Features - Sony XC-56BB Technical Manual

The XC-56BB is a black-and-white video camera
module using a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image
sensor.

Features

High image quality
The 330,000-pixel VGA-compatible
image sensor delivers detailed images with the
equivalent of VGA resolution (647 × 493 pixels). The
CCD has square pixels, eliminating the need for aspect
ratio conversion.
Various mode settings
Rear panel switches allow the following mode settings.
• Gain: Fixed/Manual
• Read mode: Normal (30 fps)/Binning (60 fps)
• High-rate scan
• Synchronized input/output
• 75 Ω termination
• Shutter modes: Normal/Trigger shutter
• Shutter speed
External synchronization
The camera module automatically determines whether
to operate in interlace or non-interlace mode from HD
(horizontal drive) and VD (vertical drive) signals input
for external synchronization.
Sync signal output
You can output HD and VD signals from a 12-pin
connector by changing the setting of a rear panel
switch.

Electronic shutter
You can choose from FL (flickerless) mode and a wide
range of image speeds (1/125 to 1/15000 s) for the best
match to shooting conditions.
External trigger shutter function (1/4 to
1/100000 s)
You can obtain a freeze picture by inputting an
1
/ type CCD
3
external trigger. This function is useful for shooting a
fast-moving object clearly.
High-rate scan
By limiting the number of effective image output lines,
you can obtain image output at high frame rates,
suitable for high-speed image processing.
Binning function
Video signals combining vertically adjacent pixels can
be obtained at 60 fps.
Mounting holes
Mounting screw holes are provided on the reference
plane on the lower surface of the body, allowing
mounting for minimum deviation in the optical axis.
The connector complies with the 12-pin
assignment used by the XC-55BB
The pin assignment is compatible with the existing
model, the XC-55BB.
