the cameras, or exposure starts on all the cameras
simultaneously using a software trigger.
Overview
The six models of the XCD-series digital camera
modules (Black and white models and RAW color
models) employing the IEEE1394b-2002 standard are
equipped with quality digital camera features.
Although it is compact, the camera allows high-speed
image transfer and daisy chain connection with two
IEEE1394b connectors. The camera also has versatile
features such as hardware preprocessing in the camera
that reduces the load of image processing in a PC, bus
synchronization, and broadcast delivery of commands.
The XCD-series digital output cameras conforming to
the IIDC 1.31 protocol take full advantages of
IEEE1394 capabilities.
Memory channel
The memory channel allows storage of up to 15 sets of
camera settings such as gain and shutter.
Bulk trigger mode
The Bulk trigger mode allows output of multiple images
with a shot of a trigger signal. Each image is shot with
the camera settings stored in the memory channel. Up to
15 image settings are possible.
Memory Shot
The image exposed from the sensor is stored in the
camera’s built-in memory. The stored image can be read
out using a command from the host PC when required.

Partial scan
Daisy chain connection
Partial scan clips a required angle of view (area) from
the entire screen to be read out. As a part of the image is
read out, the unit takes advantage of reduced image data
and high-speed transfer. The minimum clipping unit is
32 pixels × 24 lines.
The camera is equipped with two IEEE1394b
connectors that support connection of multiple cameras.
As the power can be supplied from a 12-pin connector
(EIAJ), the camera achieves daisy chain connection
without limitation of power supply capacity so that a
simple image processing system with multiple cameras
can be developed.
Binning
Binning increases the sensitivity and frame rate based on
mixing the pixel data.
Hardware preprocessing
The camera is equipped with hardware LUT (Lookup
Table).
9-pin connector with fixing screws
The black and white models are also equipped with 3 ×
3 pixel matrix operation.
Low power consumption, vibration-
resistant structure, and compact size
Bus synchronization
IIDC Ver.1.31 protocol compliant
The cameras connected to the same bus automatically
operate in synchronization with the 1394 bus, without
using an external sync signal. The exposure timing on
multiple cameras is synchronized correctly via the
IEEE1394b cable only.
Broadcast delivery of commands
The camera settings for all the cameras connected to the
same bus can be changed at the same time. For example,
the gain or shutter speed is set to the same value on all

Gain
2
Both Manual and Auto Gain settings are available with
this camera.
The variable range extends from 0 to 24 dB for the black
and white models or from 0 to 18 dB for the color
models. The camera is designed so that the gain can be
subdivided and set by 0.0359 dB.
1 s
1
At the factory default setting, the gain is set to 0 dB.
When Auto Gain is selected, the gain is adjusted
automatically, based on the brightness of the subject. At
this time, the reference level (target point) is set in the
AutoExposure register.
10 µs

1000 1150
When Auto Shutter is selected, the exposure time is
adjusted automatically, based on the brightness of the
subject. At this time, the reference level (target point) is
set in the AutoExposure register.
For details on AutoExposure, see “Auto Exposure” on
Shutter
For long exposure times
When the exposure time is longer than the frame period,
the camera enters the long exposure time mode, and the
actual frame rate is reduced in accordance with the
exposure time.
This camera allows both Manual and Auto Shutter
settings.
The variable range extends from 10 microseconds to
16.0 seconds; relative values are indicated by a 12-bit
integer, and absolute values are indicated using a 32-bit
floating point value.
Absolute Value Control
for the Shutter
The relationship between the parameter and the
exposure time is given by the following formulas,
where:
P = Parameter (003h to 47Eh)
E = Exposure time (s)
This camera allows control of exposure time using
absolute values. The values are indicated using a 32-bit
floating point value. (Unit: sec.)
The variable range of absolute values extends from 10
microseconds to 16.0 seconds.
If P= 3
E = 0.00001
If 4 <= P <= 1000
Programming example
union
{
1
DWORD dwValue; // 1394 is expressed in quadlets,
float fValue; // exposure time is indicated in seconds.
} AbsoluteShutterValue;
If 1000 <= P <= 1150
AbsoluteShutterValue.fValue = Exposure time;
WriteQuad(AbsoluteShutterOffsetAddress,
AbsoluteShutterValue.dwValue);
Setting examples
3 (003h) : 10 µs (1/100000)
32 (020h) : 1 ms (1/1000)
100 (064h) : 10 ms (1/100)
1000 (3E8h) : 1 s
1010 (3F2h) : 2 s
1150 (47Eh) : 16 s
WriteQuad is a virtual function used to write in the 1394
register.
AbsoluteShutterOffsetAddress is an offset address for
the absolute value control.
See “ConfigurationROM” on page 17 for the formula
for the offset address.

