Application Has Never Been Easier
Sony, a renowned leader in digital camera technology, is
introducing six new models to its XCD Series: the
XCD-U100/U100CR, the XCD-SX90/SX90CR, and the
XCD-V60/V60CR. Featuring outstanding picture quality,
high-speed image capturing, and the digital 1394b
interface, this new XCD Series is perfect for high-quality
industrial and manufacturing solutions.
The XCD-U100/U100CR incorporates a 1/1.8-type IT CCD
that captures extremely, high-quality, detailed images
with an ultra-high resolution of 1600 x 1200 (UXGA). The
XCD-SX90/SX90CR employs a Sony unique CCD that
achieves a frame rate of up to 30 fps at 1280 x 960
(SXGA) resolution. The XCD-V60/V60CR achieves up to
90 fps at VGA resolution, which is commonly used in many
machine-vision applications. With this wide range of new
solutions – each with feature-rich benefits – it’s never
been easier to select the right camera for your specific
machine vision applications.
The new XCD Series of cameras adopts the IEEE 1394b
interface that supports the IIDC protocol. By utilizing this
interface, users can transfer images to a host PC at speeds
of up to 800 Mb/s. Moreover,because multiple cameras
can be connected in a daisy-chain configuration,users can
enjoy the benefits of simplified operation in a multi-camera
system. When these XCD cameras are daisy-chained, Bus
Synchronization and Broadcast Delivery are available. With
Bus Synchronization, users can capture images from different
angles simultaneously simply by sending a single trigger from
the host PC. Broadcast Delivery allows users to capture
images from multiple cameras using a software trigger
instead of a hardware trigger, which helps to minimize the
occurrence of false triggers. This function also enables users
to change the settings of multiple cameras simultaneously.
Their compact design and rugged body enables the
XCD Series to be integrated into a wide variety of
industrial environments. In addition, the XCD series
incorporates other features such as partial scanning,
binning, and a hardware LUT (Look Up Table). The new
XCD Series of cameras is ideal for industrial machinevision applications such as object recognition, inspection,
measurement, alignment, and for microscopy
applications in scientific research.
The XCD-U100/XCD-U100CR features a UXGA
CCD that provides the highest resolution out of
all the new XCD cameras. This particular
camera is ideal for applications that require the
capture of ultra-high image detail.
The XCD-SX90/XCD-SX90CR employs an
exclusive Sony CCD and achieves up to 30 fps
with SXGA image quality. For applications that
require high-speed image capture at up to
90 fps, the XCD-V60/XCD-V60CR is the answer.

IEEE 1394b Digital Interface
The new XCD Series employs the IEEE 1394b
interface which attains high data-transfer rates
of up to 800 Mb/s. Since the XCD Series is
backward compatible with IEEE 1394a, these
cameras can be easily integrated with legacy
1394a systems.
Daisy-chain Configuration
The new XCD cameras are equipped with two
IEEE 1394b ports allowing multiple cameras to
be daisy-chained and controlled from a single
PC. A daisy-chain configuration with a large
number of cameras
EIAJ 12-pin connector,which allows external
