XC-ST50CE : 1/2″ CCD, Mono, PAL 560 TV, Global, Analog, 30fps
The XC-ST50CE is part of Sony’s next generation of analog 1/2″ B/W video cameras, ideal for image processing and machine vision applications. The new XC-ST50CE is a compact, light weight video camera incorporating the latest 1/2″ Interline Transfer (IT) CCD with HAD technology providing 752(H) x 582(V) effective picture elements and incorporating a C-Mount type lens mount. The XC-ST50CE is easy to use and its small size allows for flexible interface.
- High Sensitivity using the 1/2″ CCD with HAD technology.
- All controls outside the camera
- Simplified and more flexible trigger from previous models
- Small, light weight, one piece camera
- Excellent vibration and shock characteristics
- Small and light weight power adaptor
The XC-ST50CE uses the latest 1/2″ Interline Transfer (IT) CCD with HAD technology which is more sensitive than the technology used in the popular XC-75 and XC-73 camera family. This new HAD technology has a microlens over each pixel to improve the light collection efficiency. This is reflected in the minimum sensitivity specification of 0.3 lx. That means the camera should be able to detect more faint signals or need less gain with less noise when detecting faint signals.
The XC-ST50CE have all the camera control switches accessible from the outside of the camera. There is no need for the user to open the camera to modify the operating mode of the camera or to determine or confirm switches settings. A user will no longer need to “customize” the internal camera switches.
