The XC-ST series is a monochrome video camera
module using an interline transfer CCD (Charge
Coupled Device) solid state image sensor.

The interline transfer CCD provides a high-resolution
image with 768 (H) × 494 (V) pixels (XC-ST51/ST50/
ST30) or 752 (H) × 582 (V) pixels (XC-ST51CE/
ST50CE/ST30CE).
Various mode settings
Rear panel switches allow the following mode settings.
• Gain: Auto/Fixed/Manual
• γ compensation
• Synchronized input/output
• Potential accumulation: FRAME/FIELD

External synchronization
HD (horizontal drive), VD (vertical drive) signals:
The camera module automatically determines
whether to operate in interlace or noninterlace

external synchronization.
VS (Video/Sync) signals: External synchronization
with a video or composite sync signal. (The unit
switches automatically between HD/VD and VS

Overview
Internal sync signal output
You can output the HD and VD signals from the 12-
pin connector by changing the rear panel switch.
Electronic shutter function
Shutter speed can be selected from a wide range (1/125
to 1/10000 sec.) or in flickerless (FL) mode.
Body fixing
These mounting screw holes are provided in the
reference plane on the lower surface of the body,
allowing mounting with the absolute minimum
deviation of the optical axis.
The connector complies with the new EIAJ
12-pin pin assignment.
The new pin arrangement allows the connector to
accept a trigger pulse and a WEN signal.
