Page 3: Overview
Overview The six models of the XCD-series digital camera modules (Black and white models and RAW color models) employing the IEEE1394b-2002 standard are equipped with quality digital camera features. Although it is compact, the camera allows high-speed image transfer and daisy chain connection with two IEEE1394b connectors. -
Page 4: System Components
Select an IEEE1394b interface board if you use the transfer speed of 800 Mbps. 5 VCT-ST70I tripod adaptor (Sony) Attach this adaptor to the bottom of the camera module to fix the camera module to a tripod. 6 DC-700/700CE camera adaptor (Sony) -

Page 7: Installation
Installation Fitting the lens Remove the lens mount cap. Screw in the lens (not supplied), and turn it until it is secured. Note Clean the optical filter with a commercially available blower brush to remove dust. Using a tripod To use the tripod, install the VCT-ST70I tripod adaptor (not supplied) on the camera module. -
Page 8: Functions
Functions Gain Both Manual and Auto Gain settings are available with this camera. The variable range extends from 0 to 24 dB for the black and white models or from 0 to 18 dB for the color models. The camera is designed so that the gain can be subdivided and set by 0.0359 dB. -
Page 9: Auto Exposure
Auto Exposure AutoExposure is a function that automatically adjusts the gain and shutter settings, based on the brightness of the subject. When the gain or shutter is set to Auto, the brightness is adjusted automatically to the value specified with AutoExposure. Gamma This camera uses the gamma function to select the lookup table. -
Page 10: Trigger
Trigger Trigger shutter is useful for capturing images in response to a trigger that starts the exposure to match a preset timing. It can also be used to capture an image using multiple cameras with the same timing. When a trigger shutter is used, the required trigger is input via the 12-pin connector on the rear panel. -
Page 11: Pan/Tilt
Pan/Tilt Pan/Tilt is a function used to move a camera up and down or left and right. However this camera supports a video mode much smaller than the CCD’s effective pixels by cutting out images from the whole screen. You can specify the portion to be cut out using Pan/Tilt commands. -
Page 12: Strobe Control
Strobe Control A strobe control signal is assigned in the 12-pin connector. This allows direct command of light- emission from the strobe connected to the camera and controls the light-emission timing and the signal width. The output terminal is of the open-collector type and should be pulled at the strobe side. -
Page 13: Memory Shot
Memory Shot The camera is equipped with Memory Shot that temporarily stores an image in the frame memory inside the camera and transfers it later. When multiple cameras are connected in the same bus, all the cameras may not output images at the same time due to the restriction of 800 Mbps band. -
Page 14: Partial Scan
Partial Scan The partial scan is a function for outputting part of a whole image as a region of interest on the whole image. Based on the unit cell as the unit, continuous parts can be selected. Only rectangles can be selected. The screen cannot be cut in convex and L shapes. -
Page 15: Binning Mode
Binning Mode The mode used when the sensitivity is increased and the frame rate is multiplied based on mixing the CCD pixel data, is called the Binning mode. There are two types of binning: 1 × 2 binning when the output image is compressed in the vertical direction only, and 2 ×... -
Page 16: Control
Control Camera Command Status Register This camera complies with IIDC 1394-based Digital Camera Specification, Version 1.31 (hereinafter referred to as IIDC v1.31). The standards document can be purchased from 1394TA (the 1394 Trade Association). As it is very helpful in understanding the explanations in this Technical Manual, we recommend that you purchase a copy of IIDC v1.31. -

Page 19: Control Base Address
Control Base Address Every register address is decided based on the base address found in the CommandRegsBase field of ConfigrationROM. F0F00000h is the control base address on this camera. Inquiring about Supported Video Modes First, we will find out what video formats are supported. Data Address XCD-V60/... -
Page 20: Video Mode Settings (S800)
Video Mode Settings (S800) Select the video mode you want to use from the tables, and make the required settings. As examples, the register settings for Format0, Mode5, and a frame rate of 60 fps for the XCD-V60; Format2, Mode2, and a frame rate of 30 fps for the XCD-SX90, and Format2, Mode5, and a frame rate of 15 fps for the XCD-U100 are shown. -
Page 21: Control Of Iidc Standard Features
Control of IIDC Standard Features Before transmitting the control command, check the variable ranges of settings and if there is an automatic mode for each feature. As the variable ranges of the settings vary with video modes for the Pan and Tilt features, be sure to check them if the video mode is changed. - Page 22 Address F0F0051Ch CB00347Eh (Shutter) F0F00520h 8B000***h (Gain) F0F00530h 8C81C003h (Trigger) F0F00534h 89000FFFh (TriggerDelay) F0F00584h 89******h (Pan) F0F00588h 89******h (Tilt) F0F0058Ch 89000***h (OpticalFilter) * According to the IEEE 1394 specifications, the most significant bit is shown as 0, and the least significant bit as 31.
