Overview

Overview

The XCD-V50CR/V50 with its 1/3-type PS IT CCD is industrial-use digital video camera module. Utilizing an IEEE 1394b-2002 digital interface, transfer rates as high as 800 Mbps are realized. In addition, the use of digital signals enables industrial-use image processing without “image deterioration,” an important plus in the industrial world. Moreover, the use of a square pixel CCD eliminates the need for aspect ratio conversion during image processing.

Finally, a vibration resistance feature permits use of these units in all types of inspection and imaging devices.

What is the IEEE1394?

The IEEE1394 is the standard serial bus for sending and receiving digital data. It is prescribed as “IEEE* Std. 1394-1995.”

The most outstanding feature of this interface is that it realizes transfer speeds of up to 400 Mbps and can handle large image data size. The interface is also capable of “Isochronous transmission” which transmits data real-time, for up to 64 channels. Connectors can be inserted and disconnected while the unit is turned on, and no terminators and no ID settings such as those necessary for the SCSI interface are required.

What is IEEE 1394b?

IEEE 1394b-2002 is an interface extension based on the IEEE 1394a-2000 specifications.

The outstanding feature of this interface is that it enables transfer speeds of up to 3.2 Gbps, and long distance transfer.

Five types of cables (STP, UTP, POF, HPCF and, GOF) can be used. Maximum transfer speed and cable lengh are defined for each type of cable.

This interface has two modes, one is a mode only for use with 1394b and the other is a legacy mode which is compatible with the 1394a interface. This allows you to make compatible connections with a network based on the 1394a interface.

Main Features

The XCD-V50 video camera module utilizes a 1/3-type PS IT CCD
RAW mode output using the RGB Bayer pattern (XCD-V50CR only)
High-speed digital interface IEEE1394b- 2002
High frame rate

The XCD-V50CR/V50 adopts an VGA-compatible 330000 pixels CCD to operate at a high speed of 60 fps.

External trigger function

The external trigger shutter function allows the image exposure to be coordinated with external equipment and moving objects.

For exposure time, the unit is equipped with Trigger Mode 0, which indicates the length of the exposure using the shutter parameter, and Trigger Mode 1, which controls exposure time by the width of the trigger signal.

It is also able to utilize a software trigger initiated by a command from a program running on a host computer.

C-mount
High vibration-resistance structure
Black & white (Monochrome) 16-bit mode

A Black & white (Monochrome) 16-bit mode is available. The bits used are the least significant (lowest) 14 bits.

Daisy chained connection

The XCD-V50CR/V50 is equipped with two IEEE1394b connectors. This allows you to make up daisy chained connections.
