In case there is an ground electric potential difference, the camera may be damaged. 1 Power supply unit 2 Abnormal electricity 3 Ground electric potencial difference 4 Monitor Notes on Operation Power supply The camera operates on 12V DC. Use a stable power source free from ripple or noise. Foreign bodies Be careful not to spill liquids, or drop any flammable or metal objects in the camera body. Heat radiation Do not wrap the camera in cloth or other material while in operation. There is a danger of overheating. Locations for operation and storage Avoid operation or storage in the following places. • Extremely hot or cold locations. Recommended temperature range is 0°C to 40°C. (32°F to 104°F) • Humid or dusty locations • Locations exposed to rain • Locations subject to strong vibration • Near generators of strong electromagnetic radiation such as TV or radio transmitters. Care Use a blower to remove dust from the surface of the lens or optical filter. Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. If the camera is very grimy, apply a cloth soaked in a mild detergent then wipe with a dry cloth. Do not apply organic solvents such as alcohol which may damage the finish. Overview Before operating the unit, please read this manual thoroughly and retain for future reference. The XC-ST series is a monochrome video camera module using an interline transfer CCD (Charge Coupled Device) solid state image sensor. High image quality The interline transfer CCD provides a high-resolution image with 768 × 494 pixels (XC-ST70/ST50/ST30) or 752 × 582 pixels (XC-ST70CE/ST50CE/ ST30CE). Various mode settings Rear panel switches allow the following mode settings. • Gain: Auto/Fixed/Manual • γ compensation • Synchronized input/output • Potential accumulation: FLAME/FIELD • 75Ω termination • Trigger pulse polarity: +/- • Shutter speed: Normal/Trigger shutter External synchronization HD (horizontal drive), VD (vertical drive) signals: The camera module automatically determines whether to operate in interlace or noninterlace mode from the HD and VD signals input for external synchronization. VS (Video/Sync) signals: External synchronization with a video or composite sync signal. (The unit switches automatically between HD/VD and VS synchronization.) Internal sync signal output You can output the HD and VD signals from the 12-pin connector by changing the rear panel switch. Electronic shutter function Shutter speed can be selected from a wide range (1/125 to 1/10000 sec.) or in flickerless (FL) mode. Body fixing These mounting screw holes are provided in the reference plane on the lower surface of the body, allowing mounting with the absolute minimum deviation of the optical axis. The connector complies with the new EIAJ 12-pin pin assignment The new pin arrangement allows the connector to accept a trigger pulse and a WEN signal. System Components Fig. B The CCD Black-and-White Video Camera Module XC-ST series system comprises the following optional products (available separately). 1 CCD Black-and-White Video Camera Module This is a small-size, high-resolution, monochrome video camera module using an interline transfer CCD image sensor. 2 CCXC-12P02N (2m, 6.6ft)/05N (5m, 16.4ft)/10N (10m, 32.8ft)/25N (25m, 82ft) camera cable This is attached to the DC IN/SYNC connector of the camera module and is used for power supply, transmission of video signals, and exchange of sync signals. 3 C-mount lens Recommended lens: VCL-08YM/12YM/16Y-M/25Y-M/50Y-M 4 DC-700/700CE camera adaptor This is connected to the camera module to enable power supply from ordinary AC power source, and also handles transmission of video signals from the camera module and exchange of sync signals between the camera module and an external sync signal generator. 5 VCT-ST70I tripod adaptor This attaches to the bottom of the camera module to fix the camera module to a tripod. Connection example Fig. C Connecting DC-700/700CE (not supplied) Connect the camera module to the power via the camera adaptor DC-700/ 700CE. For details on the camera adaptor DC-700/700CE, see the DC-700/700CE Instruction Manual. 1 Monitor 1 DC IN/SYNC connector 2 C-mount lens (e.g. VCL-16Y-M) 2 To VIDEO 1 connector 3 75-ohm coaxial cable etc. 3 To CAMERA connector 4 Camera cable (e.g. CCXC-12P05N) 4 To AC IN connector 5 TRIG generator, Image processor 5 To AC power source 6 Sync. signal generator 6 To HD connector 7 To VD/SYNC connector 8 HD output 9 VD output Location and Function of Parts and Operation Front/Top/Bottom Fig. D 1 Lens mount (C-mount) Attach any C-mount lens or other optical equipment. Note The lens must not project more than 7 mm (9/32 inch) from the lens mount. 1 Lens mount face 2 7 mm (9/32 inch) or less 2 Reference hole (Top) 3 Reference hole/Tripod screw holes (bottom) These precision screw holes are for locking the camera module. Locking the camera module into these holes secures the optical axis alignment. For details on dimensions, etc., see "About the User's Guide" on the lower right of the back side. You can install the camera on a tripod. To install on a tripod, you will need to install a tripod adaptor VCT-ST70I to the camera on the reference holes of the bottom of the camera. 3 2 1
