Main Features

The XC-505/505P is a small color video camera module

that incorporates a 1/3-type IT CCD.

Main Features

Small Size and Lightweight

The camera is so small and light that you can install it

anywhere: even in locations where conventional video

cameras cannot be installed.

High Sensitivity

A built-in Super HAD II (Hole Accumulated Diode II)

sensor, allows high sensitivity, low smear images. You can

shoot, even under poor lighting conditions.

Simple Configuration via DIP Switch

Gain, shutter speed, and white balance can be configured

using the 8-bit DIP switch located on the side of the unit.

Five White Balance Adjustment

Settings

Using the white balance DIP switches, you can choose

from among five white balance modes (3200K/5600K/

One Push WB/ATW/MAN) to choose the best settings for

shooting conditions, and the most appropriate color

compensation.

Electronic Shutter with a Wide

Range of Operating Speeds

Using the electronic shutter DIP switches, these levels of

shutter speed (OFF, 1/1,000, and FLICKERLESS) are

available to allow you to match the shutter speed to the

shooting conditions.

When you set the DIP switches for the CCD IRIS function,

the shutter speed is adjusted automatically, based on the

amount of light allowed to enter, ensuring the most

appropriate level of image signal.

Advanced settings can be configured via RS-232C serial

communication. For details, see “Communication

Specifications” on page 14.

Function Setting via RS-232C

Transmissions

Using computer communications software such as

HyperTerminal and Tera Term, function switching can be

performed.

A variety of functions such as NR (2D/3D), edge

enhancement, γ, Nega/Posi, and Flip can be set via serial

communication. For details, see “Communication

Specifications” on page 14.

XCK-L555 Angle Case Kit

The XCK-L555 allows you to bend the XC-505/505P 90

degrees horizontally (HL).

You can install XC-505/505P in only HL (horizontal)

directions. VL (vertical) is not available with this model.

Dimensions

Angle type

On the upper position of the Front block zis located. Set

the direction correctly while looking at the Front block

from the front so that zis in the upper position.

Dip switch: rear

Installation

Use angle case A/B and screws.

Remove the four screws (+PM1.7 × 3) from the front

panel.

The front block will pop out due to pressure from the

flexible cable.

Attach the angle case (B) to the underside of the front

block.

Do not pull the front block out forcibly. If you do so,

you may damage the flexible cable.

Attach the angle case (A) to the front block.

removed in step 1.

Tighten the screws to a torque level of 0.15 N•m for

the XC-505/505P.

Using the four screws (+K2 × 2.5) provided, attach

the angle case (A/B) and the front block securely.

Tighten the screws to a torque level of 0.18•Em.

Location of Parts and Operation

aDip switches for setting functions

This switches are used to adjust white balance and shutter

speed; and to flip AGC (ON/OFF) and output signals (Y/

C/VBS).

For details, see “Mode Setting by Dip Switch” on page 8.

bOne Push WB switch

One Push white balance functions when the white balance

adjustment mode is set to One Push WB. The white

balance is automatically adjusted when this switch is

pressed, and the color balance is retained after adjustment.

cNF mount

dDC IN/SYNC/VIDEO connector (multi 12-pin)

This connector inputs DC 12 V power and outputs the

video signal when the CCXC-12P02N/12P05N/12P10N/

12P25N camera cable is connected.

If the unit is connected to devices that originate a

synchronized signal, the external synchronous signal (VS,

VBS, HD/VD) can be used to move the color camera

module.

VBS signals input as external synchronized signals

perform the same functions as VS signals. (Burst signals

are not locked and are free running.)

8Mode Setting by Dip Switch

Pin Assignment of the DC IN/SYNC/

VIDEO Connector Mode Setting by Dip

Switch

By flipping the DIP switches located on the side of this

camera, you can adjust the following functions.

Each switch is assigned to a function. The switches that

should be set to adjust a certain function (white balance,

shutter speed), to switch the AGC (ON/OFF), or to switch

the output signals (Y/C/VBS) are specified and indicated

by shading in the illustrations of the corresponding

descriptions of the function. The switches that are not

shaded are not related to these functions.

Note

Mode Setting by Dip Switch

To Adjust the White Balance

Select the white balance setting according to the lighting

conditions.

To adjust the white balance, use bitXX (the shaded

switches).

The correct white balance is obtained when a white subject

is shot on the whole detection area.

The correct color reproduction may not be obtained during

a normal scene shooting.

To Adjust the Shutter Speed

Set the shutter speed switches to select the desired shutter

speed. Using the CCD IRIS function, set the CCD IRIS

mode.

To adjust the shutter speed, use the shaded switches.

AGC (Auto Gain Control) ON/OFF

To switch the AGC on or off, use the shaded switch.

To Switch the Output Signals (Y/C/

VBS)

Select the camera output signal.

To switch the output signals (Y/C/VBS), use the shaded

switch.
