Overview; Main Features - Sony XC-ES50/50CE Technical Manual

The XC-ES50/50CE, XC-ES51/51CE, XC-EI50/50CE
(with a 1/2 type CCD) and XC-ES30/30CE, XC-EI30/
30CE (with a 1/3 type CCD) are industrial black-and-
white video camera modules. The 1/2- and 1/3-inch C-
mount commonly used in industrial applications
implement compact size and light weight. The mode
switches on the rear panel, which have been inherited
from the XC-ST series, provide improved operability.
The XC-EI series uses a CCD that has near-infrared
sensitivity, which allows you to capture clear images
even in low-intensity illumination. Like the existing
models, they provide high vibration resistance to
support installation on FA equipment.

Main Features

Various mode settings
Rear panel switches allow the following mode settings.
• Gain: Auto/Manual
• γ compensation
• Synchronized input/output
• Potential accumulation: FRAME/FIELD
• 75 Ω termination
• Shutter: Normal/Trigger shutter
External synchronization
The camera module automatically determines whether
to operate in interlace or non-interlace mode from the
HD (horizontal drive) and VD (vertical drive) signals
input for external synchronization.
Internal sync signal output
You can output the HD and VD signals from the 12-
pin connector by changing the setting of the rear panel
switch.

Overview

External trigger shutter function (EIA: 1/4
to 1/10,000 seconds, CCIR: 1/4 to 1/8,000
seconds)
You can obtain a freeze picture by inputting an
external trigger. This function is useful for shooting a
fast-moving object clearly.
Restart/Reset function
Inputting external HD and VD signals (2 VD or more)
continuously can catch one image at an arbitrary point
in time and control the stored CCD.
This function is used for long exposures and with
strobe for frame image output.
Body fixing
Mounting screw holes are provided in the reference
plane on the lower surface of the body. They allow you
to install the camera module with a 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.
