Overview
Overview
The XC-EU50/EU50CE is a monochrome video
camera module with a 1/2 type CCD for industrial use.
With its sensitivity around the near ultraviolet range
(around 360 nm), utilized the feature of the shorter
wavelength range characteristics and very detailed data
can be detected.
Small scratches, dust or blemishes hardly visible to the
naked eye can be captured as a clear image by
combining the camera with a light source that has a
wavelength of about 360 nm.
This model inherited compact size, rear panel mode
switches from the XC-E series and is ideal for use in
industrial applications.
Main Features
Various mode settings
Rear panel switches allow the following mode settings.
• Gain: Auto/Manual
γ
compensation
•
• Synchronized input/output
• Potential accumulation: FRAME/FIELD
• 75 Ω termination
• Shutter: Normal/Trigger shutter
External trigger shutter function (EIA: 1/4
to 1/10,000 seconds, CCIR: 1/4 to 1/8,000
seconds)
You can obtain a freeze picture by inputting an
external trigger. This function is useful for shooting a
fast-moving object clearly.
Restart/Reset function
Inputting external HD and VD signals (2 VD or more)
continuously can catch one image at an arbitrary point
in time and control the stored CCD.
This function is used for long exposures and with
strobe for frame image output.
Body fixing
Mounting screw holes are provided in the reference
plane on the lower surface of the body, allowing
mounting with the absolute minimum deviation of the
optical axis.
The connector complies with the new EIAJ
12-pin pin assignment
External synchronization
The camera module automatically determines whether
to operate in interlace or non-interlace mode from the
HD (horizontal drive) and VD (vertical drive) signals
input for external synchronization.
Internal sync signal output
You can output the HD and VD signals from the 12pin connector by changing the setting of the rear panel
switch.
The new pin arrangement allows the connector to
accept a trigger pulse and a WEN signal.

power input/sync signal I/O) connector (12-pin)
Connect a CCXC-12P05N camera cable to this
connector for the +12V DC power supply and the
video signal output from the camera module. When a
sync signal generator is connected to this connector,
the camera module is synchronized with the external
sync signals (HD/VD signals).

s to 1/4 sec pulse width.

Notes
• The DIP switch 5 position is optional. (The field
setting is recommended.) The field setting can obtain
a sensitivity that is twice that of the frame setting.
• If you input a new trigger pulse before the video
signal output for the previous trigger pulse is output
completely, an incorrect video signal will be output.

External Trigger Shutter
By inputting an external trigger pulse, the camera is
able to capture fast-moving objects clearly.
Set DIP switches 6, 7, and 8 on the rear panel to Mode
1 or Mode 2 (See the table below).
When you set the trigger pulse width to 1/3 of a second
or more, the output signal changes to the normal
VIDEO signal.
There are two modes for timing in which a video
signal is obtained.
• Mode 1 (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 VD is reset, then an internal
video signal is output after trigger pulse input after a
certain period of time.
For details of each timing chart, see pages 13 to 20.

* If you set the mode to flickerless, the positions of DIP switches 1 to 3 are
optional.
Notes
• The positions of DIP switches 6 and 7 are optional.
• The DIP switch 5 position is optional. (The field
setting is recommended.) The field setting can obtain
a sensitivity that is twice that of the frame setting.
You can set the shutter speed with the DIP switches or
using the trigger pulse width.
To set the shutter speed with the trigger pulse width, see
page 8.
