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

1Lens mount (C-mount)
Attach any C-mount lens such as the VCL-12YM
standard lens or other optical equipment.
2Reference holes (Top)
These precision screw holes are for locking the camera
module. Locking the camera module into these holes
secures the optical axis alignment.
3Reference holes/Tripod screw holes (bottom)
These precision screw holes are for locking the camera
module. Locking the camera module using these holes
secures the optical axis alignment.
You can install the camera on a tripod. To install on a
tripod, you will need to install the VCT-ST70I tripod
adaptor using the reference holes on the bottom of the
camera.

This switch selects either the 2I mode (interlace) or the
1N mode (non-interlace).
2GAIN switch
This switch selects fixed gain (F) or manual gain
control (M). (Factory setting: F)

When the GAIN switch 2is set to M (Manual), adjust
the gain using this control.

6HD/VD signal input/output switch
Set the switch to INT to output HD/VD signals from
the camera module.
Set the switch to EXT to input HD/VD signals from an
external unit. (Factory setting: EXT)

Set an appropriate shutter speed when you have set the
restart reset/external trigger shutter mode switch 4to
external trigger shutter mode M1 or M2. (Factory
setting: shutter OFF)
8HIGH RATE (Partial scanning) controls
These controls operate when you have set the restart
reset/external trigger shutter mode switch 4to R.R,
M1 or M2.
Increasing the number by one with the ten’s digit
control (left side) decreases the effective video output
lines by 50 ~ 60 lines*. Increasing the number by one
with the first’s digit control (right side) decreases the
effective video output lines by 5 ~ 6 lines*.
The partial scanning operation is turned off when both
controls are set to 0.
* For details of the relation between effective pixels and
BLKG, see “Example of Usage of the Partial Scanning
Mode (Restart/Reset)”, page 12 and 13, or “Example of
Usage of the Partial Scanning Mode (Trigger shutter) “,
page 15 and 16.
9VIDEO OUT/DC IN/SYNC (video output/DC
power input/sync signal I/O) connector (12-pin)
Connect a CCXC-12P05N camera cable to this
connector for the +12V DC power supply and the
video signal output from the camera module. When a
sync signal generator is connected to this connector,
the camera module is synchronized with the external
sync signals (HD/VD signals).

Make sure that the external HD/VD phases against the
standard central phase are as shown in the figure
above. Invalid signal input may cause an error in the
internal reset.
When you restart/reset the camera or operate the
camera by inputting an external trigger shutter pulse,
the Vsync signal for the image is output 1 H later from
