  • Page 8: Phase Conditions Of External Synchronization

    XC-E series PHASE CONDITIONS OF EXTERNAL SYNCHRONIZATION External synchronization for each mode • For normal video/normal shutter Continuous HD/VD signal (should conform to EIA and CCIR frequencies in the timing shown in the figure below.) • For Restart Reset (RR)/external trigger shutter Continuous HD signal.
  • Page 9: Electronic Shutter

    ELECTRONIC SHUTTER Two types of electronic shutter are provided “normal shutter and external trigger shutter”. The electronic shutter speed and type can be set using the DIP switch on the rear panel. DIP switch on the rear panel Rear panel Normal shutter This mode provides continuous video output with the electronic shutter selected by switches to clearly capture a high-speed moving object.
  • Page 10 XC-E series ELECTRONIC SHUTTER External trigger shutter These modes are used to capture one image (one field) per trigger pulse. Set DIP switches 6, 7, and 8 on the rear panel to mode 1 or 2. (Refer to the table below.) When the trigger pulse width is 1/3 sec or more, the output signal is switched to a normal video signal.
  • Page 11 ELECTRONIC SHUTTER Using trigger pulse width • Set DIP switches 1 to 4 on the rear panel to 0. • An arbitrary shutter speed can be obtained by setting the trigger pulse width to the range of 2 sec to 250 msec.
  • Page 12 XC-E series ELECTRONIC SHUTTER When using a trigger pulse like shown below, set the TRIG polarity selector switch on the rear panel to – : A: 4.0 to 5.0 V 0 to 2.0 V T: 2 s to 1/4 s, 100 s to 1/4 s when setting the shutter speed using DIP switch Input impedance: 10 k or more The voltage and pulse width used are measured at pin 11 of a 12-pin multi-connector on the rear panel.
  • Page 13: Restart Reset (R.r)

    RESTART RESET (R.R) The information on one screen can be extracted at any time by inputting a restart/reset signal (HD/VD) from the outside. To enter this mode, set DIP switches 6, 7, and 8 on the rear panel of a camera as shown in the table below. The setting is especially effective for the following operation.

    FRAME IMAGE OUTPUT WITH STROBE LIGHT A full frame image with vertical resolution of 485 lines (XC-ST70) or 575 lines (XC-ST70CE) can be obtained with a strobe light by firing the strobe when the exposure time of the two fields overlap. Timing and conditions ...
