OTHER INSTRUCTIONS
Do NOT use power other than specified
Be sure to use DC12V power supply. The camera is designed to work only under the specified voltage.
Do NOT attempt to drive the camera with the power other than DC12V. Operating the camera under
power other than DC12V invites a fire or an electric shock hazard.
Avoid intensive light
Do NOT expose the camera’s image-pickup-plane to sunlight or other intense light directly. If the part
of CCD is exposed to spot-intensive light, you might get a picture problem like blooming and/or smear.
Under the comparison at the same video output level, the faster the electronic shutter speed setting, the
more smear is generated.
Use under right operation condition
This equipment is designed and guaranteed to work under the temperature range of 0 to 40 degrees C
and 30 through 90% humidity range. Avoid using the equipment beyond that limits.
Handle with care
Take care not to drop the equipment, nor give strong impact, as this may cause breakdown.
Do NOT tamper with switches
Read this operation guide thoroughly before you touch switches and adjusters on the rear panel.
Do NEVER attempt to disassemble the camera and/or tamper with any inner switches, potentiometers,
etc.
Avoid liquid
Avoid placing the camera where it is likely to be splashed with water or any other fluids. Operating
the camera with its inner parts/circuits in an wet condition might cause a damage or an electric shock
accident.
Avoid placing near TV/radio
This camera might cause an interference (e.g. noise) if used around radio / TV set. In such a case,
change the location of your camera (or radio / TV).
Abnormal operation
In the event that any abnormal condition is observed, turn the power switch OFF immediately. Do
NOT try to continue to use the camera. To do so reckless of visible signs of malfunction invites a fire,
an electric shock hazard, or any other serious damage to the camera. In such case, contact us or our
dealer/distributor from which you purchased the camera for repair service.
Camera installation
For mounting this camera, use screws having inner depth (the portion which go inside the camera
chassis side) shorter than 3.5mm for M3.0, 4 places or 3.0mm for M2.0, 4 places. Longer screws
contact and might damage inner boards/parts.
Waste treatment
Wastes of this product should be separated and discarded in compliance with the various national and
local ordinances.

1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Model CS3950D is an integrated type B/W CCD camera with a XGA format all-pixel-data readout
CCD. The model is suited for high-speed, high-resolution image processing use. Its compact,
light-weight body is ideal for system integration.
2. FEATURES
(1) All pixel's data readout
With its built-in all-pixel-data-readout CCD, this model can read out image-data just in
approximately 1/30 sec. A frame-shutter reads out all data even under RTS (Random Trigger
Shutter) mode.
(2) High resolution
XGA (1024 x 768 pixels) 800k CCD
(3) Square grid pattern CCD
Pixel's in CCD are aligned in square grid pattern. This makes it easier to perform computation
correctly for image processing use.
(4) External Sync.
The camera is switched over to external synchronization operation automatically when external
HD signal is input.
(5) Random trigger shutter function
With a built-in RTS, the camera’s CCD starts light-exposure in synchronization with external
trigger signals. This function enables the camera to capture fast-moving subjects at constant
position for precise image processing.
(6) Restart / Reset
Under the restart / reset mode, this model can capture images at an arbitrary timing cued by
external VD signal.
(7) Partial-scan
Under the partial scan mode, only 1/2 or 1/4 screen center portion of image information is read
out, resulting in a faster operation.
(8) Compact & light-weight camera
The model features its compact and light-weight camera, freeing you from your
integration-space-problem. In addition, it has an excellent shock and vibration resistance.

Timing charts are shown below. (TRIG timing: Positive)
Notes: * RTS selection is automatic with TRIG status
** Neither under FIX nor PULSE W mode, RTS doesn’t
work if Electronic shutter speed SW is set in OFF
position.
Exposure starts at the timing of TRIG signal IN. After each exposure is completed, the
camera outputs video immediately by resetting VD. (HD is not reset)

Exposure time delay under RTS
When the RTS is active, both in FIX mode and PULSE W mode, there is a time delay of
approximately 1.4 micro s until the start of exposure after the rising edge of TRIG signal
(positive).
Exposure time under pulse width mode
Under RTS pulse mode, the exposure time is determined by the pulse width. More exactly,
the actual time is the pulse width plus approximately 8.0 micro s.

(4-3) Restart / Reset
The restart / reset function is available with the ext.VD signal. You can get an arbitrary
slower shutter speed than normal shutter and random trigger shutter.
Here are some notes;
* The shutter speed (exposure time) is determined by ext. VD signal interval.
** This function is enabled when the rear-panel shutter speed DIP SW is OFF.
*** Supply consecutive HD.
Note: Sometimes phenomenon called as “whiteout” occurs at the top of the screen when
there is strong incident light entering in the wide area of a CCD, however, this is not
a malfunction. If this occurs, reduce the amount of incoming rays.
