Features - Sony XC-HR57 Technical Manual

The XC-HR57 is a black-and-white video camera
module using a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image
sensor.

Features

High image quality
The 330,000-pixel VGA-compatible CCD image
sensor delivers detailed images with the equivalent of
VGA resolution (648 × 494 pixels). The CCD has
square pixels, eliminating the need for aspect ratio
conversion.
Various mode settings
Rear panel switches allow the following mode settings.
• Gain: Fixed/Manual
• Read mode: Normal (60 fps)/Binning (120 fps)
• High-rate scan
• Synchronized input/output
• 75Ω termination
• Shutter modes: Normal/Trigger shutter
• Shutter speed
External synchronization
The camera module automatically determines whether
to operate in interlace or non-interlace mode from HD
(horizontal drive) and VD (vertical drive) signals input
for external synchronization.
Sync signal output
You can output HD and VD signals from a 12-pin
connector by changing the setting of a rear panel
switch.

Overview
Electronic shutter
You can choose from FL (flickerless) mode and a wide
range of image speeds (1/125 to 1/30,000 s) for the
best match to shooting conditions.
External trigger shutter function (1/4 to
1/100,000 s)
You can obtain a freeze picture by inputting an
external trigger. This function is useful for shooting a
fast-moving object clearly.
High-rate scan
By limiting the number of effective image output lines,
you can obtain image output at high frame rates,
suitable for high-speed image processing.
Binning function
Video signals combining vertically adjacent pixels can
be obtained at 120 fps.
Mounting holes
Mounting screw holes are provided on the reference
plane on the lower surface of the body, allowing
mounting for minimum deviation in the optical axis.
Compliant with new EIAJ 12-pin connector
pin assignments
The new pin arrangement adds pin assignments for
trigger pulses and WEN signals.
