Bus Synchronization The new XCD Series also features a bus synchronization function enabling users to simultaneously capture images from different angles with multiple cameras by sending a single trigger to all cameras from the host PC. This feature is not only useful for viewing images from different angles, but can be used to recreate a 3D image for more detailed inspection. Image Buffer The new XCD Series is equipped with an image buffer, which serves as temporary storage for captured images for later transmission or retransmission. This function allows users to maximize bandwidth in multiple-camera operations or reconfirm specific images as required. Vertical and Horizontal Partial Scanning By selecting a particular area of an image to be scanned, users of the XCD Series can reduce data size and increase frame rate to minimize processing time. Host PC Bus Synchronization (Reproduction of 3D Images) Broadcast Delivery The broadcast delivery function of the XCD Series can be used to send a software trigger to multiple cameras in a daisy chain. This not only facilitates connections, but eliminates the need for using a hardware trigger which can produce false triggers due to noise. In addition, the broadcast delivery function can be used to simultaneously change camera settings such as shutter speed, exposure, white balance, gain, and more. Bulk Trigger Mode The new XCD Series has a bulk trigger mode to allow the capture of up to 16 images in rapid succession using either a software or hardware trigger. This can be used to capture multiple images of an item at different shutter speeds. By doing so, specific areas of that item can be clearly seen without changing the lighting. Also this allows a composite image with a wide dynamic range to be reproduced. Slow Shutter Speed High Shutter Speed Vertical and Horizontal Binning*2 The Vertical binning feature of the XCD series combines image data for every two lines vertically resulting in increased frame rates and reduced processing time. Horizontal binning combines image data for every two pixels horizontally to achieve greater sensitivity, faster capture speeds, and quicker processing. New Sony 1394.b Driver and SDK A new low level 1394.b driver for these cameras achieves reliable and efficient image transfer without relying on Microsoft's standard Windows® driver. In addition, the new cameras are backward compatible with the current fcam 1394a driver.
