Overview

Before operating the unit, please read this manual
thoroughly and retain for future reference.

Partial scan (during DC IN power supply
only)

The camera module can limit the number of video
output lines to achieve high frame rates, enabling high­speed image processing.

Overview

This unit is a digital video camera module that adopts
the 1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX interface.

Features

GigE Vision compliant

This unit supports GigE Vision Ver.2.0/Ver.1.2, and the
versions are switchable by changing the settings.

High image quality

All cameras feature a progressive scan CCD for high­resolution images. Both cameras produce stable output
images, by adopting the proven CCD.
By adopting square pixels, images can be processed
using the original aspect ratio without a converting
procedure.
The following models and their CCDs are shown below.

Model name Pixel count

XCG-C30/C32/C30C/
C32C

XCG-C130/C130C 1,300,000-pixel CCD,

330,000-pixel CCD, compatible
with VGA

compatible with SXGA

Body fixing

The screw holes to install the camera module are located
under the front panel (the CCD reference plane).
Installing the camera module on the front panel
minimizes deviation of the optical axis.

LUT (Look Up Table)

You can switch to OFF or ON. When set to ON, you can
select from five preset values, such as inversion,
binarization, settable five-point approximations, etc.

Switching an Output Bit Length

You can select 8-bit output, 10-bit output, or 12-bit
output.
For color models, you can also select an output of RGB
24-bit, YUV 24-bit, or YUV 16-bit.

Binning (during DC IN power supply/
black and white camera only)

Sensitivity can be doubled by combining two pixels
aligned vertically, you can achieve a standard output
frame rate between 1.8x and 2x. Sensitivity can be
doubled by combining two pixels align horizontally.
You can set horizontal and vertical binning at the same
time.

Various settings

Sending a command from the host device allows various
settings, including the following.

•Gain

•Shutter

• Partial scan (during DC IN power supply only)

• Trigger control

• LUT (Look Up Table)

• Output: 8/10/12-bit, RGB 24-bit, YUV 24-bit
(YUV444), or YUV 16-bit (YUV422)

Electronic shutter function

Set anywhere from 1/100,000 sec to 2 sec in 1 µs
increments. If you do not prioritize the image quality,
you can set it up to 60 sec during operation.

External trigger shutter function

By synchronizing with an external trigger signal, any
shutter timing can be used.

White balance control (color camera
only)

You can adjust the R and B level against G level to adjust
the white balance. This unit is also equipped with the
one-push white balance function, by which the camera
can automatically adjust the white balance.

Note

The CCD is driven at high speed during a Partial scan or
Binning operation. In this situation, if intense light is
input to the camera, the peripheral areas of the video
image may be affected. In such a situation, adjust the
amout of light using the iris.

CCD used in XCG-C130/C130C

Typical CCD Phenomena

The following effects on the monitor screen are

Overview

characteristic of CCD cameras. They do not indicate any
fault with the camera module.

Smear

This occurs when shooting a very bright object such as
electric lighting, the sun, or a strong reflection.
This phenomenon is caused by an electric charge
induced by infrared radiation deep in the photosensor. It
appears as a vertical smear, since the CCD imaging
element uses an interline transfer system.

Vertical aliasing

When you shoot vertical stripes or lines, they may
appear jagged.

Under the following operating conditions, because the
construction of the CCD of this camera is different from
the CCDs used in other cameras, the brightness level
near the pedestal may increase, or white dots described
above may become pronounced, degrading the image
quality.

• When used in a hot environment

• When the gain is increased

• When the exposure time is long (0.1 second or longer)
In these situations, decrease the environmental
temperature, or adjust the light source or lens aperture,
and change the camera gain or exposure time.

Note on laser beams

Laser beams may damage a CCD. You are cautioned
that the surface of a CCD should not be exposed to
laser beam radiation in an environment where a laser
beam device is used.

Blemishes

A CCD image sensor consists of an array of individual
sensor elements (pixels). A malfunctioning sensor
element will cause a single pixel blemish in the picture
(This is generally not a problem.).

White speckles

While CCD image pickup device is made by an accurate
technique, imperceptible speckless may rarely come up
on the screen due to cosmic rays and so on. This is
connected to the principle of CCD image pickup device,
not a malfunction. And the white speckless are easy to
come up in the following conditions.

• Using the camera in high temperature

• When turning up the gain

Note

If strong light enters a wide area of the screen, the screen
may become dark. This is not a malfunction.
If this occurs, avoid strong light or adjust the lens iris to
reduce the light amount.

g LAN cable

This cable connects to the RJ45 connector on the rear
panel of the camera module.
Image/control signals are transmitted via this cable. Use
a LAN cable (CAT5e or higher standard) that supports
1000BASE-T (or allows 100BASE-TX when it is used).
Depending on the attributes of the LAN cable, images
may become less clear and the camera module may
become unstable. Be sure to use a LAN cable that has
sufficient noise reduction.

