Sony XCG5005E Installation Guide (GigE New w 99E) - Page 2

Sony proudly introduces a new camera to its XCG Series of high-quality, high-performance digital interface cameras: the new XCG-SX99E, a higher frame rate version of the XCG-SX97E. The XCG Series incorporates the GigE Vision interface, which is specifically standardized for machine vision applications based on Gigabit Ethernet technology. In accordance with the growing demand for large-scale systems, this interface enables the cameras to transfer a large amount of data over long distances. The use of an Ethernet cable and the availability of a wide variety of peripheral devices will contribute to significant cost-cutting benefits when designing a complete vision system. Moreover, by incorporating a packet re-send mechanism, the XCG Series can securely transmit data to the host computer. The newly expanded XCG Series now consists of five models - the XCG-5005E, the XCG-U100E, the XCG-SX99E, the XCG-SX97E, and the XCG-V60E. Each camera varies in resolution, frame rate and offers unique benefits that users have come to expect from Sony's camera products. These cameras retain some of the same functionality found in Sony's renowned XCD Series such as bulk trigger mode, sequential trigger mode, and a partial scanning function. In addition, the XCG-SX99E, the XCG-SX97E, and XCG-5005E cameras feature critical functions for security applications such as IR wavelength coverage (XCG-SX99E and XCG-SX97E) and an ultra-high 5-megapixel resolution (XCG-5005E). The XCG camera series offers choice, flexibility, and high image quality options to match your specific inspection application requirements. By utilizing the features and benefits of the GigE Vision interface, the XCG Series expands the possibilities for factory automation and security applications, while also delivering the potential of significant cost savings. FEATURES Full lineup - XCG-5005E, XCG-U100E, XCG-SX99E, XCG-SX97E, XCG-V60E With a variety of resolutions and feature-rich benefits, it's never been easier to select the right camera for your specific factory automation, machine vision, and high-end security applications. Please refer to table 1. GigE Vision Interface The adoption of the GigE Vision interface adds to the outstanding value and performance of the XCG camera series. Answering the growing demand for large-scale systems, the XCG Series can transfer large amounts of data over long distances (up to 100m). In addition, the cameras are reinforced with a packet re-send mechanism that can eliminate the loss of transferred data. Furthermore, the overall cost of a vision system can be reduced with these cameras thanks to the availability of a variety of peripheral devices. Please refer to table 2.
