Electronic shutter
The XC-711/711P cameras are equipped with an electronic shutter to allow user to control the exposure time and so customize the camera for use in various situations.Normal mode Shutter off mode, intended for capturing still objects. Normal shutter An ordinary electronic shutter with shutter speeds selectable between 1/125 and 1/10 000 sec in 7 steps. Flickerless mode For suppressing the flicker of light (illuminating the captured scene) produced depending upon the frequency of the power source. The shutter speed is 1/100 sec for the 50 Hz area and 1/120 sec for the 60 Hz area.
Color handling
The XC-711/711P is a single sensor color camera. Excellent color separation is achieved by employing a primary color (RGB) vertical stripe filter. In opposite to mosaic color filters, full vertical color resolution is preserved by XC-711/711P.
The color information can be adjusted by setting proper white balance mode. Color temperature can thus be adjusted either automatically or to a preset value (3200 or 5600 K).
The RGB and VBS signals may also be output with/without hue compensation (hue preset mode). Finally the chroma component of the video signal can be cut off in the external sync mode.
Internal/External synchronization
In addition to internal sync, the camera can be synchronized by external device too. Possible external sync modes are:VS/VBS mode External synchronization is performed by means of a normal composite signal, VBS or VS (video, sync). HD/VD mode Camera is synchronized by HD/VD (horizontal drive/vertical drive) signals. According to their phase relation, the camera decides whether to operate in interlace or noninterlace mode (see Scanning system).
Following features are compatible with XC-75/77 cameras
Restart Reset function
The Restart Reset function enables to start new image integration at any time (specified by external trigger pulse). While HD signal must be supplied all the time, V reset pulses are generated from the trigger signal. Meaningful video signal (being stored after the trigger) is output since the second (in the field integration mode) or the third (in the frame integration mode) field.
Scanning system (interlaced/noninterlaced)
The camera can operate either in interlace or noninterlace mode (depending on phase relation between HD and VD pulses).Interlace mode Full frame image is split into two fields: odd (lines 1-3-5...) and even (2-4-6...). It enables higher image resolution, but two steps (2 · 1/60 = 1/30 sec or 2 · 1/50 = 1/25 sec for CCIR) are necessary to read out full frame data. Period of VD signal is V = (A + 1/2)H in this mode, A is an integer. Noninterlace mode The camera reads just the odd lines (1-3-5...). That's why full frame data is output every 1/60 or 1/50 sec, however the resolution is half when compared to the interlace mode. Period of VD signal is V = (A)H, A is an integer.
Integration modes
The charge accumulated in the CCD can be presented as output on two different ways.Field integration mode The data of any line in the output is a result of mixture of two adjacent lines - in the odd field charge from lines 1 and 2 is mixed and output as line 1, data from lines 3 and 4 becomes line number 3 in output and so on (in the even field lines 2 and 3 are mixed and read out as line 2). This method minimizes motion blur when shooting a moving target. The disadvantage lies in lower vertical resolution. Frame integration mode The data for every output line is read out from a single line in the CCD chip. This results in a higher vertical resolution, however when shooting fast moving objects the two fields (odd and even) of an image are shifted each other and the image quality is degraded.
Square pixels
The XC-711P (not XC-711) employs a square pixel CCD (cell size 11�11 µm). The square pixels are needed in image processing systems and accurate measuring tasks, because the aspect ratio (the ratio width/height of an image) doesn't require adjustment. Picture elements are equally arrayed in both directions, and allow easy addressing. In case of rectangular pixels one have to maintain the aspect ratio when measuring objects, because the dimensions of stored frame aren't equal to true dimensions; resolutions along x and y axis aren't the same.
Output
Video signal (VBS, 1.0 Vp-p, 75 ohm), generated by the camera electronics, can be output either to a BNC connector or to a special 12-pin multiconnector. The 12-pin connector enables to output internal sync signals (HD, VD, clock) as well.
Besides the interface common in monochrome XC-series cameras, the XC-711/711P features a direct 9-pin D-sub plug (providing RGB, Y/C and SYNC output) for computer imaging devices.
The last camera's connector (4-pin) allows to connect and automatically adjust auto iris lens.