Auto Exposure
Lookup Table
AutoExposure is a function that automatically adjusts
the gain and shutter settings, based on the brightness of
the subject. When the gain or shutter is set to Auto, the
brightness is adjusted automatically to the value
specified with AutoExposure.
The lookup table of this camera consists of 1,024 tables
with10-bit input and 10-bit output.
The lookup table allows setting of an arbitrary gamma
curve or binary segmentation.
3 × 3 Image Filter
Gamma
For black and white models only, simple image
processing using the 3 x 3 image filter is possible on
hardware.
This camera uses the gamma function to select the
lookup table.
0: Linear
0: Filter OFF
1: Reverse
1: Sharpness enabled
2: Equivalent of Gamma = 0.70
3: User setting
2: Horizontal edge detection (Type 1)
3: Vertical edge detection (Type 1)
4: Horizontal edge detection (Type 2)
5: Vertical edge detection (Type 2)
6: Edge emphasis (Type 1)
To set an arbitrary gamma curve, prestore the setting
values in the lookup table (EEPROM) of the camera.
7: Edge emphasis (Type 2)
8: User setting
Note
Sharpness is disabled when the 3 × 3 image filter is set
to 0, or 2 to 8.

Trigger
Trigger
Trigger shutter is useful for capturing images in
response to a trigger that starts the exposure to match a
preset timing. It can also be used to capture an image
using multiple cameras with the same timing.
When a trigger shutter is used, the required trigger is
input via the 12-pin connector on the rear panel. The
input signal is a 5 to 24 V negative pulse.
As the input connector is pulled inside of the camera, the
camera can receive a trigger only by short-circuiting the
input pin and ISO (GND) pin.

Setting in Memory
channel 1
This camera supports four trigger modes: 0, 1, 14 and
15.
As this camera is equipped with 15 memory channels, a
repeat pattern of up to 15 image shootings can be set for
trigger mode 14 or 15.
High level: 5 to 24 V DC
The number of the repeat patterns to be set in one cycle
can be determined by the parameter of the trigger mode.
Memory channel 0 is not used for the Bulk trigger mode
and the Sequential trigger mode.
Low level: 0 to 0.44 V DC
0 V DC
The following features are loaded from the memory to
be set for shooting:
– Brightness
– Sharpness
– Saturation
– White balance
– Hue
Trigger mode 0
Trigger mode 0 starts exposure by detecting the falling
edge of a trigger signal. The exposure time is determined
by the shutter parameter.

Exposure
Note that the Auto mode of White Balance, Shutter and
Gain cannot be set.
Also note that Pan/Tilt is set only when the current video
mode is the same as the video mode selected when the
setting has been stored in the memory channel.
Trigger mode 1
Trigger mode 1 controls the exposure time using the
width of the trigger signal pulse. When trigger mode 1 is
used, there is actually no limit to the exposure time.
Trigger
This camera can also be used with a software trigger that
issues the trigger signal via software command. Trigger
modes 0, 1, 14 and 15 can be used with software
triggers.
Exposure
Trigger mode 14 (Bulk trigger mode)
Trigger mode 14 allows shooting of multiple images
with different camera settings using only one trigger
signal. The camera settings should be prestored in
memory channels.
10
Pan/Tilt
Hue (Color models only)
Pan/Tilt is a function used to move a camera up and
down or left and right. However this camera supports a
video mode much smaller than the CCD’s effective
pixels by cutting out images from the whole screen. You
can specify the portion to be cut out using Pan/Tilt
commands.
When the white balance cannot be obtained with the R
and B level adjustment, you can change the G level by
hue adjustment. Normally use the default hue setting.
Trigger Delay
The variable range differs according to the selected
video mode.
Issue of a trigger signal can be delayed from the external
trigger inside the camera.
This delay adjustment is useful to get an appropriate
shooting timing when the position of the subject is not
good at a regular trigger timing.
When a video mode is changed, the pan/tilt values are
set to the default setting.
Brightness
GPIO
This feature controls the black level of a video image.
A general-purpose I/O port with a 2-bit output and 2-bit
input is assigned in the 12-pin connector.
This port is used for reading information of external
switches and sensors from the camera and controlling
external devices.
Sharpness (Black and
white models only)
The output terminal is of the open-collector type and
should be pulled outside of the camera (5 to 24 V).
This feature controls the image quality.
A smaller value makes the image softer, and a larger
value makes it sharper.
The Sharpness feature cannot be used together with the
3 × 3 filter.
Note on input
Connect to ISO (GND) using an input device with a
minimum signal width of 0.5 msec and an input current
of 0.5 mA or more.
Note on output
Saturation (Color
models only)
Use the following conditions:
Recommended pull-up resistor: 4.7 kΩ
Recommended pull-up voltage: 5 V
Minimum signal width: 0.5 msec
This feature controls the color density.
The camera is equipped with a protective resistor of 220
Ω. If the above conditions prove difficult in use, check
the output voltage and determine the external pull-up
resistor.
White Balance (Color
models only)
This feature controls the white balance by setting the R
and B levels relative to the G level.
The camera also supports the Auto white balance by
which the camera automatically adjusts the white
balance.
11
Strobe Control
Test Charts
A strobe control signal is assigned in the 12-pin
connector. This allows direct command of light-
emission from the strobe connected to the camera and
controls the light-emission timing and the signal width.
The output terminal is of the open-collector type and
should be pulled at the strobe side. A strobe that emits
light by short-circuiting the input to ground can be
connected to the camera directly.
A color bar chart (for color models only) and a gray
scale chart can be output.
Changing Bayer
Patterns (Color models
only)
Llight-emission
timing
The color models of this camera series output raw data.
For these models, the correct color reproduction is not
obtained if the Bayer pattern in the application software
does not match that in the camera. The output pattern
can be set at the camera if the application is not equipped
with the pattern setting.

