OUTLINE
The XC-ST50/50CE and XC-ST30/30CE are compact, lightweight, black-and-white camera modules of a new
concept, which are produced as input devices for image processing b y using the latest technology. These models
inherit the basic functions of the XC-75 (installing a 1/2-inch CCD) and the XC-73 (installing a 1/3-inch CCD),
which are used in various types of devices and systems and win popularity in the machine vision field. The XCST50/50CE and XC-ST30/30CE provides an external trigger shutter that can catch a high-speed moving subject
using an external signal. This enab les a still image to be read in arbitrary timing. These two models are compatible
with each other, thereb y functioning in the same cabinet and b y the same oper ation. The user can select a model
according to the conditions of subjects and optical conditions. In addition, the XC-ST50/50CE and XC-ST30/30CE
enable functions to be set on the rear panel for improved operability and have an internal configuration which
implements significant shock and vibration resistance, allo wing easy incorporation into machine vision equipment.
MAIN FEATURES
1/2", 1/3" IT CCD
External trigger shutter function
(XC-ST50/ST30: 1/4 to 1/10,000 seconds,
XC-ST50CE/ST30CE: 1/4 to 1/8,000 seconds)
Inputting the trigger pulse gives one still image. This feature allows the capture of high-speed moving object.
Restart Reset (R.R) function
Inputting HD and VD signals (2 VD or more) continuously from the outside can catch one image at arbitrary time
and control the exposure time of CCD.
This function is used for long exposures and strobe with frame image output.
Synchronization system: Internal/external HD/VD, and VS
(VS is used only during external synchronization.)
Inputting an HD/VD signal from the outside automatically establishes external synchronization.
This function is effective for controlling multiple cameras efficiently from the external system.
Setting each mode on rear panel:
The setting of each mode can be changed by selecting DIP and rotary switch.
Almost all switches are located on the rear panel. This feature permits easy setting after equipment is installed.
Compact and lightweight
C-mount
Excellent shock and vibration resistance
Compatibility
These models are the same in the size and functions as the XC-ST70. They can be operated in the same wa y as
the XC-ST70 (installing 2/3-inch CCD). Therefore, they provide high compatibility.

External synchronization for each mode
• For normal video/normal shutter
Continuous HD/VD signal (should conform to EIA and CCIR frequencies in the timing shown in the figure below.)
• For Restart Reset (RR)/external trigger shutter
Continuous HD signal. The phase between VD (reset) and HD signals is as specified in the figure belo w in any

External trigger shutter
By inputting an external trigger, a high-speed moving subject can be caught at an exact position.
Set DIP switches 6, 7, and 8 on the rear panel to mode 1 or 2. (Refer to the table below.)
When the trigger pulse width is 1/3 sec or more, the output signal is switched to a 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, a video signal is output from a trigger pulse after a certain period of time.
For more details of each timing chart, refer to pages 16 to 23.

The information on one screen can be extracted at any time by inputting a restar t/reset signal (HD/VD) from the
outside. To enter this mode , set DIP switches 6, 7, and 8 on the rear panel of a camera as sho wn in the table below .

Long exposure
A high-sensitivity image is obtained by extending the exposure time of the CCD when satisfactory sensitivity
cannot be obtained under ordinary operating conditions or when observing the trail of a moving object.
The exposure time is determined by the VD interval (T) period between external VD pulses as follows.
• Timing and conditions
Example 1 of Long exposure
EXT HD
Continuous signal: 15.734 kHz (XC-ST50/ST30), 15.625 kHz (XC-ST50CE/30CE) Allowable frequency value ±1%

Exposure time for Even field
Video output
Odd and even fields are determined by the phase of the EXT HD/VD signal input from the outside.
VD interval(T): 262.5H or more (XC-ST50/ST30), 312.5H or more (XC-ST50CE/30CE) and 1 second or less (Recommended)

the trigger inhibit period, an input trigger may be missed.
4: In all cases the WEN signal indicates when a valid image is available. Normally, an image is output after
*
the external falling edge. If the falling edge of the trigger is very close to the falling edge of the e xternal VD,
there may be a delay of 1VD in the output. The period of uncertainty is when the falling edge of VD is
between 65 µs before or 10 µs after the falling edge of the trigger.
5: When the external trigger shutter mode changes into the normal operation mode, one WEN signal is
