ONE-PIECE COLOR VIDEO CAMERAThe XC-555 Interline Transfer CCD color video camera offers a one-piece design in place of a bulky CCU and measures 22 x 22 x 75 mm. This allows users to install the camera in such space-restricted applications as machine vision, multimedia and remote monitoring. The XC-555 provides 768 x 494 effective pixels with a horizontal resolution of 470 TV lines and 48 dB signal-to-noise, as well as a DSP that can be controlled by a computer remotely via an RS-232 interface. Thus, such functions as shutter speed, red/blue level, pedestal, AGC and CCD-IRIS all fall under the user's controls. Other features include external synchronization and VBS and Y/C outputs.
