Note on Installing the Camera Fig. A
When you install the camera with various peripheral devices and if the
devices have different ground electric potential, ground only one device. In
case there is a ground electric potential difference, the camera may be
damaged.
1 Power supply unit (DC-700/700CE) 2 Abnormal electricity
3 Ground electric potential difference 4 Host device (e.g., PC)
Notes on Operation
Before operating the unit, please read this manual thoroughly and retain it
for future reference.
Power supply
The camera operates on +12V DC. Use a stable power source free from
ripple or noise.
Foreign bodies
Be careful not to spill liquids, or drop any flammable or metal objects in the
camera body.
Locations for operation and storage
Avoid operation or storage in the following places.
• Extremely hot or cold locations. Recommended temperature range is 0°C
to 40°C. (32°F to 104°F)
• Locations subject to strong vibration
• Near generators of strong electromagnetic radiation such as TV or radio
transmitters.
Care
Use a blower to remove dust from the surface of the lens or optical filter.
Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth.
If the camera is very grimy, apply a cloth soaked in a mild detergent then
wipe with a dry cloth. Do not apply organic solvents such as alcohol or
benzine which may damage the finish.
Overview
The XC-HR90 is a monochrome video camera module using a progressive
scan CCD (Charge Coupled Device) solid state image sensor.
High image quality
The progressive scan CCD (1,300,000 dots, SXGA compliant) provides a
high-resolution image with 1280 × 960 pixels. By adopting square pixels,
images can be processed using the original aspect ratio without a
converting procedure.
Various mode settings
Rear panel switches, or sending a command from the host device allow the
following mode settings.
• Gain: Fix/Manual
• Read mode (30 fps): normal (30 fps)/binning (54.1 fps)
• Read mode (15 fps): normal (15 fps)/binning (30 fps)
• Partial scan
• Synchronized input/output
• 75Ω termination
• Shutter: Normal/Trigger shutter
• Shutter speed
External synchronization
HD (horizontal drive), VD (vertical drive) signals: The camera module
automatically detects the HD and VD signals input and externally
synchronized with those signals.
Internal sync signal output
You can output the HD and VD signals from the 12-pin connector by
changing the rear panel switch.
Electronic shutter function
Shutter speed can be selected from a wide range (1/100 to 1/100000 sec.).
External trigger shutter function (1/4 to 1/100000 sec.)
You can obtain a freeze picture by inputting an external trigger. This
function is useful to shoot a fast-moving object clearly.
Partial scan
The camera module can limit the number of effective video output lines to
achieve high frame rates, enabling high-speed image processing.
Binning
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
Body fixing
The screw holes to install the camera module are located under the front
panel (the CCD reference plane). Installing the camera module on the front
panel minimizes deviation of the optical axis.
The connector complies with the EIAJ 12-pin assignment
The pin arrangement allows the connector to accept a trigger pulse and a
WEN signal.

System Components Fig. B
The Black-and-White Video Camera Module XC-HR90 system comprises
the following products. (The products 2 to 5 are available separately.)
1 Black-and-White Video Camera Module
This is a small-size, high-resolution, monochrome video camera module
using a progressive scan CCD image sensor.
2 CCXC-12P02N (2m, 6.6ft)/05N (5m, 16.4ft)/10N (10m, 32.8ft)/25N
(25m, 82ft) camera cable
This is attached to the VIDEO OUT/DC IN/SYNC connector of the camera
module and is used for power supply, transmission of video signals, and
exchange of sync signals.
3 C-mount lens
Choose a lens of sufficiently high resolution (SXGA compliant).
Note
Sufficient resolution may not be obtained when a lens other than the one
recommended is used.
4 DC-700/700CE camera adaptor
This is connected to the camera module to enable power supply from
ordinary AC power source, and also handles transmission of video signals
from the camera module and exchange of sync signals between the camera
module and an external sync signal generator.
5 VCT-55I tripod adaptor
This attaches to the bottom of the camera module to fix the camera module
to a tripod.
Connection example Fig. C
Connecting DC-700/700CE (not supplied)
Connect the camera module to the power via the camera adaptor DC-700/
700CE.

Front/Top/Bottom
1 Lens mount (C-mount)
Attach any C-mount lens or other optical equipment.
Note
The lens must not project more than 10 mm (13/32 inch) from the lens
mount.
1 Lens mount face 2 10 mm (13/32 inch) or less
2 Auxiliary screw holes (Top)
3 Reference screw holes/Tripod adaptor screw holes (bottom)
These precision screw holes are for locking the camera module. Locking
the camera module into these holes secures the optical axis alignment.
For details, refer to the Technical Manual.
You can install the camera on a tripod. To install on a tripod, you will need
to install a tripod adaptor VCT-55I to the camera on the reference screw
holes.
