1. Scope of Application
This is to describe VCC-12CL1M, 12M resolution, Camera Link B/W CMOS Camera.
All specifications contained herein are subject to change without prior notice. Reproduction in whole or in part is
prohibited.
2. Handling Precautions
The camera must not be used for any nuclear equipments or aerospace equipments with which mechanical failure
or malfunction could result in serious bodily injury or loss of human life. Our warranty does not apply to
damages or defects caused by irregular and/or abnormal use of the product.
Please observe all warnings and cautions stated below.
Our warranty does not apply to damages or malfunctions caused by neglecting these precautions.
 Do not use or store the camera in the following extreme conditions:
 Extremely dusty or humid places.
 Extremely hot or cold places (operating temperature –5 to +4℃5)℃
 Close to generators of powerful electromagnetic radiation such as radio or TV transmitters.
 Places subject to fluorescent light reflections.
 Places subject to unstable (flickering, etc.) lighting conditions.
 Places subject to strong vibration.
 Remove dust or dirt on the surface of the lens with a blower.
 Do not apply excessive force or static electricity that could damage the camera.
 Do not shoot direct images that are extremely bright (e.g., light source, sun, etc.), and when camera
is not in use, put the lens cap on.
 Follow the instructions in Chapter 6, “External connector pin assignment” for connecting the camera.
Improper connection may cause damages not only to the camera but also to the connected devices.
 Confirm the mutual ground potential carefully and then connect the camera to monitors or
computers. AC leaks from the connected devices may cause damages or destroy the camera.
 Do not apply excessive voltage. (Use only the specified voltage.) Unstable or improper power
supply voltage may cause damages or malfunction of the camera.

 The voltage ripple of camera power DC +12V±10% shall be within ±50mV. Improper power
supply voltage may cause noises on the video signals.
 The rising time of camera power supply voltage shall be less than +10V, Max 60ms. Please
avoide noises like chattering when rising.
3. Product Outline

4. Cautions
4.1. Camera output mode
This camera enable to set Medium/Full/10Tap Configuration mode output with a camera mode and 0～+12dB
with a Gain.
However, fix noise in +12dB at medium Configuration might be visible depending on the ambient temperature etc.
Setting a Gain within +6dB at Medium Configuration mode is recommended.
4.2. PoCL (Power over Camera Link)
This camera is supporting PoCL (Power over Camera Link), and requires power supply by two Camera Link cable. Please
check that the connected frame grabber board is capable of supplying the power by both Base side and the Medium / Full side.
If the frame grabber board is not supporting the PoCL, supply power from the 12-pin connector is required.

8.7. Fixed Trigger Shutter Mode
□ This is the mode to start exposure with external input trigger signals, and set the exposure time with
serial commands.
□ Trigger operation is Clock-sync and H/V-sync Restart system. The delay time (Exposure Time Delay)
from detecting trigger edge in the camera to starting exposure is as follows.
Medium Configuration Mode Approx. 170us
Full , 8Tap10Bit Configuration Mode Approx. 90us
10Tap Configuration Mode Approx. 72us
□ The minimum settable value in this mode is 14.
Medium Configuration Mode Approx. 1/15000s
Full , 8Tap10Bit Configuration Mode Approx. 1/30000s
10Tap Configuration Mode Approx. 1/34000s
□ Triggers cannot be accepted during the Exposure Time and Outputting images. *Refer to (A) in the
drawing below.
□ The exposure time is (Shutter setting value – 9 <fixed value>) x 1HD.
□ When you switch between Full Frame Scan Mode and Partial Scan Mode or when you change Partial
setting, the first output image is subject to be unstable.
*Input the first as dummy trigger and use the trigger from the second onward as actual video signal.

8.8. Pulse Width Trigger Shutter Mode
□ This is the mode to start exposure with external input trigger signals, and set the exposure time with
pulse width of the trigger signals.
□ Trigger operation is Clock-sync and H/V-sync Restart system. The delay time (Exposure Time Delay) from
detecting trigger edge in the camera to starting exposure is as follows.
Medium Configuration Mode Approx. 170us
Full , 8Tap10Bit Configuration Mode Approx. 90us
10Tap Configuration Mode Approx. 72us
□ Pulse width is min. 14HD to approx. 2 frames. Functionally, there is no upper limitation, but noises
such as dark noises shadings may be noticeable at long time exposure.
□ Triggers cannot be accepted during the Exposure Time and Outputting images.
□ When you switch between Full Frame Scan Mode and Partial Scan Mode or when you change Partial
setting, the first output image is subject to be unstable.
*Input the first as dummy trigger and use the trigger from the second onward as actual video signal.

9. Binarization
Camera output level can be binarized. When the brightness is low against the binarization threshold value,
the signal level of 0h is output. When the brightness is high, the signal level of 3FFh is output. (The value is
at 10bit output mode.)
9.1. Binarization Threshold Value Mode
The below 3 types of binarization threshold value modes are selectable.
Standard ・・・ Based on the brightness distribution of image, the threshold value is calculated
automatically inside a camera.
※ Set a parameter of binarization threshold value (address 25) to 512d
Barcode ・・・ Based on the brightness distribution of edge areas in image, the threshold value is
calculated automatically inside a camera.
The object which has a lot of edges such as barcode and character can be binarized
with less influences of the fluctuation in flat areas and/or backgrounds. (Refer to the
below drawing)
※ Not effective when there is only horizontal edge.
※ Set a parameter of binarization threshold value to 512d.
Manual ・・・ Based on a parameter of binarization threshold value, the binarization is performed.

10. Shading Correction
It is a function which corrects the fall of peripheral brightness resulting from a lens etc.
After setting a shading correction data in advance, the correction is performed by setting ON a shading
correction (address 26).
10.1. Calculating shading correction data
When the object with uniform levels, such as a pattern box, is imaged on the whole screen and a
shading correction data calculation start (address 27) is set ON, the correction data is calculated inside a
camera automatically and saved.
Start the shading correction data setting at full frame scan mode.

11. Partial Scan Mode
□ Maximum 4 partial areas can be set by serial commands.
Example ： 3 partial areas to be set.
① ： V Blanking (Fixed to 156H)
② ： Partial Area 1
③ ： Partial Area 2
④ ： Partial Area 3
⑤ ： Total line count per frame
