256 MB DDR-RAM, 32 MB Flash EPROM for program and data storage and can be equipped with multiple head options. Like with all VC Smart Cameras with Texas Instruments DSP, the operation system VCRT allows multitasking. This means for instance that user interface commands can execute in parallel without stopping the inspection process.
VCSBC64XX_HW.pdf – Hardware Documentation VCSBC64XX Smart Cameras 2 Basic Structure The image is formed by a high-resolution progressive scan CCD sensor. One channel of video input is digitized. The image is stored in SDRAM memory using one of the 64 DMA channels (EDMA). Unlike most other Vision Component Smart Cameras, the VCSBC64XX does not have a direct video output.

The VCSBC64XX can be used with 12mm threaded micro lenses or C-mount lens holder. Due to the different options these lens holders have to be ordered separately to the camera, as well as the mounting service. If ordered together, VC ships the camera fully assembled. The C-mount flange distance can then be accurately adjusted.
VCRT 5.29.2 (C6000) Refer to the “Tech News” section, under “Support and Download” on the VC website for an overview of the latest compatible set up. The VCRT PC lib Operation System PC library, the VCLIB Image Processing Library as well as the VCRT Camera Operation System can be downloaded from Support section of the Vision Components Website.
IP addresses to a certain mac address. Determine the mac address of the camera using the shell command “type #ID” to prior to using DHCP IP address allocation! The “Getting Started VC Smart Cameras” and section 6.4.1 include advice on re-setting a camera with unknown or invalid IP Address.
Resetting the Camera with help of the VCnet Recovery Tool A new tool – the “Vcnet Recovery Tool” is provided for resetting the IP address of the TI-based VC Smart Cameras from VC4XXX. Vcnet Recovery is supported from camera OS VCRT 5.21.
6.5.2 Compiling and linking with the VCSBC64XX It is advised to build your C-code as relocatable code (standard setting in the VC template Code Composer project files from VCRT 5.29). In this case VCRT manages the program memory allocation by itself (see Programming Tutorial for more details).
