When installing the camera
When you install the camera with various peripheral devices and if the
devices have different ground electric potential, ground only one device. In
case there is an ground electric potential difference, the camera may be
damaged.
1 Power supply unit
3 Ground electric potencial difference
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
pixels (XC-ST70/ST50/ST30) or 752
ST30CE).
Various mode settings
Rear panel switches allow the following mode settings.
• Gain: Auto/Fixed/Manual
•
compensation
• Synchronized input/output
• Potential accumulation: FLAME/FIELD
• 75
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
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
12
You can output the HD and VD signals from the 12-pin connector by
changing the rear panel switch.
Electronic shutter function
1 / 1 2 5
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
)
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
C
This attaches to the bottom of the camera module to fix the camera module
to a tripod.
