3 OUTLINE The XC-ES3/3CE, XC-ES5/5CE, XC-EI3/3CE, and XC-EI5/5CE are industrial black-and-white video camera modules, each using a /3- or /2-inch IT CCD. The /3- and /2-inch C mount commonly used in industrial applications implements compact size and lightweight. Switching of each mode on the rear panel, which has been installed from the XC-ST series, is followed to provide improved operability. The XC-EI series uses a CCD which is sensitive on a near infrared area to capture a clear image even in low-intensity illumination. As with the existing devices, the XC- ES3/3CE, XC-ES5/5CE, XC-EI3/3CE, and XC-EI5/5CE incorporate significant shock and vibration resistance to support installation on FA equipment. MAIN FEATURES /3" and /2" IT CCD A CCD sensitive on a near infrared area is used for the XC-EI series. External trigger shutter function (XC-ES5/ES3, XC-EI5/EI3: /4 to /, seconds, XC-ES5CE/ES3CE, XC-EI5CE/EI3CE: /4 to /8, seconds) 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 stored CCD. This function is used for long exposures and strobe with frame image output. Synchronization system: Internal/external HD/VD 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 the DIP switch. Almost all switches are located on the rear panel. This feature permits easy setting after equipment is installed. Compact and lightweight Compared to the existing devices, the size and weight are reduced widely. Each of the XC-ES3/3CE, XC-ES5/5CE, XC-EI3/3CE, and XC-EI5/5CE can be used in applications using two-piece cameras. C-mount Excellent shock and vibration resistance

(The field selection is about two times in sensitivity as high as the frame selection.) In the flickerless mode, the normal shutter speed is / sec for XC-ES5/ES3 and XC-EI5/EI3 (EIA) and /2 sec for XC-ES5CE/ES3 CE and XC-EI5CE/EI3CE (CCIR). : ON : OFF : Any 7

10 8 XC-E series ELECTRONIC SHUTTER External trigger shutter These modes are used to capture one image (one field) per trigger pulse. Set DIP switches 6, 7, and 8 on the rear panel to mode or 2. (Refer to the table below.) When the trigger pulse width is /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 (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, an internal video signal is output from a trigger pulse after a certain period of time. Video sync is always fixed with odd field for XC-ST7 and even field for XC-ST7CE. For more details of each timing chart, refer to pages 6 to 23. Setting of external trigger shutter speed There are two ways to set the shutter speed.

The external trigger shutter speed is set to / sec for XC-ES5/ES3, XC-EI5/EI3 (EIA) and /8 sec for XC-ES5CE/ES3CE, XC-EI5CE/EI3CE (CCIR). : ON : OFF : Any

11 ELECTRONIC SHUTTER Using trigger pulse width Set DIP switches to 4 on the rear panel to. An arbitrary shutter speed can be obtained by setting the trigger pulse width to the range of 2 µsec to 25 msec. Switch Mode (Non-reset mode) Mode 2 (Reset mode) Frame: / Field: : ON : OFF Exposure time = Trigger pulse width + 97 µsec (EIA) 2 µsec (CCIR) Note :. lt is recommended to set DIP switch 5 for field selection. (The field selection is about two times in sensitivity as high as the frame selection.) 2. 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. Specifications of trigger pulse A B T A: 4 to 5. V B: to. V T: 2 µs to /4 s T: 2 µs to /4 s, µs to /4 s when setting the shutter speed using DIP switch Input impedance: kw or more The voltage and pulse width used are measured at pin of a 2-pin multi-connector on the rear panel. 9

13 RESTART RESET (R.R) The information on one screen can be extracted at any time by inputting a restart/reset signal (HD/VD) from the outside. 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) : ON : OFF Long exposure A high-sensitivity image is obtained by extending the exposure time of the CCD when satisfactory sensitivity cannot be obtained under other 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 of Long exposure EXT HD Continuous signal: khz (XC-ES5/ES3, XC-EI5/XC-EI3)Allowable frequency value ±%, khz (XC-ES5CE/ES3CE, XC-EI5CE/XC-EI3CE) Allowable frequency value ±% EXT VD VD interval(t): 262.5H or more (XC-ES5/ES3, XC-EI5/XC-EI3) and less than second (Recommended), 32.5H or more (XC-ES5CE/ES3CE, XC-EI5CE/XC-EI3CE) and less than second (Recommended) Four or more VD pulses are required. T T T Exposure time for Odd field Exposure time for Even field Video output Odd image Even image Invalid image Valid frame image Odd and even fields are determined by the phase of the EXT HD/VD signal input from the outside.

