1. Product Description
Model CS3730DC is a one-piece-type (single-body) B/W CCD camera employing a 1/2 type
all-pixel-data readout CCD. This model has twice driving frequency of conventional models to
achieve fast-speed data-processing. The model is suited for high-speed, high-resolution image
processing use.
2. Features
(1) Double-speed scan
Model CS3730DC reads out image-data twice as fast as conventional CCD cameras do.
(2) All pixel's data readout
With all-pixel-data-readout CCD built in, CS3730DC readsout image-data in approximately
1/100 sec. Also fitted is frame-shutter, which reads out all data even under RTS mode.
(3) High vertical resolution
As all pixel's data are read out even under RTS (Random Trigger Shutter) mode (in
1/100 sec.), images with no deterioration in vertical resolution are obtained.
(4) Square grid pattern CCD
Pixel's in CCD are aligned in a square grid pattern. This makes it easier to perform computation
correctly for image processing use.
(5) External Sync.
The camera is switched over to external synchronization operation automatically when external
HD/VD signal is input.
(6) Random trigger shutter function
With a built-in RTS (Random Trigger Shutter), the camera’s CCD startslight-exposure in
synchronization with external trigger signals. This function enables the camera to capture
fast-moving subjects at constant position for precise image processing.
(7) Restart / Reset
Under the restart / reset mode, this model can capture images at an arbitrary timing cued by
external VD signal.
(8) Multiple shutter
With this shutter, this model capture images at an arbitrary timing cued by external trigger signal,
and then outputs video at an arbitrary timing cued by external VD signal.
(9) Partial-scan (Option)
Under the partial scan mode, only 1/2 or 1/4 screen center portion of image information is read
out, resulting in a faster operation.
lThe function/features noted as “option”or shown with the OPTION mark in this document is
available as optional function/feature (= Production on order) and not provided as standard
function. Please contact our sales staff for details.
lUnder standard version, partial-scan function is not available. (Normal mode only)