Note

When you connect the LAN cable of the unit to
peripheral device, use a shielded-type cable to prevent
malfunction due to radiation noise.

heat dissipation is required depending on the usage

Overview

environment because the inside of the camera becomes
hot.

• when using PoE system

• when the partial scan is set to less than 120 lines
during the power is supplied through DC IN

To promote heat dissipation from the unit and maintain
performance, mount the camera to a metallic heat
dissipation plate.
Dimension of the heat dissipation plate: 180 mm ×
110 mm × 5 mm or more (Thermal conductivity:

16.3 W/m·K or more)

For heat dissipation, refer to the User's Guide.

Notes

• When mounting the camera to the heat dissipation
plate, secure the camera tightly by using the reference
screw holes (see page 7) and screws.

• Do not mount the camera to a plate made of a material
such as wood or resin that prevents heat dissipation.

• Use this camera in an environment that the read value
of the temperature sensor is 68°C (154.4°F) or less
during PoE mode.

• The read value of the temperature sensor becomes
high if the temperature around the camera is high.
When the read value is higher than 68°C (154.4°F),
mount a heat dissipation plate to the camera.

• If you use a larger heat dissipation plate, it is possible
to lower the read value of the temperature sensor.
The read value of the temperature sensor can be
obtained by the following formula:

Read value of temperature sensor =
Temperature around the camera + Temperature inside
the camera

The relation between the heat dissipation plate area
and the temperature inside the camera is shown in the
following graph:

the PoE operation

This unit has an electrolytic capacitor.
This electrolytic capacitor is not powered on during the
DC IN operation. It is powered on during the PoE
operation.
When the power is supplied by PoE, the electrolytic
capacitor is designed to work for more than 3 years
without any problems even if it is operated for 24 hours
under an environment at a temperature of 40°C (104°F).
Also, if the operating time is 8 hours per day, the life
expectancy is 3 times the above mentioned period.
Periodic inspections are recommended if it is used for a
long time.

Connections

Connections

Network Settings

For the camera to be connected to a network, the
following address data must be properly specified:

• IP address

• Subnet mask

• Default gateway

The camera provides the following three methods for the
address data setting:

• Using Persistent IP

• Using DHCP

• Using Link Local Address (LLA)

Using Persistent IP

Use this method when the IP address to be assigned to
the camera has been specified in advance. When using
the persistent IP, subnet mask and default gateway
settings are also required. When using persistent IP
forwarding on a router, default gateway settings are also
required.

Packet Delay

The delay amount to be inserted between packets can be
set when sending them to a network. By increasing the
packet delay, you can reduce the network bandwidth that
the camera uses for sending packets. However, as the
amount of data sent in a certain time is decreased with
increased delay, the frame rate of output images of the
camera may be consequently decreased.

Using DHCP

The camera is equipped with a function to automatically
obtain an IP address by communicating with a DHCP
server on a network. When using the DHCP method for
IP address setting, the subnet mask and default gateway
values automatically obtained from the DHCP server are
also used.

Using LLA

If neither Persistent IP nor DHCP is used, or if an IP
address cannot be obtained from the DHCP server, the
IP address is determined by LLA. The IP address
determined by LLA will be 169.254.XXX.YYY, with
XXX and YYY automatically specified.

In addition, the following network settings can be
changed.

• Packet size

• Packet delay

Packet Size

The amount of image data per packet can be set in bytes.
To permit the camera to operate properly, set the packet
size to a value less than the MTU of the network device
connected to the camera. Set the largest value in the
networks including the hub.

Network Settings

Network connection speed

This unit supports the connection with 1000Base-T
(1 Gbps) or 100Base-TX (100 Mbps).
When you connect the unit to the network, negotiate the
communication speed with the connected equipment
and start communication at a higher speed of that both
equipment are compatible with.
When using the unit with 100Base-TX connection, the
frame rate to be output is limited, because the output
data band width from the camera becomes narrow
compared to the 1000Base-T connection.
The camera has a buffer to store multiple images and all
of the shot images are stored once in the buffer.
The stored images are output from the camera in order
starting from the oldest image in the buffer.
Therefore, if the frame rate during shooting is faster than
the frame rate that can be output from the camera, the
image data will always be stored in the buffer, and the
time interval from shooting to image output becomes
large.
To avoid this situation, it is required to set the shooting
frame rate to the proper value when using 100Base-TX
connection.
The data rate of images is obtained by the following
formula:

Notes

• Any persistent IP address can be entered, but the
camera may become unable to be detected, depending
on the IP address setting. If this occurs, use a tool for
issuing ForceIP and set a persistent IP address again.

• When setting the parameters (Width, Height, and
PixelFormat) for calculating the payload size, stop
camera image output beforehand.

