OUTLINE DIMENSIONS

The XC-7500/XC-8500CE is a frame shutter camera that mounts a newly developed
CCD. Square grid cells most suitable for a machine vision are used for this CCD that
enables all pixels to be read. The resolution is equal in the vertical and horizontal
directions. Therefore, it is not required to correct the dimension on the image
processing side. The XC-7500 conforms to an EIA system of 659 (H) × 494 (V), and
the XC-8500CE conforms to a higher-resolution CCIR system of 782 (H) × 582 (V).
The XC-7500 and XC-8500CE enable a trigger frame shutter (E-DONPISHA) control
function, signal format conversion function, and high-rate scanning function when they
are connected with an optional memory adaptor (CMA-87). Moreover, the still pictures
of various high-speed movable objects can be read at a high resolution (in the horizontal
and vertical directions).

CTL IN/FLD OUT

* CTL IN is very useful for monitoring the normal

image during E-DONPISHA.Serial numbers
100201 and later are set to CTL IN at the
factory.Therefore, a video signal is usually
output when pin 1 is connected to ground
(GND) during E-DONPISHA setting. In the
XC-7500, serial numbers 100001 to 100200
are set to FLD OUT at the factory.To set serial
numbers 100201 and later to FLD OUT, the
XC-7500 must be changed internally.

E-DONPISHA

This function accumulates electric
charges with the external input
trigger pulse as reference, places
them on a continuous sync signal,
and outputs a video signal. The
objects that move at high speed are
recognized using a sensor, and the
image can be precisely shot in the
fixed place. Normal speed (shown in
the figure on the left), low speed,
high speed, and external control
speed are available as the shutter
speed. The shutter operates in the
range of

to 1/100,000 sec.

One-Shot Memory of E-DONPISHA

®

This function controls the E-DONPISHA frame shutter by inputting a
trigger pulse and memorizes the simultaneous timing signal output
from the VIDEO OUT 1 and 2 terminals of the camera.

High-Rate Scanning

The image in a CCD can be read
partially (in the vertical center portion)
at high speed. This function is useful
in the field where a shorter trigger
cycle than one field is required. (1.5,
2, 3, and 4 times the normal speed)

Example)
XC-8500CE: 220/64 lines at 2/4 times the normal speed
XC-7500: 180/48 lines at 2/4 times the normal speed

Sports Mode

In the sports mode, a continuous picture at two times the normal speed
(1/100 sec.) can be read as a 50-field (CCIR/PAL) output by combination
with the XC-8500CE. Since 1/100 sec. are precisely required in the sports
world, this mode can be used for video recording.
