Overview
Overview
Ideal for high speed image processing, the XC-HR300
is a small black and white camera featuring a 1/2 type
progressive scan CCD. The XC-HR300 can capture
excellent quality images at high speeds. By doubling
the drive frequency of CCD, full frame SVGA images
can be obtained at 50 frames/s on 1 output (progressive
1N MODE) or 100 frames/s on 2 outputs (Interlaced 2I
MODE). Further speed increase up to four times can
be achieved by reducing the number of transmitted
lines (Partial images). In addition, excellent vibration
and shock characteristics make the camera also
suitable for Machine vision application.
Main Features
High image quality
The interline transfer CCD provides a high-resolution
image with 782 ×582 pixels.
Various mode settings
Rear panel switches allow the following mode settings.
• Gain: Fixed/Manual
• Synchronized input/output
• Read mode: 2I mode: 1/100 sec. (interlace) or 1N
mode: 1/50 sec. (non-interlace)
•75Ωtermination
• Shutter speed: Adjustable Partial scanning/Trigger
shutter
External synchronization
The camera module automatically determines whether
to operate in interlace or non-interlace mode from the
HD (horizontal drive) and VD (vertical drive) signals
input for external synchronization.
Internal sync signal output
You can output the HD and VD signals from the 12-
pin connector by changing the setting of the rear panel
switch.
External trigger shutter function (1/4 to
1/25000 sec.)
You can obtain a freeze picture by inputting an
external trigger. This function is useful for shooting a
fast-moving object clearly.
Body fixing
Mounting screw holes are provided in the reference
plane on the lower surface of the body, allowing
mounting with the absolute minimum deviation of the
optical axis.
The connector complies with the new EIAJ
12-pin pin assignment
The new pin arrangement allows the connector to
accept a trigger pulse and a WEN signal.
Partial scanning function
Reading frequency in the vertical direction has been
improved. The unit can capture partial images at up to
400 frames/sec in 2I mode or up to 200 frames/sec in
1N mode.

Mode Setting
External Trigger Shutter
By inputting an external trigger pulse, the camera is
able to capture fast-moving objects clearly.
Set the Restart reset/External Trigger Shutter mode
switch on the rear panel to Mode 1 or Mode 2.
When you set the trigger pulse width to 1/3 of a second
or more, the output signal changes to the normal
VIDEO signal.
There are two modes for timing in which a video
signal is obtained.
• Mode 1 (Non-reset mode)
In this mode, a video signal synchronized with a VD
signal is output after a trigger pulse is input.
–A video signal is synchronized with the external
VD signal when an external HD/VD signal is input.
–A video signal is synchronized with an internal VD
signal when no external HD/VD signal is input.
• Mode 2 (Reset mode)
In this mode, an internal VD is reset, then an internal
video signal is output after trigger pulse input after a
certain period of time.
For details of each timing chart, see pages 17 to 24.
Setting of the External Trigger

There are two ways to set the shutter speed.

Using trigger pulse width
Set all DIP switches (1 to 4 on the rear panel) to 0.
You can obtain an arbitrary shutter speed by setting the
trigger pulse width to the range of 2
µ sec to
250 msec.
Exposure time = Trigger pulse width + 31 µ sec
Note
If you input a new trigger pulse before the video signal
output for the previous trigger pulse is output
completely, an incorrect video signal will be output.

Mode Setting
Example of Usage of the Partial
Scanning Mode
Increase the frame rate by setting the shutter speed to
the trigger pulse width in external trigger modes 1 and
2, and then set the partial scanning mode adjustment
switch and the trigger frequency (as shown in the table
on the next page). The image is centered on as shown

–The above table shows an example values of the partial scanning mode. These values are measured by setting the trigger
pulse width to 100 µ s and the time interval between the trigger falling edge and the external VD falling edge to about 1H
(32 µ s). Mode 2 shows almost the same values as Mode 1. In this case, the trigger input affects the image output on about
the last 3 lines of the effective image interval.

a period of +10

the image is output for the next external VD falling
edge. (1in the figure shows that the image is
output for the next external VD. 2shows the

since output of the image and WEN make up a

output for the internal VD falling edge after the
trigger falling edge (1and 2in the figure). If the
period from the trigger falling edge to the internal
VD falling edge (T in the figure) is under 10
µ s,
there may be a delay of 1 VD in the output. (3in
the figure shows that the image is output for the
next internal VD). In this case, see WEN since the
image and WEN make up a pair. (The internal VD
falling edge and the beginning of the equivalent
pause in the V period of the SYNC have the same
phase.)
*6 Video out 2 is output only in the 2I mode.
Note
An image is not output correctly when the next trigger
is input before the image for the previous trigger is
output.

For setting the shutter speed using DIP switches
◆ HD/VD input
• Continuous VD input
*1 This is a signal input from outside. Make sure to
input both HD and VD signals.
*2 The exposure time (Te) is determined by the
setting of DIP switches.
For details, see Page 14.
*3 The normal operation state is carried out when the
trigger pulse width is 1/3 s or more. The trigger
falling edge restores the external trigger shutter
operation. In this case, the area between the falling
edge of a trigger pulse and the subsequent 50 ms
period is an external trigger input inhibition area.
There is no guarantee of operation for any triggers
input in this period.

*4 An image is output when an external VD signal
falls 10 ms or more after a trigger pulse rises (2
and 3in the figure). If the period from the trigger
rising edge to the external VD falling edge (T in
the figure) is under 10 ms, there may be a delay of
1 VD in the output. (1in the figure shows that the
image is output for the next external VD). In this
case, see WEN since the image and WEN make up
a pair.
*5 Video out 2 is output only in the 2I mode.
Note
An image is not output correctly when the next trigger
is input before the image for the previous trigger is
output.
