Overview
Overview
The XCI-SX1/V3 is a monochrome intelligent camera
that can capture and process pictures, and control
peripheral devices by itself.
Features
High image quality
The XCI-SX1 (SXGA) has a progressive scan CCD of
1,450,000 pixels. The XCI-V3 (VGA) has a
progressive scan CCD of 330,000 pixels. This camera
produces high-resolution images. By adopting square
pixels, images can be processed using the original
aspect ratio without a converting procedure.
Various mode settings
You can adjust the following mode settings.
• Gain
•Read mode: normal /binning
• Partial scan
• Shutter: Normal/Trigger shutter
• Shutter speed
• LUT
•3 × 3 filter (XCI-V3 only)
Partial scan
The camera module can limit the effective video
output area to achieve high frame rates, enabling highspeed image processing.
Binning
By binning two pixels that align vertically or
horizontally, you can acquire a frame rate twice that of
the normal mode vertically, and sensitivity twice that
of normal mode horizontally.
Built-in processor
• x86 CPU
• 256MB DDR-SDRAM
• 128MB Compact Flash
PC standard input/output interface
•LAN connector
• VGA monitor output
•USB connector
Body fixing
Electronic shutter function
Shutter speed can be selected from variety of available
speeds.
External trigger shutter function (2 to
1/50000 sec.)
You can obtain a freeze picture by inputting an
external trigger. This function is useful to shoot a fastmoving object clearly.
Four screw holes to be used to install the camera are
provided both on the top and the bottom of the camera.
Installing the camera module on the front panel
minimizes deviation of the optical axis.
Tripod hole
You can mount the camera on a tripod by using this
hole.

About the camera functions
This unit has the following camera modes. Set your
required camera mode in the GUI application in
accordance with your requirements.
For details regarding operation of the GUI application,
see page 13.
Mode Application
Normal mode To output continuous normal images
To capture a high-speed moving object with vivid
clarity
Trigger mode To capture a high-speed moving object with vivid
clarity
Binning mode To output images at a higher frame rate or higher
sensitivity
Partial scan mode To output images at a higher frame rate
Normal mode
This value depends on
the shutter settings.
4.0 – 4.5 V
0 V
This mode can be set on the SHUTTER screen in the
GUI application for camera settings.
For the XCI-SX1, output of all individual video signals
[1280 (H) × 1024 (V)] is at 15 frames per second as
continuous video.
For the XCI-V3, output of all individual video signals
[640 (H) × 480 (V)] is at 60 frames per second as
continuous video.
Continuous normal images can be captured in this
mode.
When you set the shutter speed higher, you can capture
the high-speed movement of objects with vivid clarity.
8
Functions
Trigger mode
This mode can be set on the SHUTTER screen in the
GUI application for camera settings.
In this mode video signals begin to accumulate by
synchronizing with external trigger input. The video
signals are output after the exposure is finished.
The high-speed movement of objects can be captured
with vivid clarity in this mode.
Set the shutter speed in accordance with the recording
conditions.
Select the shutter speed from the following:
[2, 1, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 1/100, 1/120, 1/250, 1/500, 1/
1000, 1/2000, 1/4000, 1/10000, 1/25000, 1/50000,
Trigger Width] (sec)
When selecting Trigger Width
The mode is set to trigger pulse width detection mode.
The following is the formula for the shutter speed T[s]:
XCI-SX1: T[s] = Trigger width + 6µs
XCI-V3: T[s] = Trigger width + 5µs
You can also set the following on the SHUTTER
screen in the GUI application for camera settings:
• Trigger polarity
This is set to select a trigger input polarity for the
camera.
• Trigger delay function
This function is to delay trigger input to this unit, so
the exposure start time can be delayed until the set
time.
You can fine adjust the capture timing without
changing the camera position even after the camera is
installed.
Trigger delay setting range:
[0 to 4 (sec)] (In units of 1ms)
Binning mode
This mode can be set on the HIGH RATE SCAN
screen in the GUI application for camera settings.
This mode is used to increase the frame rate and/or
sensitivity by adding pixels in both vertical and
horizontal directions.
Select one of the following modes depending on the
binning method.
•1 × 2 (V-binning) mode
In this mode the frame rate almost doubles and the
data volume becomes half by adding two vertical
lines.
When the shutter speed is set, the sensitivity almost
doubles.
For the XCI-SX1, the output data size becomes
1280 (H) × 512 (V).
For the XCI-V3, the output data size becomes
640 (H) × 240 (V).
•2 × 1 (H-binning) mode
In this mode the sensitivity almost doubles and the
data volume becomes half by adding two horizontal
pixels.
As the horizontal synchronization signal frequency is
the same as when in normal mode, the frame rate
doesn’t change.
For the XCI-SX1, the output data size becomes
640 (H) × 1024 (V).
For the XCI-V3, the output data size becomes 320(H)
× 480 (V).
•2 × 2 (HV-binning) mode
In this mode the frame rate and sensitivity almost
double and the data volume becomes 1/4 by adding
two vertical lines and two horizontal pixels.
Moreover, when the shutter speed is set, the
sensitivity almost doubles again.
For the XCI-SX1, the output data size becomes
640 (H) × 512 (V).
For the XCI-V3, the output data size becomes
320 (H) × 240 (V).
• Software trigger function
A trigger is generated within this unit to capture a
still image at any timing.

Partial scan mode
Functions
This mode can be set using the HIGH RATE SCAN
screen in the GUI application for camera settings.
In this mode, the desired rectangle area is read out, and
the redundant image area is transmitted at high speed
to raise the frame rate. The read out area can be set
separately as an effective image area vertically and
horizontally. For the XCI-SX1, the effective image
area is vertically divided into 32 areas and horizontally
divided into 10 areas. You can select a specific portion
among those from 1 block to 32 blocks vertically in
units of one block separately or succesively, and 3
blocks to 10 blocks horizontally in minimum units of
successive 3 blocks. For the XCI-V3, the effective area
is vertically divided into 16 areas and horizontally
divided into 10 areas. You can select a specific portion
among those from 1 block to 16 blocks vertically.
Partial scan can be individually set in a horizontal or
vertical direction.
The tables below show approximate frame rate values
when the partial scan mode is used.
