XCG-H280E XCG-H280CR Digital Video Cameras Sony is expanding its popular XCG GigE camera series with the introduction of two new high-quality cameras. The new XCG-H280E (monochrome) and XCG-H280CR (color) incorporate a 2/3-type EXview HAD CCD II™ sensor which provides high sensitivity with a full-HD high frame rate image-transfer capability with 8-, 10-, or 12-bit video data output. In addition to inheriting some of the unique features of Sony's XCD Series such as Bulk Trigger and Sequential Trigger modes, the XCG-H280E and XCG-H280CR support useful features for ITS (Intelligent Traffic Systems) applications such as Chunk Data and Auto Exposure. The XCG-H280E and XCG-H280CR incorporate the GigE Vision® interface standard, based on Gigabit Ethernet technology. In response to the growing demand for large-scale systems, this interface enables each camera 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 contribute to significant cost-cutting benefits when designing a complete vision system. By utilizing the features and benefits of GigE Vision, XCG-H280E and XCG-H280CR cameras are ideally suited to the demanding requirements of ITS and machine-vision applications. XCG-H280E XCG-H280CR Key Features GigE Vision Interface The adoption of GigE Vision® Version 1.2 adds to the outstanding value and performance of XCG-H280E and XCG-H280CR cameras. Being GenICam-compatible, the XCG-H280E and XCG-H280CR are easy to integrate, thanks to a host of commercially available image-processing libraries. High Frame Rate Image Transfer The XCG-H280E and XCG-H280CR feature a high readout rate of uncompressed images for smooth and clear results. This also enables these cameras to capture fast-moving objects without sacrificing image quality. Resolution Frame rate*1 2ch*2 (default) 4ch*2 1,920 (H) x 1,080 (V) (16:9, default) 32fps 64fps*3 1,920 (H) x 1,440 (V) (4:3) 26fps 52fps*3 *1 Approx. value in free run mode *2 Readout mode of image sensor *3 Frame rate of image sensor. Some image data may not be transferred when the frame rate exceeds transmission capacity. Image Buffer The XCG-H280E and XCG-H280CR are 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. High Sensitivity Utilizing Sony's latest EXview HAD CCD II technology enables the XCG-H280E monochrome camera to capture clear images in lowlight environments. When used with an infrared strobe, the XCG-H280E's high sensitivity in the near-infrared wavelength delivers outstanding picture quality. Bulk Trigger Mode & Sequential Trigger Mode In addition to conventional Trigger modes, XCG-H280E and XCG-H280CR cameras feature advanced Bulk Trigger and Sequential Trigger modes. Each camera supports 16 memory channels that can store up to 16 different camera setups (exposure, gain, LUT). Bulk Trigger mode allows these cameras to capture up to 16 images in rapid succession using a single software or hardware trigger. Sequential Trigger mode allows each camera to capture a single image using successive setups stored in the memory channels with each software or hardware trigger. Chunk Data XCG-H280E and XCG-H280CR cameras feature metadata readout over Ethernet. The metadata includes Trigger Counter, Offset X,Y, Exposure Time, and GPI Status which are useful in ITS applications. Auto Exposure The XCG-H280E and XCG-H280CR feature Auto Exposure which enables these cameras to capture high-quality images under various lighting conditions. Low Power Consumption and Compact Design XCG-H280E and XCG-H280CR cameras feature low power consumption and boast a compact 2 x 2 x 2 3/8 in (50 x 50 x 57.5 mm) design. These cameras also have the ability to operate at temperatures of up to 122°F / 50°C.