Shutter (Exposure)

Trigger Control

Free run/trigger mode

Free run

The camera operates without a trigger signal and performs the video output operation continuously after the shutter
(exposure) is finished. The horizontal and vertical timing signals are generated within the camera. During the free-run
operation, image pickup timing cannot be controlled. In the free-run operation, the adjustment is made automatically to
achieve the maximum frame rate according to the shutter setting.

Trigger mode

Exposure is started by detecting the externally input trigger signal. When ExposureMode is 0, exposure is started by
detecting the rising or falling edge of the trigger signal and the trigger edge detection (exposure is performed based on
the set shutter value) is performed. When ExposureMode is 1, the trigger width detection (exposed for the period of the
trigger signal width) is performed.

Special trigger

When operating in trigger mode and performing image pickup in different conditions (such as the shutter, gain, and
image pickup area), the setting has to be changed in advance for each trigger input. However, if the special trigger
operation is enabled, the setting does not have to be changed and continuous image pick up in different conditions is
facilitated. Up to 16 settings can be configured. There are the bulk operations in which images are taken consecutively
by inputting the trigger signal once and the sequential operation in which images are taken each time the trigger signal
is detected. The next exposure is started after the end of video output. In the sequential operation, the second and
subsequent trigger signals should be input 5 ms or more after the end of video output. The special trigger operation and
trigger mode operation cannot be enabled at the same time. The source and polarity of the special trigger signal should
be defined separately from the trigger mode. Each setting should be saved in the user set. For the items reflected, refer
to “Command List” (page 37).

Trigger inhibition

Trigger input can be disabled. This function is effective when disabling the trigger signal to a specific camera in the

Trigger shift

This device can accept exposure by the next trigger even while a video is output (except for the special trigger
operation). In this case, trigger shift should be enabled since the trigger signal can become a noise source. When trigger
shift is enabled, adjustment is made automatically for operations from trigger input to exposure to prevent noise
contamination. Therefore, the time from trigger input to exposure start will be delayed up to 1 line. When disabling
trigger shift, this delay adjustment is not made and exposure is started consistently at the constant timing but noise may
occur in the image. Even when the trigger shift is enabled, the next video cannot be output before completing video
output and the trigger is disabled. Therefore, the exposure time setting (in the trigger edge operation), the effective
period of the trigger signal width to be input (in the trigger width operation), or the trigger interval should be sufficiently

Trigger counter

Accepted triggers by which video output is performed are counted. Triggers are counted up by the internal counter even
in the free-run operation. Setting 0 resets the counter. Video output is not performed for triggers that coincide with the
double exposure timing, but triggers are counted up. Triggers that have been removed by trigger range limit are not
counted. The trigger counter returns to 0 when the upper limit (2147483647) is reached. The trigger counter can return
to 0 by writing 1 to the TriggerCounterReset register.

Functions

Trigger range limit

Only signals in the set trigger width can be accepted as the trigger signal. This functions as a noise filter, which removes
chattering or disturbance noise in the trigger signal line. This also functions as a trigger selector, whereby only a specific
camera can be operated by the trigger when multiple cameras share one trigger signal line. When the trigger signal is
input, exposure is started immediately to increment the trigger counter; however, when trigger width is out of the range,
video is not output and the trigger counter is decremented. If the shutter time is set shorter than the upper limit, triggers
will be received and video is output even if the trigger signal is wider than the trigger range limit. If the trigger source
is soft trigger, trigger range is not enabled.

For example:

The frame rate of XCG-C30 in normal mode is 130 fps

and in low speed mode is 31 fps (12/50 times of the

normal mode). Operation in the low speed mode can

reduce power consumption of maximum approx. 20 %

compared to the operation in the normal mode.

If the unit is suddenly taken from a cold to a warm location, or
if ambient temperature suddenly rises, moisture may form on
the outer surface of the unit and/or inside of the unit. This is
known as condensation. If condensation occurs, turn off the unit
and wait until the condensation clears before operating the unit.
Operating the unit while condensation is present may damage
the unit.

Spectral Sensitivity Characteristics (Typical Values)

Specifications

The life expectancy of the electrolytic capacitor is about 5 years
under normal operating temperatures and normal usage (8
hours per day; 25 days per month). If usage exceeds the above
normal usage frequency, the life expectancy may be reduced
correspondingly.

SONY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY
KIND RESULTING FROM A FAILURE TO IMPLEMENT
PROPER SECURITY MEASURES ON TRANSMISSION
DEVICES, UNAVOIDABLE DATA LEAKS RESULTING
FROM TRANSMISSION SPECIFICATIONS, OR
SECURITY PROBLEMS OF ANY KIND.

Depending on the operating environment, unauthorized third
parties on the network may be able to access the unit. When
connecting the unit to the network, be sure to confirm that the
network is protected securely.
