Overview

The XC-EU50/EU50CE is a monochrome video

camera module with a 1/2 type CCD for industrial use.

With its sensitivity around the near ultraviolet range

(around 360 nm), utilized the feature of the shorter

wavelength range characteristics and very detailed data

can be detected.

Small scratches, dust or blemishes hardly visible to the

naked eye can be captured as a clear image by

combining the camera with a light source that has a

wavelength of about 360 nm.

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

This model inherited compact size, rear panel mode

switches from the XC-E series and is ideal for use in

industrial applications.

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.

Main Features

Body fixing

Various mode settings

Mounting screw holes are provided in the reference

plane on the lower surface of the body, allowing

mounting with the absolute minimum deviation of the

optical axis.

Rear panel switches allow the following mode settings.

• Gain: Auto/Manual

• γ compensation

• Synchronized input/output

• Potential accumulation: FRAME/FIELD

• 75 Ω termination

The connector complies with the new EIAJ

12-pin pin assignment

• Shutter: Normal/Trigger shutter

The new pin arrangement allows the connector to

accept a trigger pulse and a WEN signal.

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.

Set all DIP switches (1 to 4 on the rear panel) to 0.

You can obtain an arbitrary shutter speed by setting the

trigger pulse width to the range of 2 µsec to 250 msec.

Make sure that the external HD/VD phases against the

standard central phase are as shown in the figure

above. Invalid signal input may cause an error in the

internal reset.

Mode 1 (Non-reset mode)

Mode Setting

Normal Shutter

ExternalTrigger Shutter

This mode provides continuous video output with the

electronic shutter selected by switches to capture a

high-speed moving object clearly.

By inputting an external trigger pulse, the camera is

able to capture fast-moving objects clearly.

Set DIP switches 6, 7, and 8 on the rear panel to Mode

1 or Mode 2 (See the table below).

When you set the trigger pulse width to 1/3 of a second

or more, the output signal changes to the normal

VIDEO signal.

Setting of the Normal Shutter

Using the DIP switches on the rear panel

There are two modes for timing in which a video

signal is obtained.

• Mode 1 (Non-reset mode)

1/125

1/250

1/500

1/1000

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, an internal VD is reset, then an internal

video signal is output after trigger pulse input after a

certain period of time.

For details of each timing chart, see pages 13 to 20.

Mode Setting

Restart/Reset

To set Restart/Reset mode

The information on one screen can be extracted at any

time by externally inputting a restart/reset signal (HD/

VD). To enter this mode, set DIP switches 6, 7, and 8

on the rear panel of the camera as shown in the figure

below. The setting is especially effective for the

operation explained below.

Long exposure

Note

The Restart/Reset function extends the CCD

accumulation time, resulting in a highly sensitive

image. This function is effective when you cannot gain

satisfactory sensitivity under normal operating

conditions, or when you want to observe a moving

object. Extend the VD interval (T) period between

external VD pulses.

Some white spots may appear after a long exposure.

(T in the figure) is under 10 ms, it is not defined

whether the image is output for the internal VD

falling edge or the image is output for the next

internal VD falling edge. (1 in the figure shows

that the image is output for the next internal VD).

In this case, see WEN since the image and WEN

make up a pair.

*2 The exposure time (Te) is determined by the

setting of the DIP switches.

For details, see Page 9.

*3 The normal operation state is chosen when the

trigger pulse width is 1/3 s or more. The trigger

falling edge restores the external trigger shutter

operation. 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.

There is no guarantee of operation for any triggers

input in this period.

(The internal VD falling edge and the beginning

of the equivalent pause in the V period of the

SYNC have the same phase.)

Note

*4 The internal VD signals are output as long as there

is no external input and the HD/VD signal

An image is not output correctly when the next

trigger is input before the image for the previous

trigger is output.

input frequency must be [Trigger pulse width + 1

field + 2 H frequency] or more. The operation is

not guaranteed for shorter frequencies. If invalid

data is input, normal operation is resumed several

Vs after entering the correct data.

*4 A VD signal is generated after 1 H to 2 H from the

trigger falling edge, then the image is output

synchronized with the VD generation.

*5 When the external trigger shutter mode changes to

the normal operation mode, one WEN signal is

output.

*2 Exposure time (Te)

Te = Trigger pulse width + 97 µsec (EIA)

Te = Trigger pulse width + 120 µsec (CCIR)

(The effective trigger pulse width for the external

trigger shutter operation is between 2 µs and 1/4 s.)

*3 The normal operation state is chosen when the

trigger pulse width is 1/3 s or more. The trigger

falling edge restores the external trigger shutter

operation. In this case, the area between the falling

edge of a trigger pulse and the subsequent 50 ms
