Features - Sony XC-HR90 Technical Manual

The XC-HR90 is a black-and-white video camera
module using a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image
sensor.

Features

High image quality
The 1,300,000-pixel SXGA-compatible CCD image
sensor delivers detailed images with the equivalent of
SXGA resolution (1280 × 960 pixels). The CCD has
square pixels, eliminating the need for aspect ratio
conversion.
Various mode settings
Rear panel switches, or sending a command from the
host device (e.g., PC) allow the following mode
settings.
• Gain: Fixed/Manual
• Read mode (30 fps): Normal (30 fps)/Binning
(54.1fps)
• Read mode (15 fps): Normal (15 fps)/Binning (30fps)
• Partial scan
• Synchronized input/output
• 75Ω termination
• Shutter modes: Normal/Trigger shutter
• Shutter speed
External synchronization
The camera module automatically detects HD
(horizontal drive) and VD (vertical drive) signals input
for external synchronization.
External 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 a shutter speed from a wide range of
image speeds (1/100 to 1/100,000 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 at a precise moment.
Partial 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 lines can
be obtained at following frame rate.
In read mode (30 fps): 54.1 fps
In read mode (15 fps): 30 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 EIAJ 12-pin connector pin
assignments
The pin arrangement adds pin assignments for trigger
pulses and WEN signals.
