Overview
The XCI-SX1/V3 is a monochrome intelligent camera
that can capture and process pictures, and control
peripheral devices by itself.
Partial scan
The camera module can limit the effective video
output area to achieve high frame rates, enabling high-
speed image processing.
Features
Binning
By binning two pixels that align vertically or
horizontally, you can acquire a frame rate twice that of
the normal mode vertically, and sensitivity twice that
of normal mode horizontally.
High image quality
The XCI-SX1 (SXGA) has a progressive scan CCD of
1,450,000 pixels. The XCI-V3 (VGA) has a
progressive scan CCD of 330,000 pixels. This camera
produces high-resolution images. By adopting square
pixels, images can be processed using the original
aspect ratio without a converting procedure.
Built-in processor
• x86 CPU
• 256MB DDR-SDRAM
• 128MB Compact Flash
Various mode settings
You can adjust the following mode settings.
• Gain
PC standard input/output interface
• Read mode: normal /binning
• Partial scan
• Shutter: Normal/Trigger shutter
• Shutter speed
• LAN connector
• VGA monitor output
• USB connector
• LUT
• 3 × 3 filter (XCI-V3 only)
Body fixing
Four screw holes to be used to install the camera are
provided both on the top and the bottom of the camera.
Installing the camera module on the front panel
minimizes deviation of the optical axis.
Electronic shutter function
Shutter speed can be selected from variety of available
speeds.
Tripod hole
External trigger shutter function (2 to
1/50000 sec.)
You can mount the camera on a tripod by using this
hole.
You can obtain a freeze picture by inputting an
external trigger. This function is useful to shoot a fast-
moving object clearly.

The amplitude level is the measure of central tendency
terminated with 10 kΩ.
To output images at a higher frame rate
Normal mode
This mode can be set on the SHUTTER screen in the
GUI application for camera settings.
For the XCI-SX1, output of all individual video signals
[1280 (H) × 1024 (V)] is at 15 frames per second as
continuous video.
4.0 – 4.5 V
0 V
This value depends on
the shutter settings.
For the XCI-V3, output of all individual video signals
[640 (H) × 480 (V)] is at 60 frames per second as
continuous video.
Continuous normal images can be captured in this
mode.
When you set the shutter speed higher, you can capture
the high-speed movement of objects with vivid clarity.

Functions
Trigger mode
Binning mode
This mode can be set on the SHUTTER screen in the
GUI application for camera settings.
This mode can be set on the HIGH RATE SCAN
screen in the GUI application for camera settings.
This mode is used to increase the frame rate and/or
sensitivity by adding pixels in both vertical and
horizontal directions.
In this mode video signals begin to accumulate by
synchronizing with external trigger input. The video
signals are output after the exposure is finished.
The high-speed movement of objects can be captured
with vivid clarity in this mode.
Select one of the following modes depending on the
binning method.
Set the shutter speed in accordance with the recording
conditions.
• 1 × 2 (V-binning) mode
In this mode the frame rate almost doubles and the
data volume becomes half by adding two vertical
lines.
When the shutter speed is set, the sensitivity almost
doubles.
Select the shutter speed from the following:
[2, 1, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 1/100, 1/120, 1/250, 1/500, 1/
1000, 1/2000, 1/4000, 1/10000, 1/25000, 1/50000,
Trigger Width] (sec)
For the XCI-SX1, the output data size becomes
1280 (H) × 512 (V).
When selecting Trigger Width
For the XCI-V3, the output data size becomes
640 (H) × 240 (V).
The mode is set to trigger pulse width detection mode.
The following is the formula for the shutter speed T[s]:
XCI-SX1: T[s] = Trigger width + 6µs
• 2 × 1 (H-binning) mode
In this mode the sensitivity almost doubles and the
data volume becomes half by adding two horizontal
pixels.
XCI-V3: T[s] = Trigger width + 5µs
As the horizontal synchronization signal frequency is
the same as when in normal mode, the frame rate
doesn’t change.
You can also set the following on the SHUTTER
screen in the GUI application for camera settings:
For the XCI-SX1, the output data size becomes
640 (H) × 1024 (V).
For the XCI-V3, the output data size becomes 320(H)
× 480 (V).
• 2 × 2 (HV-binning) mode
• Trigger polarity
This is set to select a trigger input polarity for the
camera.
• Trigger delay function
In this mode the frame rate and sensitivity almost
double and the data volume becomes 1/4 by adding
two vertical lines and two horizontal pixels.
Moreover, when the shutter speed is set, the
sensitivity almost doubles again.
For the XCI-SX1, the output data size becomes
640 (H) × 512 (V).
This function is to delay trigger input to this unit, so
the exposure start time can be delayed until the set
time.
You can fine adjust the capture timing without
changing the camera position even after the camera is
installed.
For the XCI-V3, the output data size becomes
320 (H) × 240 (V).
Trigger delay setting range:
[0 to 4 (sec)] (In units of 1ms)
• Software trigger function
A trigger is generated within this unit to capture a
still image at any timing.

Functions
Partial scan mode
This mode can be set using the HIGH RATE SCAN
screen in the GUI application for camera settings.
In this mode, the desired rectangle area is read out, and
the redundant image area is transmitted at high speed
to raise the frame rate. The read out area can be set
separately as an effective image area vertically and
horizontally. For the XCI-SX1, the effective image
area is vertically divided into 32 areas and horizontally
divided into 10 areas. You can select a specific portion
among those from 1 block to 32 blocks vertically in
units of one block separately or succesively, and 3
blocks to 10 blocks horizontally in minimum units of
successive 3 blocks. For the XCI-V3, the effective area
is vertically divided into 16 areas and horizontally
divided into 10 areas. You can select a specific portion
among those from 1 block to 16 blocks vertically.
Partial scan can be individually set in a horizontal or
vertical direction.
The tables below show approximate frame rate values
when the partial scan mode is used.
