Overview
Features 3
Overview
The XCL-5005CR/5005 is a digital video camera
module. This camera module outputs digital images
utilizing LVDS via the digital interface connector.
XCL-5005CR: Color digital video camera module
XCL-5005: Black and white digital video camera
module
Features
Digital interface connector
Equipped with a Camera Link standard small connector.
The XCL-5005CR/5005 can output a digital image at 15
frames per second.
Supports the camera link PoCL standard
The XCL-5005CR/5005 supports the PoCL (Power over
Camera Link) standard. By connecting a PoCL-
compatible camera link cable to a PoCL-compatible
camera module interface board, you can power, control,
and output images from the camera using a single cable.
This module is also provided with a DC IN connector
like that of the XCL-5000 to enable you to use a power
adaptor and a camera module interface board without
support for PoCL (non-PoCL) to operate the camera in
the same manner as previously.
High image quality
The XCL-5005CR/5005 has a progressive scan CCD of
5,000,000 pixels. Both cameras produce high-resolution
images. By adopting square pixels, images can be
processed using the original aspect ratio without a
converting procedure.
Various mode settings
Sending a command from the host device allows the
following mode settings.
•Gain
• Read mode: normal/binning (XCL-5005 only)
• Partial scan
• Shutter: Normal/Trigger shutter
• Shutter speed
• Gamma
• Switching an output Bit Length
• Switching an output tap
• White balance (XCL-5005CR only)
• Switching color output: RAW data/RGB data (XCL-
5005CR only)
• Edge detection, Edge enhancement (XCL-5005 only)
• Binarization (XCL-5005 only)
Electronic shutter function
Shutter speed can be selected from variety of available
speeds.
External trigger shutter function (2 to
1/10000 s)
You can obtain a still picture by inputting an external
trigger. This function is useful to shoot a fast-moving
object clearly.
Partial scan
The camera module can limit the number of the actual
video output lines to achieve high frame rates, enabling
high-speed image processing.
Body fixing
The screw holes to install the camera module are located
under the front panel (the CCD reference plane).
Installing the camera module on the front panel
minimizes deviation of the optical axis.
Gamma
You can switch to OFF or ON.
When you switch to ON, you can select from various
modes, and draw not only the default gamma line but
also an original gamma curve.
Switching an Output Bit Length
You can select 12 bit output, 10 bit output, or 8 bit
output.
Switching an Output Tap
You can select 1TAP output or 2TAP output.
When you select 2TAP output, the clock frequency for
data transfer becomes half, so you can extend the cable
length and use a camera module interface board with a
low clock frequency.
Switching color output (XCL-5005CR
only)
You can select RAW data output for outputting the
information of each pixel of the CCD unmodified and
RGB data output for outputting RGB data obtained by
processing signals within the camera to convert the
information to RGB data.
When RGB data output is selected, 2TAP output is
unavailable. The output bit length is limited to 8 bits.
Binning (XCL-5005 only)
By “binning” two pixels that align vertically, you can
acquire a frame rate twice as high as that in the normal
mode.
Edge detection, Edge enhancement
(XCL-5005 only)
Edge detection detects an edge from a picture, and
outputs an image made of the edge only.
Edge enhancement outputs a clear image emphasized on
the edge.

Overview
Typical CCD Phenomena
4
Binarization (XCL-5005 only)
Outputs an binarized image. Sensitivity can be changed.
Note
The CCD is driven at high speed during a Partial scan or
Binning operation. In this situation, if intense light is
input to the camera, the peripheral areas of the video
image may be affected. In such a situation, adjust the
amout of light using the iris.
Note
(XCL-5005CR only)
Some fading will occur with the color filter of the color
CCD after prolonged exposure to bright light. In
addition, some variation may occur in the spectral
sensitivity characteristics of the built-in infrared-cut
filter for reasons such as change over time. The above
factors may result in variation in coloring after extensive
use of the camera, but this does not indicate a
malfunction.
In such cases, simply readjust the white balance.
Typical CCD Phenomena
The following effects on the monitor screen are
characteristic of CCD cameras. They do not indicate any
fault with the camera module.
Smear
This occurs when shooting a very bright object such as
electric lighting, the sun, or a strong reflection.
This phenomenon is caused by an electric charge
induced by infrared radiation deep in the photosensor. It
appears as a vertical smear, since the CCD imaging
element uses an interline transfer system.
Vertical aliasing
When you shoot vertical stripes or lines, they may
appear jagged.
Blemishes
A CCD image sensor consists of an array of individual
sensor elements (pixels). A malfunctioning sensor
element will cause a single pixel blemish in the picture
(This is generally not a problem.).
White speckles
While CCD image pickup device is made by an accurate
technique, imperceptible speckless may rarely come up
on the screen due to cosmic rays and so on. This is
connected to the principle of CCD image pickup device,
not a malfunction. And the white speckless are easy to
come up in the following conditions.
• Using the camera in high temperature
• When turning up the gain
Level difference between left and right
As CCD used in this camera adopts the left-right 2 ch
output system, left half and right half of the image area
are output individually. Sometimes a level difference
may appear in the center of the window according to the
setting mode of the camera. This is not a malfunction.
Note
If strong light enters a wide area of the screen, the screen
may become dark. This is not a malfunction.
If this occurs, avoid strong light or adjust the lens iris to
reduce the light amount.

