Digital Video Raw Color Cameras

Sony proudly introduces two new raw color GigE cameras to

its popular XCG Series: the high-quality, high-performance

XCG-5005CR and XCG-U100CR.

These cameras incorporate 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 contribute to significant

cost-cutting benefits when designing a complete vision system.

The new XCG cameras use a CCD with a color mask

(commonly called a “Bayer filter”) and output the “raw color”

pixel values in 8, 10 or 12 bit to be converted to a color image

on a computer.

The color conversion that takes place in the

computer is supported by Sony’s XCG-Software and a variety of

commercially available third-party software programs.

In addition, the XCG-5005CR and the XCG-U100CR cameras

offer unique benefits that are inherited from the Sony’s XCD

Series such as Bulk Trigger mode and Sequential Trigger mode.

By utilizing the features and benefits of the GigE Vision interface,

the XCG-5005CR and the XCG-U100CR cameras expand the

possibilities for intelligent traffic, factory automation, food and

beverage inspection, and pharmaceutical applications.

KEY FEATURES

GigE Vision Interface

The adoption of the GigE Vision interface (Ver. 1.2) adds to the

outstanding value and performance of the XCG-5005CR and the

XCG-U100CR cameras. Answering the growing demand for large-scale

systems, they can transfer large amounts of data over long distances

(up to 100 meters). In addition, the overall cost of a vision system can be

reduced with these cameras thanks to the availability of a variety of

peripheral devices.

High Frame Rate Image Transfer

The XCG-5005CR and the XCG-U100CR cameras feature a high readout

rate of uncompressed images for smooth and clear results.

The XCG-5005CR achieves 15fps and the XCG-U100CR achieves 27fps.

Bulk Trigger Mode/Sequential Trigger Mode

In addition to its conventional trigger mode, the XCG-5005CR and the

XCG-U100CR cameras also feature advanced “Bulk Trigger” and

“Sequential Trigger” modes.

Both cameras support 16 memory channels

that can store up to 16 different camera setups (exposure, gain, LUT).

“Bulk Trigger” mode allows the XCG cameras to capture up to 16 images

in rapid succession using a single software or hardware trigger.

“Sequential Trigger” mode allows the camera to capture a single image

using successive setups stored in the memory channels with each

software or hardware trigger.

Low Power Consumption and Compact Design

These compact, lightweight cameras feature low power consumption, and

the ability to operate at temperatures up to 122°F / 50°C

High Resistance to Shock and Vibration

Due to their robustness and vibration resistance, the XCG cameras deliver

outstanding performance in the most challenging environmental

conditions.
