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.
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
Main Features
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.
High image quality
The interline transfer CCD provides a high-resolution
image with 782 × 582 pixels.
The connector complies with the new EIAJ
12-pin pin assignment
Various mode settings
The new pin arrangement allows the connector to
accept a trigger pulse and a WEN signal.
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)
• 75Ω termination
• Shutter speed: Adjustable Partial scanning/Trigger
shutter
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.
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.

Restart/Reset
To set Restart/Reset mode
The information on one screen can be extracted at any
time by externally inputting a restart/reset signal (HD/
VD). To enter this mode, set the Restart reset/ External
trigger shutter mode switch on the rear panel of the
camera as shown in the figure below. The setting is
especially effective for the following operation.
Long exposure
A highly-sensitive image is obtained by extending the
exposure time of the CCD when satisfactory sensitivity
cannot be obtained under other operating conditions.
Extend the VD interval (T) period between external
VD pulses.

Mode Setting
Using trigger pulse width
ExternalTrigger Shutter
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 µsec to
250 msec.
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.
Mode 1 (Non-reset mode)
Mode 2 (Reset mode)
There are two modes for timing in which a video
signal is obtained.
• Mode 1 (Non-reset mode)
Exposure time = Trigger pulse width + 31 µsec
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)
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.
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.

*1 This is a signal input from outside.
*5 In the external trigger operation, the image is
output for the internal VD falling edge after the
trigger falling edge (1 and 2 in the figure). If the
period from the trigger falling edge to the internal
VD falling edge (T in the figure) is under 10 µs,
there may be a delay of 1 VD in the output. (3 in
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.)
*2 Exposure time (Te)
Te = Trigger pulse width + 31 µsec (EIA)
(The effective trigger pulse width for the external
trigger shutter operation is between 2 µs and 1/4 s.)
*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.
*6 Video out 2 is output only in the 2I mode.
Note
*4 The internal VD signals are output as long as there is
no external input and the HD/VD signal I/O switch
on the rear panel is set to INT.
An image is not output correctly when the next trigger
is input before the image for the previous trigger is
output.

falls 10 ms or more after a trigger pulse rises (2
and 3 in 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. (1 in 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