Trigger Inhibition
Note
At the factory default setting, this camera accepts trigger
input quickly and no triggers are inhibited.
If the camera is used under noisy conditions with this
setting, noise may enter before a trigger input is
accepted, causing image disturbance.
If the trigger inhibition is enabled in such a condition,
the camera does not accept a new trigger until the image
output is completed and achieves stable operation.
Use the following conditions:
Recommended pull-up resistor: 4.7 kΩ
Recommended pull-up voltage: 5 V
The camera is equipped with a protective resistor of 220
Ω. If the above conditions prove difficult in use, check
the output voltage and determine the external pull-up
resistor. The camera is capable of outputting a signal of
about 10 microsecond width, although the rise time
depends on the pull-up resistor.
With the trigger inhibition enabled, however, exposure
cannot be performed during image output.
Consequently, an acceptable trigger cycle becomes
longer according to the exposure time.
For example, when exposure is set to 1/30 s in 30 fps
mode, the trigger cycle becomes almost double, that is,
equivalent to 15 fps.
Setting AE/AWB Control
Frame and Parameters
The detection frame for Auto Exposure and Auto White
Balance can be set.
Determine the detection frame in percentage units
taking the width and height of the output image as 100
%.
User Free Memory
This camera is equipped with a 256-byte memory space
so the user can write and read data freely.
The written data is retained after the power is turned off.
For example, the user can name the camera and note the
installation conditions using this memory space.
The memory content is retained even if the camera
initialization is performed.
The control speeds for Auto Exposure and Auto White
Balance can also be set. Raise or lower the response
speed for each application respectively.
For Auto Exposure, the restart conditions can also be
set, that is the conditions once Auto Exposure
adjustment has concluded and after the gain and shutter
changes have been restored to a stable state, and a new
change in video image becomes visible.
In the Auto Exposure or Auto White Balance parameter
setting mode, the set frame is highlighted on the video
image.
12
Memory Shot
1394 Bus
Synchronization
The camera is equipped with Memory Shot that
temporarily stores an image in the frame memory inside
the camera and transfers it later.
Timing used to start exposure is synchronized with the
1394 bus time cycle register.
If cameras are connected to the same bus, they are
automatically synchronized in a 1394 bus operation. As
800 Mbps band restriction can affect the
synchronization, you must set the video mode in which
the cameras can transmit a video signal at the same time.
1394 synchronization does not work in long exposure
mode and Partial scan mode. In a long exposure, the
exposure time is set longer than the image transmission
cycle.
When multiple cameras are connected in the same bus,
all the cameras may not output images at the same time
due to the restriction of 800 Mbps band. Memory Shot
may resolve this inconvenience.
When exposure starts, each camera stores an image in
the frame memory without allocating the isochronous
resource.
When outputting, each PC outputs the image from the
camera allocating the isochronous resource.
The number of images to be stored depends on the video
mode.
1394 bus synchronization includes up to 1H cycle jitter.
Hardware external synchronization will ensure greater
accuracy.
Broadcast Command
The normal1394 communication method specifies the
node number at the host side so that only a specified
camera responds to the command.
If the node number is set to 63, all the cameras
connected to the same bus can receive the command
simultaneously, i.e., only one command issued from the
host can control multiple cameras at the same time.
Example: To broadcast a software trigger
1. Connect multiple cameras to the same bus.
2. Set the video mode and frame rate appropriately on
each camera and prepare the cameras for sending
images at the same time.
3. Set each camera to the software trigger mode.
4. Issue a software command for node number 63.
Now all the cameras start exposure and output images
simultaneously.
All the commands including the video mode setting and
the feature control are capable of broadcasting except
the block writing command.
When setting different types of cameras using a
broadcast command, be careful not to issue a command
that the cameras do not support.
13
Partial Scan
The partial scan is a function for outputting part of a whole image as a region of interest on the whole image. Based on
the unit cell as the unit, continuous parts can be selected. Only rectangles can be selected. The screen cannot be cut in
convex and L shapes.
Vertical (Vertical Direction)
Cutting by Partial scan mode
Horizontal (Horizontal Direction)
The minimum unit size for partial scan is 32 pixels × 24 lines. The cut-out position can be set in unit of 4 pixels × 4 lines.
For high-speed scanning, set the maximum packet size.
When using multiple cameras at the same time, set a small packet size that falls within the 800 Mbps band.
When using Partial scan mode, set Format7, Mode0.
14
Binning Mode
The mode used when the sensitivity is increased and the
frame rate is multiplied based on mixing the CCD pixel
data, is called the Binning mode.
There are two types of binning: 1 × 2 binning when the
output image is compressed in the vertical direction
only, and 2 × 2 binning when the image is compressed in
both the vertical and horizontal directions.
When Binning mode is used, set either Format7 Mode1
(2 × 2 binning), or Format7 Mode2 (1 × 2 binning).
Format7 Mode4 for XCD-
V60/V60CR
As 90 fps mode is not defined by the IIDC standard, this
camera realizes 90 fps mode in Format7, Mode4.
16-bit Mode
This camera supports 16-bit Black & white
(Monochrome) mode. Only the least significant 10 bits
of the 16 bits will handle data. The upper 6 bits will be
filled with zeros.

