INTRODUCTION
In response to customer demand, Sony is proud to introduce a new top-of-the-line XCL CameraLink Camera
Series in monochrome and color. With their superb resolution and high frame rates, these new cameras deliver
a level of exceptional picture quality that analog cameras cannot achieve.
The new XCL-S Series cameras incorporate a 1/1-type EXview HAD CCD II™ sensor which provides extremely
high sensitivity. In addition to inheriting many convenient functions from Sony's XCL Series, such as Bulk Trigger
and Sequential Trigger modes, these new cameras also incorporate some unique features including Shading
Correction, Defect Correction, and Temperature Readout.
These new advanced features and benefits make XCL-S Series cameras ideal when the highest inspection
quality is demanded for display panels, semiconductors, solar panels, PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards), and
pharmaceutical applications.

KEY FEATURES
Near-infrared Sensitivity
Utilizing Sony's EXview HAD CCD II technology enables
XCL-S Series cameras to capture clear images in NIR
(near-infrared) wavelengths. When used with an infrared
strobe, each camera produces outstanding picture quality
especially in low light and NIR inspection applications.
High Frame Rate Image Transfer
XCL-S Series cameras feature a high readout rate of
uncompressed images for smooth and clear results. The
XCL-S600 and XCL-S600C achieve 27 frames per second (fps),
and the XCL-S900 and XCL-S900C achieve 18 fps when four-
channel output is selected. This enables these cameras to
capture fast-moving objects without sacrificing image quality.
Shading Correction
With embedded shading correction, XCL-S Series cameras
minimize the uneven image intensity often caused by lighting
and/or the lens. Their internal hardware processing reduces
the need for external image correction that is normally
performed via a frame grabber board and PC. This handy
function reduces the processing load of the PC, and simplifies
the processing task. In addition, these cameras are equipped
with rich optional lighting settings to capture clear images in
varying lighting conditions.*
* XCL-S600 and XCL-S600C: 10 settings; XCL-S900 and XCL-S900C: 6 settings.

Defect Correction
XCL-S Series cameras can automatically minimize defective
pixels (e.g., white and black dots) within the entire imaging
area directly inside the camera. This feature helps simplify
image processing.
Temperature Readout
Each camera comes with an internal temperature sensor. The
host device can receive temperature information by issuing
a command. This eliminates the need for a separate sensor,
and simplifies system configuration.
