Outline; Main Features - Sony XC-ST30 User Manual

OUTLINE

The XC-ST50/50CE and XC-ST30/30CE are compact, lightweight, black-and-white camera modules of a new
concept, which are produced as input devices for image processing by using the latest technology. These models
inherit the basic functions of the XC-75 (installing a 1/2-inch CCD) and the XC-73 (installing a 1/3-inch 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 catch a high-speed moving subject
using an external signal. This enables a still image to be read in arbitrary timing. These two models are compatible
with each other, thereby functioning in the same cabinet and by the same operation. The user can select a model
according to the conditions of subjects and optical conditions. In addition, the XC-ST50/50CE and XC-ST30/30CE
enable functions to be set on the rear panel for improved operability and have an internal configuration which
implements significant shock and vibration resistance, allowing easy incorporation into machine vision equipment.

MAIN FEATURES

1/2", 1/3" IT CCD
External trigger shutter function
(XC-ST50/ST30: 1/4 to 1/10,000 seconds,
XC-ST50CE/ST30CE: 1/4 to 1/8,000 seconds)
Inputting the trigger pulse gives one still image. This feature allows the capture of high-speed moving object.
Restart Reset (R.R) function
Inputting HD and VD signals (2 VD or more) continuously from the outside can catch one image at arbitrary time
and control the exposure time of CCD.
This function is used for long exposures and strobe with frame image output.
Synchronization system: Internal/external HD/VD, and VS
(VS is used only during external synchronization.)
Inputting an HD/VD signal from the outside automatically establishes external synchronization.
This function is effective for controlling multiple cameras efficiently from the external system.
Setting each mode on rear panel:
The setting of each mode can be changed by selecting DIP and rotary switch.
Almost all switches are located on the rear panel. This feature permits easy setting after equipment is installed.
Compact and lightweight
C-mount
Excellent shock and vibration resistance
Compatibility
These models are the same in the size and functions as the XC-ST70. They can be operated in the same way as
the XC-ST70 (installing 2/3-inch CCD). Therefore, they provide high compatibility.
