    PCI 64 bit (PCI-X). When you use XCL-5005CR with RGB data output, the frame rate may become low because of insufficient processing capacity even if you use a PCI 64 bit compatible board. If you want to output 15 frames of Camera module interface images every second, use a PCI Express board.
  • Page 6: Connection

    Using the DIGITAL IF (interface) connector The XCL-5005CR/5005 supports the PoCL (Power over Camera Link) standard. By connecting a PoCL-compatible camera link cable to a PoCL-compatible camera module interface board, you can power, control, and output images from the camera using a single cable.

    XCL-5005, as they are both black and white models. In addition, commands that are shared across black and white models and color models can be used in the same way on the XCL-5005CR. This model has also been enhanced with a variety of additional functions and control commands.
  • Page 13: Video Output Format

    D2 [0:11] 3.2. Color pixel array When the XCL-5005CR outputs 8, 10, and 12 bit RAW data, the signals of all pixels are sequentially output according to the Bayer array shown in the figure below. This is common for each operation mode.
  • Page 14: Data Order

    3.3. Data order This section shows the order of data when an image made up of 2448 × N pixels is transmitted by 1TAP/ 2TAP. In normal mode, N = 2050. With the 2TAP 40 MHz transmission system, D1 is a horizontal odd number pixel that is output, and D2 is an even number pixel.

    Mode 2 are the same as the division settings on the XCL- XCL-5000 – 1, 2 (38) 5000, but they cannot be selected on the XCL-5005CR. XCL-5005 1 to 4 Integer from 0 to 38 Mode 3 and Mode 4 have common settings for the XCL- Integer from 0 to 51 5005 and XCL-5005CR.
  • Page 19 Note If the area at the bottom part of the window is selected, the video at the bottom may appear black. This is caused by the optical black being displayed as a result of the partial scan offset, and is not an indication of a malfunction.
  • Page 20 Set the read beginning position in increments of 5 lines for the XCL-5005, and in increments of 10 lines for the XCL-5005CR. Set the read line number in increments of 1 line. Depending on the camera module interface board (frame grabber board) you are using, the pixels in the last line may not display properly.
  • Page 21: Trigger Mode

    4.2.4. Trigger mode This mode is for starting exposure by synchronization with the external trigger input (12-pin or 26-pin connector) and then outputting the individual video signals of all pixels after the time that was set for the shutter elapses. There is the edge detection mode for detecting the rise edge of the external trigger signal and the width detection mode for detecting the effective period of the trigger.

  • Page 25: Shutter Setting

    5. Shutter setting You can use the electronic shutter to set to the exposure time. Furthermore, when the exposure output setting (WEN- STRB=2) is selected for the 10th pin signal output terminal of the DC IN connector (12-pin connector), Hi is output for the exposure period.
  • Page 26: Arbitrary Shutter Setting

    5.2. Arbitrary shutter setting You can set the shutter setting from a minimum of 50 ns to a maximum of 60 s in increments of 1 CLK or 1 µs. ♦ Configuring an arbitrary shutter setting Set three parameters with SHUTTER commands. Parameter 1: 15 (Arbitrary shutter selection) Parameter 2: Numeral in increments of 1 µs.
  • Page 27: Overlap

    5.3. Overlap Configure this setting with TRG-OVLP. In trigger mode or various modes that use an arbitrary shutter, horizontal noise may occur on the screen if an electronic shutter pulse SUB exists in the horizontal transferring period of the CCD. If TRG-OVLP=1 is set, SUB is automatically adjusted so that it occurs in the horizontal transferring blanking period, thus enabling you to prevent the inclusion of noise.

The following filter multiplies the –0.111 –0.111 –0.111 Laplacian filter of 8 proximity by a weighting coefficient of 0.111, and then subtracts the value from the original image, so the edges are emphasized while controlling the sharpness level.

    6.9. Edge detection/ enhancement (DTL) [XCL-5005] Configure this setting with DTL-MODE. In addition to objects, noise is also detected and emphasized when using the filter in “6.8. 3 × 3 filter.” However, DTL is designed to detect and emphasize the edges of objects in a picture while minimizing noise.
  • Page 36: Binarization [Xcl-5005]

    6.10. Binarization [XCL-5005] Configure this setting with BINARIZE. This setting performs the binarization processing. You can set the threshold value of binarization with a parameter. It can be set within the range of 240 to 3900 (when 12 bits). If the image output bit is changed, each of the setting ranges of the threshold value will be 60 to 975 (when 10 bits) and 15 to 243 (when 8 bits).
