XCD-MV6
Miniature Digital Video Camera
Sony continues to expand its popular XCD
IEEE1394b series with the latest introduction of
its ultra-compact and lightweight, monochrome
camera - the XCD-MV6. This new progressive
scan camera incorporates a 1/3-type wide VGA
global shutter CMOS sensor and is one of the
smallest IEEE1394b cameras available on the
market.
The XCD-MV6 measures just 19 mm (3/4 inch)
in depth and weighs only 37 grams.
Combining high-quality images with a
miniaturized body, the XCD-MV6 is ideally suited
for space-restricted machine vision and robotic
applications.
KEY FEATURES
l Ultra-compact body measuring 1-3/16 x 1-3/16 x 3/4
inches (29 x 29 x 19 mm) - less than two thirds the size of
Sony’s conventional video cameras
l IEEE1394b Digital Interface - For accurate data transfer
l IEEE1394b S1600 Compliant - High data transfer rate
(up to 1600 Mbps)
l Broadcast Delivery Function - Enables the sending of
commands (e.g. software trigger and adjusting camera
settings) when used in a multiple camera system.
l IIDC Ver. 1.32 Compliant
l Various image correction functions:
• Defective pixel correction
• Fixed pattern noise correction
• Shading correction
l Temporary Image storage function allows for later
transmission (Max. 100 frames)
l Partial Scan functions
l High shock and vibration resistance
Shading correction OFF Shading correction ON
Up to ±25% luminance difference can be corrected by shading correction
function.
