1. Scope of Application
This is to describe VCC-G20E30B analog EIA B/W CCD 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 +45℃)
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.
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.
In case of abnormal operation, contact the distributor from whom you purchased the product.

Normal Shutter Mode
At normal shutter mode, consecutive video signals are read with EIA compliant 2:1 interlaced scanning.
With shutter function, rapidly moving objects can be captured clearly.
When adding external sync input, please follow the HD/VD input conditions shown below for 30fps
mode.
Restart-Reset Mode
With adding EXT VD at random timing with over 1VD, data for one screen image is read out. This
function is useful when sensitivity with regular exposure time is not sufficient or when indicating the
locus of moving object. ODD/EVEN field is determined by EXT HD/VD phase.

In case of SYNC Reset mode
Internal VD is reset after completion of exposure and video output signals are read out after 1 ～2H.
Internal VD, Composite Sync, and WEN signals are one-to-one correspondence to trigger input so that
capturing images can be done with any output signals.
HD/VD sync signals are not necessary basically, but signals can be synchronized with internal HD with
inputing HD signals externally.
Exposure time = when setting with switch SW 1 ～4: 1/100 ～1/10000s at 30fps.

In case of SYNC Non-Reset mode
Video output signals are read out at the first VD position generated after completion of exposure.
Single VD should be input between 10μs ～65ms after completion of exposure.
External VD input, Composite Sync, and WEN signals are one-to-one correspondence so that any
signals can be used to capture images.

Cautions for Trigger Shutter Modes
Caution 1: When the next trigger is input before the completion of video signals output for the prior
trigger, the images could be improper.
Caution 2: Smear or blooming could occur when strong incident light is extensively illuminated, with
setting the electric shutter at high speed. To avoid this smear or blooming, lower the volume of
incident light or use a stroboscopic light source to control the light volume.
Caution 3: Please refer to the exposure timing chart below for 30fps mode for the actual timing to start
exposure after adding trigger input, and or for the actual timing to complete exposure at pulse width
trigger shutter operation.
