XC_ST50/30.QXP 00.1.24 1:31 PM Page 3 CCD B/W VIDEO CAMERA MODULE XC-ST50/ST50CE XC-ST30/ST30CE Component / OEM OUTLINE FEATURES The XC-ST50/ST50CE and XC-ST30/ST30CE incorporate the latest CCD and signal processing technologies into a compact black and white camera module. A new external trigger design allows the electronic shutter speed to be freely specified by the width of an external trigger pulse or by a switch setting on the rear panel of the camera. These cameras are also user-friendly, with all switch settings located on the rear panel. Moreover, the XC-ST50/ST50CE 1/2 type CCD and XC-ST30/ST30CE 1/3 type CCD models have the exact same dimensions, simplifying space requirements and making it easy to interchange them if necessary. These features, along with high picture quality and high shock and vibration tolerance make the XC-ST50/ST50CE and XC-ST30/ST30CE cameras ideal for demanding machine vision applications. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● XC-ST50/50CE: 1/2 type IT CCD XC-ST30/30CE: 1/3 type IT CCD Small and lightweight: 44(W) x 29(H) x 57.5(D) mm, 110 g High sensitivity: 0.3 lx (F1.4) High S/N ratio: 60 dB (XC-ST50), 56 dB (XC-ST30) Electronic shutter function (1/100 to 1/10,000 s) Flexible trigger shutter functions – simple trigger with internally generated HD/VD and Write Enable (WEN) – exposure control with switches or trigger pulse width Readout on command (with HD/VD input) 2:1 interlace/non-interlace Frame/field exposure Restart/Reset function Synchronization: internal/external (HD/VD, VS) High shock and vibration tolerance ACCESSORIES Compact camera adaptor (CE standard) 12 pin camera cable (CE standard) Tripod adaptor DC-700/700CE CCXC-12P02N CCXC-12P05N CCXC-12P10N CCXC-12P25N VCT-ST70I ● Compact, lightweight ● Two video outputs ● External sync IN/OUT ● Trigger input/WEN output ● New EIAJ standard 12 pin assignment ● Dimensions: 110(W) x 53(H) x 160(D) mm (2m) (5m) (10m) (25m) ● Isolated type ● Approx. 14 g ● Dimensions: 40(W) x 6(H) x 59(D) mm XC_ST50/30.QXP 00.1.24 1:31 PM Page 4 CONNECTIONS C mount lens VCL-08YM Camera adaptor DC-700/CE New EIAJ standard 12 pin assignment AC VIDEO OUT HD/VD*1 VS*2 WEN TRIG VCL-12YM XC-ST50/CE XC-ST30/CE DC +12 V VIDEO OUT 1 HD/VD* VS*2 Junction box JB-77 Trigger IN connector not available Camera cable CCXC-12P02N CCXC-12P05N CCXC-12P10N CCXC-12P25N VCL-16Y-M Tripod adaptor VCT-ST70I VCL-25Y-M LO-77ERK VCL-50Y-M *1: HD/VD cannot be simultaneously used with VS *2: VS cannot be simultaneously used with HD/VD Extension ring kit LOCATION OF PARTS & OPERATION 1 Lens mount (C mount) ● Side 8 Trigger polarity switch A commercial C mount lens as well as Sony standard lenses can be used. 2 2 Camera fixing reference hole CCD 45 VIDEO CAMERA MODULE 1 High-precision screw hole machined on the lens mount surface. 3 Screw hole for tripod adaptor installation (VCT-ST70I) XC-ST50 4 12 pin multi-connector 2 3 The 12 pin multi-connector is connected to a DC IN/SYNC (DC power/sync signal input) 3 Video out 6 7 4 6 Gamma correction ON/OFF switchable 7 Internal/External synchronization switch 5 In the EXT position, if there is no external sync input, the internal sync is activated inside the camera.
