Overview
Overview
Ideal for high speed image processing, the XC-HR300
is a small black and white camera featuring a 1/2 type
progressive scan CCD. The XC-HR300 can capture
excellent quality images at high speeds. By doubling
the drive frequency of CCD, full frame SVGA images
can be obtained at 50 frames/s on 1 output (progressive
1N MODE) or 100 frames/s on 2 outputs (Interlaced 2I
MODE). Further speed increase up to four times can
be achieved by reducing the number of transmitted
lines (Partial images). In addition, excellent vibration
and shock characteristics make the camera also
suitable for Machine vision application.
Main Features
High image quality
The interline transfer CCD provides a high-resolution
image with 782
× 582 pixels.
Various mode settings
Rear panel switches allow the following mode settings.
• Gain: Fixed/Manual
• Synchronized input/output
• Read mode: 2I mode: 1/100 sec. (interlace) or 1N
mode: 1/50 sec. (non-interlace)
• 75
Ω termination
• Shutter speed: Adjustable Partial scanning/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 (1/4 to
1/25000 sec.)
You can obtain a freeze picture by inputting an
external trigger. This function is useful for shooting a
fast-moving object clearly.
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.
Partial scanning function
Reading frequency in the vertical direction has been
improved. The unit can capture partial images at up to
400 frames/sec in 2I mode or up to 200 frames/sec in
1N mode.