write mode, and channel 1 is in RAM write mode.
The table written in EEPROM is read out when Gamma
is set to 3.
Although block writing is applicable for either mode,
transfer the next data in EEPROM mode only after
confirming that the previous writing has been
completed, because writing in EEPROM mode requires
a long time.
The common Lookup table is used for both the 16-bit
mode and 8-bit mode. For the 8-bit mode, the most
significant 8 bits of the 10 bits will handle data.
The table written in RAM is directly reflected to images
regardless of the Gamma setting.

On Sensitivity in Binning Mode
Notes on the Camera
Operations
In the Binning mode, the vertical signal is factored in, so
the sensitivity is doubled. The frame rate is also doubled
and the exposure time is halved, so this effect is canceled
out.
If Frame Rate Decrease Occurs
On this camera, frame rate may decrease depending on
your shutter settings.
On the other hand, when a shorter exposure time is set,
the effect of this inclusion appears, and the sensitivity
increases. When setting the exposure time in the
Binning mode, take this into consideration.
a When the exposure time is shorter than one frame,
and the exposure time setting is shortened using the
shutter
Auto Shutter Control and Absolute
Value Shutter Control
The auto shutter control function cannot be used in the
Absolute value control mode. When Shutter is set to
AUTO, the Absolute value control mode is
automatically canceled.
b When the shutter is set to Auto, and the exposure
time decreases automatically
In either case, the camera tends to skip 1 frame image,
resulting in a decrease in the frame rate. Keep this in
mind when using an application that switches exposure
times frequently.
On Accuracy of Auto White Balance
c With a long exposure
In long exposure mode, the exposure time is set
longer than the image transmission cycle. In this
case, frame rate decreases according to the exposure
time.
This camera integrates the R, G and B levels within the
area specified by the AWB detection frame, and adjust
the R and B gains so as to equalize each level. For this
reason, the correct white balance is obtained when a
white subject is shot on the whole detection frame.
The correct color reproduction may not be obtained
during a normal scene shooting.
When Using Trigger Mode
This camera is set to accept a trigger at the fastest
possible timing and it can accept overlap of the next
trigger signal during video transmission as the default
setting. For this reason, a trigger inhibition period is not
available. Thus, if a trigger signal is input before the
CCD can change to the state where it can accept
exposures, multiple exposures can occur, and it cannot
capture the correct image. Design the trigger generation
circuit so that the trigger cycle is not faster than
necessary.
For the same reason, a malfunction may occur when
noise overlaps a trigger signal. In this case, suppress
noise in the trigger generation circuit.
When the above conditions are unavoidable, the trigger
inhibition period can be limited only while the image is
being output.
Keep in mind, however, that if the trigger inhibition
feature is enabled, the overlap trigger cannot be accepted
and the minimum trigger input cycle becomes longer
according to the exposure time.
