Sony’s Next-Generation Smart Cameras for Machine
Vision and Surveillance Applications — Now in Color!
Sony is expanding its Smart Camera lineup with the introduction of four new cameras to its XCI Series –
offering users a choice of VGA or SXGA resolution in either monochrome or color.
The XCI-SX100/XP and XCI-SX100C/XP cameras are equipped with a 1/3-type progressive scan CCD that
achieves outstanding picture quality and high-resolution SXGA images (1280 x 960) at 30 fps. The XCI-V100/XP
and XCI-V100C/XP employs a 1/3-type progressive scan CCD that captures clear images in VGA resolution
(640 x 480) at a frame rate of up to 90 fps.
Compared to previous models, these smart cameras are equipped with enhanced processing power
(x86-compatible 1GHz,VIA Eden ULV), built-in Microsoft®Windows®XPe operating system, and a highly capable
512MB of SDRAM memory. They achieve high-speed processing with low power consumption, and also offer
high-speed network operation up to 1000Base-T. In addition, these unique cameras are equipped with various
interfaces, including: two USB 2.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet I/F to enable wideband transmission, monitor output,
serial interface (RS-232C), trigger input, and exposure output. They also employ Field-Programmable Gate Array
(FPGA) as an additional processing device, which enables easy customization for system designers via
programmable blocks.
And when applications call for precise color monitoring, the XCI-SX100C/XP and XCI-V100C/XP color cameras
are ideal. Combining high-quality image processing within the camera, direct data transfer via a network,
and the ability to control peripheral devices, these Smart Cameras offer a perfect solution for machine vision
applications.
They are also an excellent choice for high-end security monitoring of parking lots, shopping centers, and train
stations since they are equipped with several key surveillance features, including: support CS mount lenses,
mounted Auto Iris interface, AWB,AGC, and Wide-D images. Sony’s next-generation Smart Cameras are ideal for
traffic control, security, pharmaceutical, food and beverage inspection, as well as traditional machine vision
applications.

Microsoft Windows XP Embedded Support
Enables the cameras to integrate with a wide range of
machine vision systems and surveillance systems.
Excellent Picture Quality/High Frame Rates
XCI-SX100/SX100C: SXGA (1280 x 960) at 30 fps, ideal
for applications that require the capture of highly
detailed images.
XCI-V100/V100C: VGA (640 x 480) at 90 fps, perfect for
applications that require high-speed image capture.
C/CS mount lens
C/CS mount lens attachable to support both
machine vision and high-end security applications,
such as Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS).
Full Range of Pre-processing Functions
• Color-processing function enables the reproduction
of extremely detailed images*3
• Built-in real-time 5 x 5 image pre-processing filter
• Hardware LUT (Look Up Table)
*3Available only with XCI-SX100C/XP and XCI-V100C/XP
Customizable FPGA
(Field Programmable Gate Array)
All four camera models contain customizable space
in their FPGA block. This allows you to replace
part of the pre-installed area with your own
image-processing software, thereby increasing the
camera’s overall image-processing capability.
Dual Readout by Wide-D Technology
This function allows you to capture two images
at different shutter speeds. For machine vision
applications, you can obtain two different images
simultaneously and analyze them in separate ways
without changing the lighting. In addition, for security
applications, a composite image with a wide
dynamic range can be produced with software
image processing.
System Configurations
Watch Dog Timer (WDT)
This monitors software activity on the CPU and reboots
the hardware if problems occur.
Other Features
•External trigger shutter
• Vertical and horizontal partial scanning function
• Vertical and horizontal binning function
• Selectable power supply between 12V and 24V
• High shock and vibration resistance
