Sony proudly introduces a new camera to its XCG Series of high-quality, high-performance digital
interface cameras: the new XCG-SX99E, a higher frame rate version of the XCG-SX97E.

The XCG Series incorporates the GigE Vision interface, which is specifically standardized for machine
vision applications based on Gigabit Ethernet technology. In accordance with the growing demand
for large-scale systems, this interface enables the cameras to transfer a large amount of data over
long distances. The use of an Ethernet cable and the availability of a wide variety of peripheral
devices will contribute to significant cost-cutting benefits when designing a complete vision system.
Moreover, by incorporating a packet re-send mechanism, the XCG Series can securely transmit data to
the host computer.

The newly expanded XCG Series now consists of five models – the XCG-5005E, the XCG-U100E, the
XCG-SX99E, the XCG-SX97E, and the XCG-V60E. Each camera varies in resolution, frame rate and
offers unique benefits that users have come to expect from Sony’s camera products. These cameras
retain some of the same functionality found in Sony’s renowned XCD Series such as bulk trigger mode,
sequential trigger mode, and a partial scanning function. In addition, the XCG-SX99E, the XCG-SX97E,
and XCG-5005E cameras feature critical functions for security applications such as IR wavelength
coverage (XCG-SX99E and XCG-SX97E) and an ultra-high 5-megapixel resolution (XCG-5005E).

The XCG camera series offers choice, flexibility, and high image quality options to match your specific
inspection application requirements. By utilizing the features and benefits of the GigE Vision interface,
the XCG Series expands the possibilities for factory automation and security applications, while also
delivering the potential of significant cost savings.

GigE Vision Interface

The adoption of the GigE Vision interface adds to the
outstanding value and performance of the XCG camera
series. Answering the growing demand for large-scale
systems, the XCG Series can transfer large amounts of data
over long distances (up to 100m). In addition, the cameras
are reinforced with a packet re-send mechanism that can
eliminate the loss of transferred data. Furthermore, the overall
cost of a vision system can be reduced with these cameras
thanks to the availability of a variety of peripheral devices.
