Features

The XC-999/999P is a ultra-small CCD color video camera module which uses a CCD (Charge Coupled Device), a solid stage image sensor.

Ultra-small size and lightweight The camera is so small and light that you can install it anywhere: even in locations where conventional video cameras cannot be installed.

High resolution The CCD used in the camera has either 768 × 494 (XC-999) or 752 × 582 (XC-999P) picture elements, ensuring a high

High Sensitivity A HYPER HAD sensor provides the camera with high sensitivity and less smear, and it is possible to shoot under low light condition.

Four white balance adjustment mode You can choose the white balance mode according to the lighting conditions by setting the WHITE BALANCE switches.

Electronic shutter with wide range of operating speeds The camera's electronic shrutter has four speeds: OFF (1/60 s (XC-999) or 1/50 s (XC-999P)), FLICKERLESS (1/100 s for XC-999 or 1/20 s for XC-999P) and 1/1000 s. By setting the switches to the CCD IRIS position, the camera automatically adjusts the shutter speed according to amount of incident light, thus regulating the level of the video signal.

Special Accessories (not Supplied)

You can build a high performance system by using the following XC-999/999P accessories.

ATW (auto tracing while balance): The while balance is adjusted according to the color temperature transition of the subject. This mode is suitable for shooting with variable lighting.MAN (manual): Select this position when you want to adjust the red color with the R control and the blue color with the B control.

SHUTTER speed switches Set the SHUTTER speed switches to select the desired shutter speed. Set the switches to the CCD IRIS position to use the CCD iris function. OFF: 1/60 s (XC-999) or 1/50 s (XC-999P) (factory setting) 1/1000 s FLICKERLESS: 1/100 s (XC-999) or 1/120 s (XC-999P) CCD IRIS: Selects CCD IRIS mode. Select this position when using the exposure time control functions of the RGB adaptor. By setting the switches to this CCD IRIS the shutter speed according to the incident light.

Note

[Note] When shooting under the light of fluorescent lamps on a 50 Hz (XC-999) and 60 Hz (XC-999P) power supply, particularly at 1/1000 speed or in the CCD IRIS mode, the picture may licker. If that is the case, set the shutter speed to the FLICKERLESS position.

  • [2] R control for manual white balance adjustment This control is effective when the WHITE BALANCE switches are set to MAN. Adjust the red color by turning the control with the supplied screw driver.
  • 3 B control for manual white balance adjustment This control is effective when the WHITE BALANCE switches are set to MAN. Adjust the blue color by turning the control with the supplied screw driver.
  • [4] DC IN/SYNC/VIDEO connector (Multi 12-pin) This connector inputs DC 12 V power and outputs the video signal when the CCXC-12P05S/D/R/U/L camera cable is connected. The camera is synchronized with the external sync signal when receiving an external sync signal (VS, HD/VD) by connecting the signal generator.

[4] SC phase control, H phase control and subcarrier

Subcarrier phase switch

Subcarrier phase switch Set this switch so that the subcarrier phase difference between the genlock input and video output signals is 0°

SC (subcarrier) phase control Use this control for fine adjustment of the subcarrier phase after making a rough adjustment with the subcarrier phase switch.

I (horizontal) phase control Use this control to adjust the H phase difference between the genlock input and video output signals.

between the genlock input and video output signals. Adjust the subcarrier phase and horizontal phase by following the procedure below. Subcarrier phase adjustment Adjust the subcarrier phase roughly by setting the subcarrier phase switch to 0° or 180° so that the phase difference between the genlock input and video output signals is 0° or 180°. Then, make the fine adjustment by using the SC control. Using a vectorscope will allow you to make more accurate adjustment.

Horizontal phase adjustment Adjust the horizontal phase with the H control. A waveform monitor or an oscilloscope will allow you to make the adjustment more easily.

EXPOSURE TIME CONTROL switch CCD IRIS: Select this position so that the camera automatically adjusts the exposure time. MAN: Select this position to adjust the exposure time with the exposure time control. When you set the switch to either of the above positions set the SHUTTER speed switches of the XC-999/999P color camera module to CCD IRIS.

[6] Exposure time control This switch works only when the EXPOSURE TIME CONTROL switch is set to MAN. The shutter speed can be adjusted by adjusting the exposure time.

Usable lens

Special lens (not supplied) • VCL-12S12XM special MT lens (f=12mm) • VCL-06S12XM special MT lens (f=6mm)

Note

[Note] This camera uses a 1/2-inch CCD, so the lens should be intended for use with this size of CCD. In particular, if used with a lens intended for a 2/3-inch CCD, the angle of view will be different.

Notes

The plug is very small and fragile. Take special when handling it.

Do not pull the lens cord connected to the lens adaptor. If so, the plug or camera lens connector may be damaged.

Installation

Replacing the lens cable plug with the PC-XC03 auto iris lens plug (not supplied)

Notes

(Notes) When handling or soldering, treat the plug very careful When soldering the wires to the plug pins, solder them with a soldering iron temperature of less than 280°C (540°F). Perform the soldering quickly within three seconds.

  • 1 Remove the plug from the lens cable. Place the heat shurinkable tube over the lens cable.
  • 2 Solder the shielded wire onto the inside of the shell as illustrated.
  • 3 Solder the cable wires to the pins of the plug. (To identify the cable wires, refer to the manual for your lens.)

Note

  • 4 After soldering, slide the heat shrinkable tube up agaist the terminal block. Secure the wires by heating the heat shrinkable tube with a soldering iron or dryer.
