Incase there is an ground electric potential difference, the camera may bedamaged.1 Power supply unit 2 Abnormal electricity3 Ground electric potencial difference 4 MonitorNotes on OperationPower supplyThe camera operates on +12V DC. Use a stable power source free fromripple or noise.Foreign bodiesBe careful not to spill liquids, or drop any flammable or metal objects in thecamera body.Heat radiationDo not wrap the camera in cloth or other material while in operation. Thereis a danger of overheating.Locations for operation and storageAvoid operation or storage in the following places.• Extremely hot or cold locations. Recommended temperature range is 0°Cto 40°C. (32°F to 104°F)• Humid or dusty locations• Locations exposed to rain• Locations subject to strong vibration• Near generators of strong electromagnetic radiation such as TV or radiotransmitters.CareUse a blower to remove dust from the surface of the lens or optical filter.Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth.If the camera is very grimy, apply a cloth soaked in a mild detergent thenwipe with a dry cloth. Do not apply organic solvents such as alcohol orbenzine which may damage the finish.OverviewBefore operating the unit, please read this manual thoroughly and retain forfuture reference.The XC-ES/EI series is a monochrome video camera module using aninterline transfer CCD (Charge Coupled Device) solid state image sensor.High image qualityThe interline transfer CCD provides a high-resolution image with 768 × 494pixels (XC-ES50/ES30/EI50/EI30) or 752 × 582 pixels (XC-ES50CE/ES30CE/EI50CE/EI30CE).Various mode settingsRear panel switches allow the following mode settings.• Gain: Auto/Manual• γ compensation• Synchronized input/output• Potential accumulation: FRAME/FIELD• 75Ω termination• Shutter speed: Normal/Trigger shutterExternal synchronizationHD (horizontal drive), VD (vertical drive) signals: The camera moduleautomatically determines whether to operate in interlace or noninterlacemode from the HD and VD signals input for external synchronization.Internal sync signal outputYou can output the HD and VD signals from the 12-pin connector bychanging the rear panel switch.Electronic shutter functionShutter speed can be selected from a wide range (1/125 to 1/10000 sec.) orin flickerless (FL) mode.Body fixingThe screw holes to install the camera module are located under the frontpanel (the CCD reference plane). Installing the camera module on the frontpanel minimizes deviation of the optical axis.The connector complies with the new EIAJ 12-pinassignmentThe new pin arrangement allows the connector to accept a trigger pulse anda WEN signal.System Components Fig. BThe CCD Black-and-White Video Camera Module XC-ES/EI series systemcomprises the following optional products (available separately).1 CCD Black-and-White Video Camera ModuleThis is a small-size, high-resolution, monochrome video camera moduleusing an interline transfer CCD image sensor.2 CCXC-12P02N (2m, 6.6ft)/05N (5m, 16.4ft)/10N (10m, 32.8ft)/25N(25m, 82ft) camera cableThis is attached to the DC IN/SYNC connector of the camera module and isused for power supply, transmission of video signals, and exchange of syncsignals.3 C-mount lens (For visible light)Recommended lens: VCL-08YM/12YM/16Y-M/25Y-M/50Y-M4 DC-700/700CE camera adaptorThis is connected to the camera module to enable power supply fromordinary AC power source, and also handles transmission of video signalsfrom the camera module and exchange of sync signals between the cameramodule and an external sync signal generator.5 VCT-333I tripod adaptorThis attaches to the bottom of the camera module to fix the camera moduleto a tripod.Connection example Fig. CConnecting DC-700/700CE (not supplied)Connect the camera module to the power via the camera adaptor DC-700/700CE.For details on the camera adaptor DC-700/700CE, see the DC-700/700CEInstruction Manual.1 Monitor 1 DC IN/SYNC connector2 C-mount lens (e.g. VCL-16Y-M) 2 To VIDEO 1 connector3 75-ohm coaxial cable 3 To CAMERA connector4 Camera cable (e.g. CCXC-12P05N) 4 To AC IN connector5 TRIG generator, Image processor 5 To AC power source6 Sync signal generator 6 To HD connector7 To VD/SYNC connector8 HD output9 VD outputLocation and Function of Parts and OperationFront/Top/Bottom Fig. D1 Lens mount (C-mount)Attach any C-mount lens or other optical equipment.NoteThe lens must not project more than 7 mm (9/32 inch) from the lens mount.1 Lens mount face 2 7 mm (9/32 inch) or less2 Reference holes (Top)3 Reference holes/Tripod screw holes (bottom)These precision screw holes are for locking the camera module. Locking thecamera module into these holes secures the optical axis alignment.For details on dimensions, etc., see “About the User’s Guide” on the lower right of theback side.You can install the camera on a tripod.