board
Install the board in a PCI bus slot in devices such as a computer. Select a commercially available interface
board compatible with the Camera Link feature. You can use either a board that supports PoCL, or one
that does not.
In the board corresponding to PCI 32 bit, the frame rate may become low according to lack of processing
capacity. When you want to make this product output 15 frames per second, use a board corresponding
to more than PCI 64 bit (PCI-X).
When you use XCL-5005CR with RGB data output, the frame rate may become low because of insufficient
processing capacity even if you use a PCI 64 bit compatible board. If you want to output 15 frames of
images every second, use a PCI Express board. Performance may also be dependent on the host device
(e.g., Computer), so consult the dealer if images are not displayed properly.
This cable connects to the digital interface connector on the rear panel of the camera module. Image/
control signals are transmitted via this cable.
If there is support for PoCL, power is also supplied at the same time. If you use a camera module interface
board with support for PoCL, be sure to use a camera link cable with support for PoCL. You can use a
single cable up to 7 meters long in the case of 1TAP output, and extend the cable length even further in
the case of 2TAP output. Select a proper cable as the maximum usable length of a cable differs due to the
attribute of each cable.
Spotted noise may appear in a specific brightness in the window according to the attribute of the cable. If
this noise is an obstacle, shorten the cable.

Functions
1. CCD loaded on XCL-5005CR/5005
The 5 million-pixel CCD mounted on XCL-5005CR/
5005 has two signal outputs-left and right two channels
output system CCD-in order to improve the frame rate.
There is a boundary of two imaging areas in the center.
The left and right images of each area are combined one
image by digital signal processing.
Each area of the two channels output system CCD has its
output amplifier. Even so, the boundary does not appear
in the center of the window when the left and right
signals are combined into one picture if the output
amplifier characteristic accord with each other. It is,
however, very difficult for the CCD manufacturing
technique to make two amplifier characteristics accord
completely, and the output levels of left and right may be
different. In this case, a boundary appears in the center
of the window due to the difference of the left and right
levels. XCL-5005CR/5005 has an automatic correction
function that automatically detects and corrects the
difference between the levels in order to make it
indistinguishable. The automatic correction function is
set to on in the factory setting. Otherwise you can cancel
the automatic correction function and set the correction
of left and right levels manually.
A step or a boundary may be seen in the center of the
window according to the camera setting mode. This is
not a malfunction. The boundary is especially easily
seen in the GainUp.

2. Compatibility with previous model XCL-5000
The XCL-5005CR/5005 is a model with upward
compatibility that is based on the XCL-5000 and
supports the PoCL standard. Control commands used on
the XCL-5000 can also be used in the same way on the
XCL-5005, as they are both black and white models. In
addition, commands that are shared across black and
white models and color models can be used in the same
way on the XCL-5005CR. This model has also been
enhanced with a variety of additional functions and
control commands.
However, you can still use a power adapter and a camera
module interface board without PoCL support (non-
PoCL) to operate the camera as previously.

3.4. Port assignment
The following table shows the assignment for the three
ports A, B, and C and each of the video signals (D1, D2,
and DR, DG, and DB when RGB 24 bits) of 1TAP/
2TAP, which is defined in the base configuration.
3.5. Output data size
Both the XCL-5005CR and XCL-5005 have an effective
output line number of 2448 × 2050 (horizontal/vertical),
and both output 2448 clocks for LVAL and 2050 lines
for FVAL.
The pixel count for image output on the XCL-5005CR
when set to RGB output mode is equivalent to the 2448
× 2050 effective line number mentioned above. When it
is set to RAW data output mode and depending on your
camera module interface board (frame grabber board),
one less pixel may be displayed around the outer
circumference after data processing, making the pixel
count for image output 2446 × 2048 (horizontal/
vertical).

