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.

6 Gamma correction

ON/OFF switchable

7 Internal/External

synchronization switch

In the EXT position, if there is no external sync input, the internal sync is activated inside the camera. In this case, HD/VD signal is not output through the 12 pin multi-connector.

8 Trigger polarity switch

The trigger polarity is selectable (neg/pos polarity)

9 75 Ω termination switch

0 Dip switch

A Gain switch

A: Image output at a fixed level of

image according to the brightness of the subject. (Variable range: 0 to 18 dB)

F: Fixed gain 0 dB M: gain (manual)

Factory setting: the variable gain is adjusted to

the fixed sensitivity for a standard subject. When using two or more XC-ST50/50CE, XC-ST30/30CE cameras, identical images of the same subject can be attained.

B Gain control

The gain can be adjusted between 0 to 18 dB when the gain switch is set to "M".
