These models inherit the basic functions of the XC-75 (installing a 1/2-inch CCD) and the XC-73 (installing a 1/3-inch CCD), which are used in various types of devices and systems and win popularity in the machine vision field. The XCST50/50CE and XC-ST30/30CE provides an external trigger shutter that can catch a high-speed moving subject using an external signal. This enables a still image to be read in arbitrary timing. These two models are compatible with each other, thereby functioning in the same cabinet and by the same operation. 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 rear panel for improved operability and have an internal configuration which implements significant shock and vibration resistance, allowing easy incorporation into machine vision equipment. MAIN FEATURES 1/2", 1/3" 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 gives one still image. This feature allows the capture of high-speed moving object. Restart Reset (R.R) function Inputting HD and VD signals (2 VD or more) continuously from the outside can catch one image at arbitrary time and control the exposure time of CCD. 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 selecting DIP and rotary switch. Almost all switches are located on the rear panel. This feature permits easy setting after equipment is installed. Compact and lightweight C-mount Excellent shock and vibration resistance Compatibility These models are the same in the size and 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. 1 XC-ST50/50CE XC-ST30/30CE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION The components making up the system based on XC-ST50/ST50CE or XC-ST30/ST30CE video camera are as follows.

The phase between VD (reset) and HD signals is as specified in the figure below in any timing. Phase conditions The phase relation between external input HD and VD signals should be set as shown below with respect to the specified center phase. 5 EXT-VD ODD (EVEN) 100 200 200 EVEN (ODD) EXT-HD 455 (454) 455 (454) Unit: Clock The operation in parentheses refers to XC-ST50CE/ST30CE. 1 CLK = 69.84 n sec (XC-ST50/ST30) = 70.48 n sec (XC-ST50CE/ST30CE) Note : The synchronized VD signals are delayed for 1H at HD/VD external synchronization mode, while there is no VD signal delay at VS external synchronization mode. 6 XC-ST50/50CE XC-ST30/30CE ELECTRONIC SHUTTER Two types of electronic shutter are provided “normal shutter and external trigger shutter”. The electronic shutter speed and type can be set using the DIP switch on the rear panel. DIP switch on the rear panel Rear panel DIP switch Switches 1 to 4: Selects the shutter speed. Switch 5: Selects the frame or field integration. Switches 6 to 8: Selects the normal shutter, external trigger shutter, and Restart Reset.

(The field selection is about two times in sensitivity as high as the frame selection.) 7 XC-ST50/50CE XC-ST30/30CE ELECTRONIC SHUTTER External trigger shutter By inputting an external trigger, a high-speed moving subject can be caught at an exact position. Set DIP switches 6, 7, and 8 on the rear panel to mode 1 or 2. (Refer to the table below.) When the trigger pulse width is 1/3 sec or more, the output signal is switched to a normal video signal. There are two modes for timing in which a video signal is obtained. • Mode 1 (Non-reset mode) In this mode, a video signal synchronized with a VD signal is output after a trigger pulse is input. • A video signal is synchronized with the external VD signal when an external HD/VD signal is input. • A video signal is synchronized with an internal VD signal when no external HD/VD signal is input. • Mode 2 (Reset mode) * In this mode, a video signal is output from a trigger pulse after a certain period of time. For more details of each timing chart, refer to pages 16 to 23. Setting of external trigger shutter speed There are two ways to set the shutter speed. • Using DIP switch on the rear panel Mode 1 (Non-reset mode) Switch *1/100 1/125 1/250 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 – – – 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1/500 1/1000 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 Frame: 0 / Field: 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1/2000 1/4000 **1/10000 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1/2000 1/4000 **1/10000 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 6 0 0 1 Mode 2 (Reset mode) Switch *1/100 1/125 1/250 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 – – – 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 1/500 1/1000 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 Frame: 0 / Field: 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 * The external trigger shutter speed is set to 1/100 sec for XC-ST50/ST30(EIA) and 1/120 sec for XC-ST50CE/30CE(CCIR). external trigger shutter speed is set to ** The 1/10000 sec for XC-ST50/ST30(EIA) and 1/8000 sec for XC-ST50CE/30CE(CCIR). 1: ON 0: OFF –: Any • Using trigger pulse width Set all of DIP switches 1 to 4 on the rear panel to 0. • An arbitrary shutter speed can be obtained by setting the trigger pulse width to the range of 2 µsec to 250 msec.

After a trigger pulse is input, a new trigger pulse must not be input before the video signal obtained by the trigger pulse has been output.

To enter this mode, set DIP switches 6, 7, and 8 on the rear panel of a camera as shown in the table below. The setting is especially effective for the following operation. Switch Restart Reset (R.R) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1: ON 0: OFF Long exposure A high-sensitivity image is obtained by extending the exposure time of the CCD when satisfactory sensitivity cannot be obtained under ordinary operating conditions or when observing the trail of a moving object. The exposure time is determined by the VD interval (T) period between external VD pulses as follows. • Timing and conditions Example 1 of Long exposure EXT HD EXT VD Continuous signal: 15.734 kHz (XC-ST50/ST30), 15.625 kHz (XC-ST50CE/30CE) Allowable frequency value ±1% VD interval(T): 262.5H or more (XC-ST50/ST30), 312.5H or more (XC-ST50CE/30CE) and 1 second or less (Recommended) Four or more VD pulses are required.

In this case, the area between the falling edge of a trigger pulse and the subsequent 50 ms period is an external trigger input inhibition area.

Normally, an image is output after the external falling edge. If the falling edge of the trigger is very close to the falling edge of the external VD, there may be a delay of 1VD in the output. The period of uncertainty is when the falling edge of VD is between 65 µs before or 10 µs after the falling edge of the trigger. *5: When the external trigger shutter mode changes into the normal operation mode, one WEN signal is output.

During the trigger inhibit period, an input trigger may be missed. *4: Be sure to input an external VD signal between 10 µs and 100 ms from the falling edge of a trigger pulse (as shown by 1 and 2 in the figure). For the input (except described above), the operation cannot be ensured. If the external VD signal is not input under the prescribed conditions, the normal operation is engaged several V after a change in input operation under the prescribed conditions. *5: When the external trigger shutter mode changes into the normal operation mode, one WEN signal is output.

However, if the time (T in the figure) between the falling edges of a trigger pulse and internal VD signal is under 10 µs, an image is output when the internal VD signal or the next internal VD signal falls (as shown by 3 in the figure). (In this case, an image is output when the next internal VD signal falls.) An image and WEN signal are always output together. For more details, refer to the WEN signal. (The falling edge of an internal VD signal is the same in phase as the beginning of an equalizing pulse in a SYNC V area.)

In this case, the area between the falling edge of a trigger pulse and the subsequent 50 ms period is an external input inhibition area. During the trigger inhibit period, an input trigger may be missed. An image is output when an external VD signal falls 10 ms or more after a trigger pulse rises (shown by 2 and 3 in the figure).