15 FRAME IMAGE OUTPUT WITH STROBE LIGHT A full frame image with vertical resolution of 485 lines (XC-ST7) or 575 lines (XC-ST7CE) can be obtained with a strobe light by firing the strobe when the exposure time of the two fields overlap. Timing and conditions <Timing chart by restart/reset> EXT HD Continuous signal: khz (XC-ES5/ES3, XC-EI5/XC-EI3)Allowable frequency value ±%, khz (XC-ES5CE/ES3CE, XC-EI5CE/XC-EI3CE) Allowable frequency value ±% EXT VD VD : XC-ES5/ES3, XC-EI5/XC-EI3 (/6sec), XC-ES5CE/ES3CE, XC-EI5CE/XC-EI3CE (/5sec) Four or more VD pulses are required. Strobe light Exposure time for Odd field Exposure time for Even field Video output Odd image Even image Invalid image Valid frame image Odd and even fields are determined by the phase of the EXT HD/VD signal input from the outside. Avoid lighting the scene during the light-emitting inhibit zone defined below. (The field is transfered to the storage area of the CCD, so it can be read out.) Note : For best performance, it is recommended not to flash between VD and VD + H (XC-ES5/ES3, XC-EI5/EI3)/ 6H (XC-ES5CE/ES3CE, XC-EI5CE/EI3CE). 3

Be sure to input both HD and VD signals in this case. 2: Exposure time Te Te = Trigger width + 97 µs (XC-ES5/ES3, XC-EI5/EI3), Te = Trigger width + 2 µs (XC-ES5CE/ES3CE, XC-EI5CE/EI3CE) (The trigger width should be between 2 µs and /4 s) 3: The normal operation state is engaged when the trigger high period exceeds /3sec. The external trigger shutter operation is engaged when the trigger pulse goes low. In this case, the area between the falling edge of a trigger pulse and the subsequent 5 ms period is an external trigger input inhibition area. During the trigger inhibit period, an input trigger may be missed. 4: In all cases the WEN signal indicates when a valid image is available. 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 VD in the output. The period of uncertainty is when the falling edge of VD is between 65 µs before or 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. Note : An image is superimposed when the next exposure ends before the previous image is output. 22

Be sure to input both HD and VD signals in this case. Make the phase of the VD signal coincide with the falling edge of the HD signal during input operation. 2: Exposure time Te Te = Trigger width + 97 µs (XC-ES5/ES3, XC-EI5/EI3), Te = Trigger width + 2 µs (XC-ES5CE/ES3CE, XC-EI5CE/EI3CE) (The trigger width should be between 2 µs and /4 s) 3: The normal operation state is engaged when the trigger high period exceeds /3 sec. After that the external trigger shutter operation is engaged when the trigger pulse goes low. In this case, the area between the falling edge of a trigger pulse and the subsequent 5 ms period is an external trigger input inhibition area. During the trigger inhibit period, an input trigger may be missed. 4: Be sure to input an external VD signal between µs and 75 ms from the falling edge of a trigger pulse (as shown by 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. Note : An image is superimposed when the next exposure ends before the previous image is output. 23

After that, the external trigger shutter operation is engaged when the trigger pulse goes low. In this case, the area between the falling edge of a trigger pulse and the subsequent 5 ms period is an external input inhibition area. During the trigger inhibit period, an input trigger may be missed. 4: An internal VD signal is output by setting the INT/EXT switch on the rear panel to INT. 5: During external trigger shutter operation, an image is output when an internal VD signal falls after a trigger pulse falls (as shown by and 2 in the figure). However, if the time (T in the figure) between the falling edges of a trigger pulse and internal VD signal is under 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.) 6: When the external trigger shutter mode changes into the normal operation mode, one WEN signal is output. Note : An image is superimposed when the next exposure ends before the previous image is output. 24

The period of a continuous VD signal is prescribed as one field. Be sure to input both HD and VD signals. 2: As shown in the table on page 7, exposure time Te is determined by the setting of a DIP switch. 3: The normal operation state is engaged when the high period exceeds /3 sec. After that, the external trigger shutter operation is engaged when the trigger pulse goes low. In this case, the area between the falling edge of a trigger pulse and the subsequent 5 ms period is an external input inhibition area. During the trigger inhibit period, an input trigger may be missed. 4: An image is output when an external VD signal falls ms or more after a trigger pulse rises (shown by 2 and 3 in the figure). If the time (T in the figure) between the falling edges of a trigger pulse and external VD signal is under ms, an image is output when the external VD signal or the next external VD signal falls (as shown by in the figure). (In this case, an image is output when the next external VD signal falls.) An image and WEN signal are always output together. For more details, refer to the WEN signal. Note : An image is superimposed when the next exposure ends before the previous image is output. 25

Be sure to input both HD and VD signals. Make the phase of the VD signal coincide with the falling edge of the HD signal. 2: As shown in the table on page 7, exposure time Te is determined by the setting of a DIP switch. 3: The normal operation state is engaged when the high period exceeds /3 sec. After that, the external trigger shutter operation is engaged when the trigger pulse goes low. In this case, the area between the falling edge of a trigger pulse and the subsequent 5 ms period is an external input inhibition area. During the trigger inhibit period, an input trigger may be missed. 4: Be sure to input an external VD signal for ms to 75 ms from the rising edge of a trigger pulse (as shown by 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. Note : An image is superimposed when the next exposure ends before the previous image is output. 26

After that, the external trigger shutter operation is engaged when the trigger pulse goes low. In this case, the area between the falling edge of a trigger pulse and the subsequent 5 ms period is an external input inhibition area. During the trigger inhibit period, an input trigger may be missed. 4: An internal VD signal is output by setting the INT/EXT switch on the rear panel to INT. 5: An image is output when an internal VD signal falls ms or more after a trigger pulse rises (as shown by 2 and 3 in the figure). If the time (T in the figure) between the falling edges of a trigger pulse and internal VD signal is under ms, an image is output when the internal VD signal or the nextinternal VD signal falls (as shown by 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.
