Overview; Features - Sony XCL-5000 Technical Manual

Overview

The XCL-5000 is a monochrome digital video camera
module. This camera module outputs digital images
utilizing LVDS via the digital interface connector.

Features

Digital interface connector
Equipped with a Camera Link standard small connector.
The XCL-5000 can output a digital image at 15 frames
per second.
High image quality
The XCL-5000 has a progressive scan CCD of
5,000,000 pixels. Both cameras produce high-resolution
images. By adopting square pixels, images can be
processed using the original aspect ratio without a
converting procedure.
Various mode settings
Sending a command from the host device allows the
following mode settings.
• Gain
• Read mode: normal /binning
• Partial scan
• Shutter: Normal/Trigger shutter
• Shutter speed
• Gamma
• Edge detection, Edge emphasis
• Binarization
• Switching an Output Bit Length
Electronic shutter function
Shutter speed can be selected from variety of available
speeds.
External trigger shutter function (2 to
1/10000 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
By "binning" two pixels that align vertically, you can
acquire a frame rate twice as high as that in the normal
mode.
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.
Gamma
You can select Off, Manual or Default. When you select
Manual, you can draw up an original gamma line.
Edge detection, Edge emphasis
Edge detection detects an Edge from a picture, and
outputs an image made of the Edge only.
Edge emphasis outputs a clear image emphasized on the
Edge.
Binarization
Outputs an binarized image. Threshold can be changed.
Switching an Output Bit Length
You can select 12 bit output, 10 bit output, or 8 bit
output.
Note
The CCD is driven at high speed during a Partial scan or
Binning operation. In this situation, if intense light is
input to the camera, the peripheral areas of the video
image may be affected. In such a situation, adjust the
amout of light using the iris.