4.1. Horizontal timing
The horizontal timing is common for all modes. The
XCL-5005CR/5005 are provided with a horizontal
partial scan function (HPARTIAL) that is capable of
changing the length of the Hi section of the LVAL signal.
Configuring the setting in increments of 4 columns from
128 columns to 2448 columns without changing the
center position of the effective video area of the
horizontal enables a reduction in the number of columns
imported on the host device (computer) side. The frame
rate does change even if HPARTIAL is set to ON.
Note
When HPARTIAL is set to ON, set the column number
for the effective video area.
Set the read column number to a multiple of 4 between
the range of 128 to 2448. An error will occur if the
configured column number is out of range or not a
multiple of 4.

4.2. Vertical timing
The vertical timing is common for the XCL-5005CR
and XCL-5005.
4.2.1. Normal mode
This mode is for outputting the individual video signals
of all pixels as continuous video at 15 frames per second.
4.2.2. Binning mode
This mode is for adding two vertical lines to read from
the CDD in order to almost double the frame rate. The
binning mode is not available for the XCL-5005CR.
Note
The camera cannot be operated with the binning mode
and the partial scan mode set to ON at the same time.

4.2.3. Partial scan mode
This mode increases the frame rate by dividing the
whole video period vertically, reading only the
necessary lines as the actual video, and transferring
unnecessary lines at high-speed. Set the read beginning
position (block number PSAH for high-speed
transferring) and read block number (normal
transferring block number or line number PSAF).
There are five types of partial scan mode.
In Modes 1 to 4 divide the actual video vertically into
any of approximately 16 or approximately 32 areas and
then reads them as the actual video. Mode 5 improves
the flexibility of area selection and allows for much
more detailed area settings to be configured.
Line number of actual video
For each of Mode 1 and Mode 3, Mode 2 and Mode 4,
the division numbers of approximately 16 and
approximately 32 are the same, but the beginning
positions of the actual video are different. Mode 1 and
Mode 2 are the same as the division settings on the XCL-
5000, but they cannot be selected on the XCL-5005CR.
Mode 3 and Mode 4 have common settings for the XCL-
5005 and XCL-5005CR. Mode 5 allows for detailed
setting of the actual video lines.
Partial scan offset
You can use partial scan offset (PARTIAL-OFFSET) to
offset the beginning position of the actual video output
in the normal transferring period in increments of 1 line.
To make the beginning position of the actual video
output the same as any that of any mode other than
partial scan, set PARTIAL-OFFSET=0.
To use Mode 1 of XCL-5005 with the same setting as
XCL-5000, set PARTIAL-OFFSET=38. The setting is
PARTIAL-OFFSET=38 at the time of shipment.
The setting range available for PARTIAL-OFFSET may
be different depending on the mode.
Beginning and ending position of the actual
video
In Modes 1 to 4, when the ending position of the actual
video is set by selecting a certain area and then a
different setting is configured so that the corresponding
point becomes the beginning point, both points may not
match. This is because the high-speed transferring
period cannot be partitioned in increments of 64 lines.
You can, however, make both points match if you use a
partial scan offset.

Note
If the area at the bottom part of the window is selected,
the video at the bottom may appear black. This is caused
by the optical black being displayed as a result of the
partial scan offset, and is not an indication of a
malfunction. Furthermore, the settings of partial scan
offset may be restricted depended on the mode and type
of camera.
In Modes 1 to 4, the line number A of the actual video,
vertical blanking period B, and frame rate are
determined by the normal transferring period PSAF.

Mode 5
You configure detailed settings of the read beginning
position and read line number. Set the read beginning
position in increments of 5 lines for the XCL-5005, and
in increments of 10 lines for the XCL-5005CR. Set the
read line number in increments of 1 line. Depending on
the camera module interface board (frame grabber
board) you are using, the pixels in the last line may not
display properly.
Use of this mode in combination with a partial scan
offset allows you to set the read beginning position and
read line number in increments of 1 line.
The line number A of the actual video, vertical blanking
period B, and frame rate are determined by the values of
the read line number PSAF and partial scan offset.
* PER = 432 + 0.8 × (PSAF + PARTIAL-OFFSET)
Set the PARTIAL-OFFSET and read line number PSAF
