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.

Overview

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.
Low Power Consumption
