
optical axis.
The connector complies with the new EIAJ
12-pin pin assignment
The new pin arrangement allows the connector to
accept a trigger pulse and a WEN signal.
