[. . . ] They may damage the surface finish, or impair the operation of the shutter adaptor. Owner's Record The model and serial numbers are located on the bottom. Record the serial number in the space provided below. Refer to these numbers whenever you call upon your Sony dealer regarding this product. Model No. [. . . ] An internal switch switches (gamma) compensation on or off. For details on the internal switch, see the Application Guide. 6 Manual gain control 7 VIDEO OUT/DC IN/ SYNC connector 4 Reference holes/ Tripod screw holes 3 Connector for the special cable 2 Reference holes/ Tripod screw holes 8 SIGNAL switch External synchronization The camera module can be synchronized with the signals (explained below). The capture frequency range is ±1% of the horizontal scan frequency. HD (horizontal drive)/VD (vertical drive) signals: The camera module analyzes the HD and VD signals input from external synchronization and automatically determines whether to operate in interlace or non-interlace mode. Wide range of electronic shutter modes The electronic shutter built into this unit is indispensable in attaining the level of image resolution required for factory automation, etc. , and comes with a variety of shutter modes. · Electronic shutter You can select the shutter speed from a wide range of settings (1/100 to 1/8000 sec. ). · E-DONPISHA1) II shutter The E-DONPISHA is an external trigger shutter that can be useful when shooting moving objects. This function enables a camera in a fixed location to capture flickerless images of fast-moving objects. The shutter speed of E-DONPISHA II is controlled by the pulse width of the external trigger signal. 1) 1 Lens mount (NF-mount) Install an NF mounted lens or optical device, e. g. , the standard lens VCL-12S12XM. If you install a C-mount lens on the XC-55BB, you will need the C-mount adaptor LO-999CMT. 2 Reference holes for locking the camera/Tripod screw holes (head unit) You can attach a tripod to the reference holes (4) on the bottom. You will need a tripod adapter VCT-333I to install the tripod. There are two more reference holes on the front of the top surface. Note 7 VIDEO OUT/DC IN/SYNC (Video signal output/DC power input/ sync signal I/O) connector (12-pin) Connect a CCXC-12P05S camera cable to this connector, the +12 V DC power supply, and the video signal output from the camera module. When a sync signal generator outputting external sync signals is connected to this connector, the camera module is synchronized with the external sync signals. The pin configuration of this connector is as follows: 1 2 10 9 8 The XC-55BB head unit (CHU) must have the same serial number as the control unit (CCU). 3 Connector for the special cable Connect the head unit and the control unit with the supplied cable CCXC-T20P02. 4 Reference holes for locking the camera/Tripod screw holes (control unit) High-precision screw holes for locking the camera onto the lens mounted surface. Locking the camera minimizes optical axis deviation. For details, see the Application Guide. 3 11 12 7 4 56 "DONPISHA" is a registered trademark of Sony Corporation. Pin no. [. . . ] It appears as a vertical smear, since the CCD imaging element uses an interline transfer system. White speckles When you shoot a dark object at a high temperature, small white dots may appear all over the image. Vertical aliasing When you shoot vertical stripes or lines, they may appear jagged. Note If strong light enters a wide area of the screen, the screen may become dark. If this occurs, avoid strong light or adjust the lens iris to reduce the light amount. ; ;; ;; ;; ;; Video output Video signal 1N mode timing chart ; ;; ;; ;; ;; 1 2 3 4 5 6 VCL-03S12XM VCL-06S12XM VCL-12S12XM VCL-12SXM Video output ODD EVEN ODD EVEN ODD EVEN Video signal 1I mode timing chart The Video Signal 1N Mode In this mode, the camera module outputs 1/30 sec. non-interlace signals from the VIDEO OUT connector.
