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)
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 fast-
moving object clearly.
Partial scan
The camera module can limit the effective video
output area to achieve high frame rates, enabling high-
speed 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.
