XC-555/555P
Component / OEM
OUTLINE FEATURES
The XC-555/555P is an ultra-compact, integrated
1/2 type IT CCD color camera ideally suited for a
wide variety of applications such as machine
vision, multimedia and remote monitoring. The
XC-555/555P is designed so that a video output
signal can be obtained by only providing a power
supply of 12 V DC. Its ultra-compact, one-piece
design eliminates the need for a bulky CCU
(Camera Control Unit), allowing the XC-555/555P
cameras to be easily installed in space-restricted
areas. In addition, the XC-555/555P cameras use
a unique, compact NF mount lens system that can
be converted into a flexible C mount lens.
