1. Scope of Application
This is to describe VCC-FC41SX29CL, 6M CMOS Color (RAW) Camera Link 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.
zRolling Shutter system is adopted to VCC-FC41SX29CL so that electrical charge cannot be swept
out at one time to reset. Due to this rolling shutter system, images out-of-exposure signal period
will be superimposed. To avoid the superimposed images, please keep shooting conditions dark
or give sufficient stroboscopic lighting source when shooting.
zDo not use or store the camera in the following extreme conditions:
¾Extremely dusty or humid places.
¾Extremely hot or cold places (operating temperature –5 to +4℃5)℃
¾Close to generators of powerful electromagnetic radiation such as radio or TV transmitters.
¾Places subject to fluorescent light reflections.
¾Places subject to unstable (flickering, etc.) lighting conditions.
¾Places subject to strong vibration.
zRemove dust or dirt on the surface of the lens with a blower.
zDo not apply excessive force or static electricity that could damage the camera.
zDo 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.

zFollow the instructions typeapter 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.
zConfirm 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.
zDo not apply excessive voltage. (Use only the specified voltage.) Unstable or improper power
supply voltage may cause damages or malfunction of the camera.
zThe voltage ripple of camera power DC +12V±10% shall be within ±50mV.
Improper power supply voltage may cause noises on the video signals.
zThe rising time of camera power supply voltage shall be less than +10V, Max 60ms.
Please avoid noises like chattering when rising.
In case of abnormal operation, contact the distributor from whom you purchased the product.

3. Product Outline
VCC-FC41SX29CL is a camera link interfaced, high-resolution industrial color video camera module
utilizing a 1/1.8 type, 6M pixels, CMOS image sensor. Entire pixels can be read out within approx.
1/60s.
Features
□ Rolling shutter system is adopted to the CMOS sensor of VCC-FC41SX29CL. To capture the
images without distortion, interlock lightings with camera exposure signal output.
□ Shutter speed can be set from 1/60sec ～1/120,000sec at fixed trigger shutter mode, and at
pulse width trigger shutter mode.
□ Frame rates are as follows.
60 fps mode 60fps at full frame scan mode
60fps～537fps at partial scan mode (Valid only at trigger mode.)
15 fps mode 15fps at full frame scan mode
15fps～134fps at partial scan mode (Valid only at trigger mode.)
Bundled Items
□ Camera
□ CIS Control Panel Software (For evaluation and demonstration purpose). ※

7.5. 60fps Trigger Shutter Mode Timing
□Rolling Shutter system is adopted to VCC-FC41SX29CL so that electrical charge cannot be swept
out at one time to reset. Due to this rolling shutter system, images out-of-exposure signal
period will be superimposed. To avoid the superimposed images, please keep shooting
conditions dark or give sufficient stroboscopic lighting source when shooting.
□Trigger operation is CLK sync, V-Sync Reset.
Delay time, from detecting the trigger edge to starting exposure, is as follows.
60fps Trigger Shutter Mode
:0.15μs
60fps Pulse Width Trigger Shutter Mode
□Shutter Time (at Progressive Scan)
60fps Fixed Trigger Shutter Mode : 1/120,000s (1H) ～1/60s (2310H)
: 1H Step Resister Assigned (Address 009 & 010)
60fps Pulse Width Trigger Shutter Mode : 1/120,000s (8.222μs) ～1/60s (16.677ms)
:PulseWidth7.222μs x n + 1μs (0 ≦n ≦2309)
□The shortest input interval (Tact Time) is as follows.
60fps Trigger Shutter Mode
:ShutterTime+VideoOutputTime
60fps Pulse Width Trigger Shutter Mode (Progressive: 16.683ms)
□Trigger signals input prior to the completion of video output signals for the prior trigger shall be
ignored.

7.6. 60fps Trigger Shutter Mode (Pseudo-Reset Shutter)
□Rolling Shutter system is adopted to VCC-FC41SX29CL so that electrical charge cannot be swept
out at one time to reset. Due to this rolling shutter system, images out-of-exposure signal
period will be superimposed. To avoid the superimposed images, please keep shooting
conditions dark or give sufficient stroboscopic lighting source when shooting.
With this shutter mode, the electrical charge, stored before the trigger input, can be reset,
reading out the video once from CMOS sensor when detecting the trigger.
□Trigger operation is CLK sync, V-Sync Reset.
Delay time, from detecting the trigger edge to starting exposure, is as follows.
60fps Trigger Shutter Mode (Pseudo-Reset Shutter)
:16.033ms
60fps Pulse Width Trigger Shutter Mode (Pseudo-Reset Shutter)
□With 60fps Pulse Width Trigger Shutter Mode (Pseudo-Reset Shutter), the camera samples
trigger shutter signals with H (7.222μs).
Therefore, trigger signals with margin, over H (7.222μs) x n + 1μs, shall be input.
Without the above margin, 1H jitter may occur with Shutter Time.
□Shutter Time (at Progressive Scan)
60fps Fixed Trigger Shutter Mode : 1/120,000s (1H) ～1/60s (2310H)
: 1H Step Resister Assigned (Address 009 & 010)
60fps Pulse Width Trigger Shutter Mode : 1/120,000s (8.222μs) ～1/60s (16.677ms)
:PulseWidth7.222μs x n + 1μs (0 ≦n ≦2309)
: 1/60s shutter will be set when trigger over
16.677msisinput.
□The shortest input interval (Tact Time) is as follows.
60fps Trigger Shutter Mode (Pseudo-Reset Shutter) : Dummy Read Out Time
(16.033ms)+ShutterTime
60fps Pulse Width Trigger Shutter Mode (Pseudo-Reset Shutter) + Video Output Time
(Progressive:16.683ms)
□Trigger signals input prior to the completion of video output signals for the prior trigger shall be
ignored.
