XC-75 (installing a 1/2 type CCD) and the XC-73 (installing a 1/3 type CCD), which are used in various types of devices and systems and win popularity in the machine vision field. The XC-ST50/50CE and XC-ST30/30CE provides an external trigger shutter that can capture the image of a high-speed moving object using an external signal.
