1. Handling Precautions
1.1 Camera Handling Precautions
□Do not use or store the camera in the extremely dusty or humid places.
□Do not apply excessive force or static electricity that could damage the camera. Handle the camera with
care.
□Do not shoot direct images that are extremely bright (e.g., strong light source, sun, etc.). When strong light
such as spot light was shed, blooming or smear may occur. Put the C mount lens cap on when camera is not
in use.
□Follow the instructions in the Section 3.3., “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 before connecting the camera to monitors or computers.
Any AC leaks or coupling noises 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 avoid noises like
chattering when rising.

□Our warranty does not apply to damages or malfunctions caused by neglecting these precautions.
1.2 Restrictions on Applications
□The camera must not be used for any nuclear equipment or aerospace equipment 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.
□The camera must not be used under conditions or environments other than specified in this manual.
1.3 Disclaimers (Exception Clause)
CIS shall be exempted from taking responsibility and held harmless for damages or losses incurredby the following cases.
□In case damages or losses are caused by earthquake, lightning strike, fire, flood, or other acts of God.
□In case damages or losses are caused by deliberate or accidental misuse by the user, or failure to observe the
information contained in the instructions in this Product Specification and Operational Manual.
□In case damages or losses are caused by repair or modification conducted by the customer or any
unauthorized party.

4. Camera Operational Specifications
4.1 Camera Operational Mode
Full frame scan (1440 pixels x 1080 Lines fixed) mode, ROI mode, and Binning mode are selectable with this camera,
VCC-SXCL5M.
Each mode cannot be selected at one time. Some function also cannot be selected at the same time.
□Formula to calculate the frame rate at continuous readout shutter mode
Inverse of {Time for 1 line × (vertical effective line count + vertical blanking count)}
Time for 1 line = Clock count for 1 line / 74.25M
The clock count for 1 line shall vary depend on the operational mode

4.1.1 ROI (Region of Interest) Mode
□This is a mode to make the frame rate faster by cutting and reducing the area to be readout.
・With the origin (x,y)=(0,0) at the top left corner of the screen at full frame scan mode, the starting
coordinate, width, and height are to be specified.
・ROI Horizontal effective pixels can be specified per 12 pixels.
・ROI Vertical effective lines can be specified per 4 lines.
・The start pixel position from the Horizontal left of ROI can be specified per 4 pixels.
・The start line position from the Vertical top of ROI can be specified per 4 lines.
・ROI setting values shall be set as follows.
x: Column First Position + w: Column Width ≦1440
y: Row First Position + h: Row Height ≦1080
At 8bit output w: Column Width ≧516
At 10bit/12bit output w: Column Width ≧264

total: 1440
total: 1080
・Regardless of its ROI area, the frame rate of horizontal direction is fixed per TAP, and it changes only by
the line number of vertical direction.
□Because the conditions of ROI area for 8bit output and the one for 10bit/12bit output are different, the
camera has two different ROI area settings, one for 8bit output and one for 10bit/12bit output. CIS
recommends customers to set output bit length and tap width (Address 40) before setting ROI area (Address
401).
[Note]
With CIS camera VCC-SXCL5M, horizontal effective pixel number can be set per multiple number of twelve. However,
please be noted that there are some cases that effective pixel number is limited per eight pixels instead of multiple of
twelve, depending on the Camera Link frame grabber board used. In such case, indefinite data might be shown on
horizontal blanking, but it is not an issue for effective pixels.

4.1.2 Binning Mode
□2x2 Binning function is available. Valid only when effective pixels number is 720 pixels × 540 lines
□Horizontal and vertical, two-by-two, total of four pixels are mixed and output as one pixel.
Improvement on S/N is expected.
□Output level becomes the added value of four pixels after mixing pixels.
□Since the vertical effective line number becomes 1/2, the frame rate gets faster and the maximum exposure
time gets smaller.

4.2 Gain Settings
This is to increase video output level by the preset gain or manual gain. Read the current register (Address 104) to
know the current gain value.
※Functionally, gain up function is available up to +42dB. However, the image quality will be reduced when gain
setting becomes high. We recommend you to evaluate it first.

4.3 Settings of Exposure Time
Exposure time can be set. Read the current shutter register (Address 114) to know the current exposure time. (Refer to
the Section 5.2.2. Calculating Exposure Time as well).
There are two kinds of exposure time settings depending on its trigger shutter mode. At continuous reading out shutter
mode, input the line number for exposure time. Exposure time settings can be set per line unit. At fixed trigger shutter
mode, exposure time can be set per 1μs.
Shutter time [μs] = The time set with the register [μs]+14[μs]. At continuous reading out shutter mode, the shutter
time becomes the time for the set line number +14μs. And at fixed trigger shutter mode, the shutter time becomes
the set time +14μs.
□Preset Shutter Mode
This is to use the preset value set in the camera. Please refer to the Section 5.2.1, for the details on the preset
values.
□Manual Shutter Mode
At continuous reading out shutter mode, any preferred exposure time can be set per lines when preset shutter
mode is set to manual control. If a bigger value than the frame rate of the image size is set, exposure time shall
be clipped with the time for the maximum frame rate for the image size to be used.
At trigger shutter mode, any preferred exposure time can be set when preset shutter mode is set to manual control.
Exposure time can be set per 1μs. The minimum exposure time is 6μs+14μs=20μs. And, the maximum exposure
time varies depending on its ROI settings and trigger modes. At trigger shutter mode, exposure time would not be
clipped and the set exposure time +14μs is reflected.
[Note]
・Clipping of the shutter values at continuous reading out shutter mode.
Shutter values shall be clipped corresponding to its ROI settings, in case of when image output size is set to small
size by ROI function and others. (Shutter values are to be clipped with the maximum exposure time of the ROI
settings to be used). In such case, the clipped values can be read with the current shutter (Address 114). And,
if video output size is changed to bigger size and set back to the original size, the value returns to the preset
values.
