1. Scope of Application
This is to describe VCC-FC20U19PCL, high-speed Color 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 +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.
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 typeapter 7, “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 avoid noises like chattering when rising.
In case of abnormal operation, contact the distributor from whom you purchased the product.

3. Notes on Partial Scan Mode Operation
At vertical partial scan mode, the smaller the set reading out lines, the faster the camera exposure and
output operation will be. And, at the same time, power consumption will be increased.
Power consumption when the minimum partial scan line number is set will be approx. 2.6W, while it will be
approx. 1.7W at full frame scan. That is about 1.5 times higher. With higher power consumption, heat
will be increased as well.
We recommend promoting heat dissipation when installing our camera to your system, especially when
reading out line is set between the ranges of 50lines to 1line.
For instance, installing the camera to the place under 40 degrees C ambient temperature, or installing the
camera to a metalic part, would be effective.
4. Product Outline
VCC-FC20U19PCL is an industrial Color high-speed digital video camera module utilizing a global shutter
type, 2/3 type 2M pixels CMOS sensor. Interface of VCC-FC20U19PCL complies with power over camera
link (Base Configuration) with its resolution 2.2M pixels. Entire pixels can be read out within approx.
1/70s.
Key Features
□High frame rate, 70.73fps, at full frame scan mode with Camera Link Base Configuration.
Frame rate = (pixel clock) / (((horizontal output pixels/output tap number)
+ Horizontal Blanking) ×(Vertical Output Lines + Vertical Blanking))
= (79.99MHｚ) / (((2050/2) +5)×(1088+10))
= 70.73fps
□29mm cubic in size (excluding projection).
□PoCL 2Tap output (Base Configuration)
□RAW data output 8bit / 10bit selectable
□External Trigger
□Shutter Speed: 1/70s ～1/50,000s

8.2.2 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 CLK Sync. HV-Sync Reset. The delay time (Exposure Time Delay) from detecting
trigger edge in the camera to starting exposure is approx. 330ns.
□Triggers can be accepted even when outputting video signals. However, trigger signals for exposure
to start the next video output prior to the completion of video transmission for the prior video output
signals cannot be accepted.
If the edge part of trigger signals is overlapped with video outputting period, 1 line noise may be
detected on the video output screen. To input trigger signals during video output period, set the data
003 to the address 014 (Trigger input signal, camera internal H sync ON). External trigger signals are
synchronized with camera internal H signals so that max. 1HD jitter to Exposure Time delay would
occur.
□When changing the camera to fixed trigger shutter mode, the first output image can be unstable.
Please input the first trigger as a dummy to ignore and take the second and after as the actual triggers.
※Video output signal delays by 2H from Exposure Time.

8.2.3 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 CLK Sync. HV-Sync Reset. The delay time (Exposure Time Delay) from detecting
trigger edge in the camera to starting exposure is approx. 330ns. And, the delay time from detecting
trigger end edge to completing exposure is approx. 270ns.
□Pulse width is min. 1HD to approx. 2 frames. Functionally, there is no upper limitation, but noises
such as dark noises and shadings may be noticeable at long time exposure.
□Triggers can be accepted even when outputting video signals. However, trigger signals for exposure
to start the next video output prior to the completion of video transmission for the prior video output
signals cannot be accepted.
If the edge part of trigger signals is overlapped with video outputting period, 1 line noise may be
detected on the video output screen. To input trigger signals during video output period, set the data
003 to the address 014 (Trigger input signal, camera internal H sync ON). External trigger signals are
synchronized with camera internal H signals so that max. 1HD jitter to Exposure Time delay would
occur.
□When changing the camera to pulse width trigger shutter mode, the first output image can be unstable.
Please input the first trigger as a dummy to ignore and take the second and after as the actual triggers.
※Video output signal delays by 2H from Exposure Time.

・The max value of horizontl partial scan starting position is limited with the formula below since output pixel number has priority.
The max value of horizontal partial scan starting position =2048 (sensor effective pixels) –output pixel number
Output pixel number = 640 + (horizontal partial scan output pixel set value x 10)
(Ex.) When 10 is set as horizontal partial scan output pixel number, the max value of horizontal partial scan starting position will
be 2048 –(640 + 10 x10) = 1308.
If horizontal partial scan starting position is set to 1318 with this time, output pixel number has priority so that horizontal
partial scan starting position shall be limited to 1308.

・The max value of vertical partial scan starting position is limited with the formula below since vertical partial scan output
line has priority.
The max value of vertical partial scan starting position
=1088(The max value of vertical partial scan output line) –Vertical partial scan output lines
(Ex.) When 480 is set as vertical partial scan output lines, the max value of vertical partial scan starting position will be
1088-480= 608.
If vertical partial scan starting position is set to 618 with this time, vertical partial scan output line has priority so that
vertical partial scan starting position shall be limited to 608.
※At manual partial scan mode, manual shutter value to be set shall meet the following conditions.
The set manual shutter lines ≦Vertical partial scan output lines
If the condition above is not met, shutter lines to be set will be the same number as vertical partial scan output lines.
