1. CCD loaded on XCL-5005CR/5005

The 5 million-pixel CCD mounted on XCL-5005CR/
5005 has two signal outputs-left and right two channels
output system CCD-in order to improve the frame rate.
There is a boundary of two imaging areas in the center.
The left and right images of each area are combined one
image by digital signal processing.

Each area of the two channels output system CCD has its
output amplifier. Even so, the boundary does not appear
in the center of the window when the left and right
signals are combined into one picture if the output
amplifier characteristic accord with each other. It is,
however, very difficult for the CCD manufacturing
technique to make two amplifier characteristics accord
completely, and the output levels of left and right may be
different. In this case, a boundary appears in the center
of the window due to the difference of the left and right
levels. XCL-5005CR/5005 has an automatic correction
function that automatically detects and corrects the
difference between the levels in order to make it
indistinguishable. The automatic correction function is
set to on in the factory setting. Otherwise you can cancel
the automatic correction function and set the correction
of left and right levels manually.
A step or a boundary may be seen in the center of the
window according to the camera setting mode. This is
not a malfunction. The boundary is especially easily
seen in the GainUp.
