Outline; Main Features - Sony XC-ST50 Technical Manual

OUTLINE

The XC-ST50/50CE and XC-ST30/30CE are compact, lightweight, black and white cameras of a new concept,
which are produced as input devices for image processing by using the latest technology. These models inherit the
basic functions of the XC-75 (installing a 1/2 type CCD) and the XC-73 (installing a 1/3 type CCD), which are used
in various types of devices and systems and win popularity in the machine vision field. The XC-ST50/50CE and
XC-ST30/30CE provides an external trigger shutter that can capture the image of a high-speed moving object
using an external signal. This enables a still image to be read in arbitrary timing. These two models are compatible
with each other, providing comparable fit and function. The user can select a model according to the conditions of
subjects and optical conditions. In addition, the XC-ST50/50CE and XC-ST30/30CE enable functions to be set on
the external rear panel for improved operability and have an internal configuration which allows for significant
shock and vibration resistance, enabling easy incorporation into machine vision equipment.

MAIN FEATURES

1/2 type, 1/3 type IT CCD
External trigger shutter function
(XC-ST50/ST30: 1/4 to 1/10,000 seconds
XC-ST50CE/ST30CE: 1/4 to 1/8,000 seconds)
Inputting the trigger pulse produces one still image a field. This feature allows the image of a high speed moving
object to be captured.
Restart Reset (R.R) function
By inputting the HD and VD signals (2 VD or more) from an external source, control of the CCD exposure time can
be performed according to the length between VD pulses.
This function is used for long exposures and strobe with frame image output.
Synchronization system: Internal/external HD/VD, and VS
(VS is used only during external synchronization.)
Inputting an HD/VD signal from the outside automatically establishes external synchronization.
This function is effective for controlling multiple cameras efficiently from the external system.
Setting each mode on rear panel:
The setting of each mode can be changed by DIP switches.
Almost all switches are located on the rear panel. This feature allows control settings to be easily made after
equipment is installed.
Compact and lightweight
44 (W) x 29 (H) x 57.5 (D) mm
C-mount
Excellent shock and vibration resistance
70G/10G
Compatibility
These models are the same size and provide the same functions as the XC-ST70. They can be operated in the
same way as the XC-ST70 (installing 2/3-inch CCD). Therefore, they provide high compatibility.
