For Demanding Applications That
Require High Frame Rates and
High Resolution, Choose Sony's
XC-HR Series of Progressive Scan
Cameras
Joining Sony's popular XC-HR Camera Series is the new
high-speed/high-resolution XC-HR90. This new camera
incorporates a 1/3“ Progressive Scan IT CCD with SXGA
resolution of 1280 x 960 pixels at a selectable frame rate
of 30 or 15 full frames per second (fps). The XC-HR90
achieves high-rate scanning up to 204.8 fps with 60
effective lines, selectable from 16 vertical divisions.
Camera settings can be made via the camera’s RS-232C
interface (12-pin connector).
Sony's complete line-up of high speed cameras include
the XC-HR50, XC-HR57, XC-HR58, and XC-HR70. All of these
cameras feature the same compact body enabling them to
be easily interchanged to meet your various application
requirements and are ideal for space restricted areas.
The XC-HR57 and XC-HR58 cameras both incorporate
a 1/2“ Progressive Scan IT CCD. The XC-HR57 features
VGA resolution of 648 x 494 pixels at 60 full fps, and
the XC-HR58 features SVGA resolution of 767 x 580
pixels at 50 full fps. Both the XC-HR50 and XC-HR70
cameras incorporate a 1/3“ Progressive Scan IT CCD.
The XC-HR50 features VGA resolution of 648 x 494 pixels
at 60 full fps, and the XC-HR70 provides XGA resolution
of 1024 x 768 pixels at 30 full fps.
In addition, the XC-HR camera series has a high-rate
scanning function that increases their vertical scanning
frequency so that images can be captured from
120 to 240 fps depending on the camera model.
Combining high-resolution and high-speed image
capture capabilities in a compact, robust body, Sony's
XC-HR Camera Series are ideal for demanding
applications such as semiconductor production and
high-speed assembly lines.
COMMON FEATURES
High-Resolution Image Capturing
High-Rate Scanning
Synchronization: Internal/External (HD/VD)
Vertical Binning Function
By combining the image data of every two lines
vertically, these cameras can increase the frame
rate, which minimizes image processing time.
External Trigger Shutter
Allows accurate image capture of fast-moving objects
through shutter speeds of 1/4 to 1/100,000 sec.
High Shock and Vibration Tolerance
RoHS Compliance
Compact, Lightweight Body
