  • Page 3: Outline

    XC-ST70/70CE OUTLINE The XC-ST70/70CE is a compact, lightweight black-and-white camera module using the latest technology and a 2/3- inch new-generation CCD. Each mode can be set by selecting the switches on the rear panel. The XC-ST70/70CE 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.

  • Page 8: Phase Conditions Of External Synchronization

    XC-ST70/70CE PHASE CONDITIONS OF EXTERNAL SYNCHRONIZATION External synchronization for each mode • For normal video/normal shutter Continuous HD/VD signal (should conform to EIA and CCIR frequencies in the timing shown in the figure below.) • For Restart Reset (RR)/external trigger shutter Continuous HD signal.

  • Page 9: Electronic Shutter

    XC-ST70/70CE ELECTRONIC SHUTTER Two types of electronic shutter are provided “normal shutter and external trigger shutter”. The electronic shutter speed and type can be set using the DIP switch on the rear panel. DIP switch on the rear panel Normal shutter This mode provides continuous video output with the electronic shutter selected by switches to clearly capture a high-speed moving object.

  • Page 10: External Trigger Shutter

    XC-ST70/70CE ELECTRONIC SHUTTER External trigger shutter These modes are used to capture one image (one field) per trigger pulse. Set DIP switches 6, 7, and 8 on the rear panel to mode 1 or 2. (Refer to the table below.) When the trigger pulse width is 1/3 sec or more, the output signal is switched to a normal video signal.

  • Page 12: Restart Reset (R.r)

    XC-ST70/70CE RESTART RESET (R.R) The information on one screen can be extracted at any time by inputting a restart/reset signal (HD/VD) from the outside. To enter this mode, set DIP switches 6, 7, and 8 on the rear panel of a camera as shown in the table below. The setting is especially effective for the following operation.
