Sony Updated: 2008-05-06 RSS

Compact and lightweight, Sony's XC-ST50CE 1/2" CCD B/W Camera (CCIR) is ideal for image processing and machine vision applications. The XC-ST50CEis a compact and lightweight B/W 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.

Highlights:

* 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

Features:

Improved Sensitivity: 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.
Excellent Vibration and Shock Characteristics: Vibration resistance has been improved to 10G as compared to the XC-75/73 at 7G; this is achieved by improved board-to-board connections.
Simplified and More Flexible Trigger: Has an improved trigger/shutter that significantly improves and simplifies the trigger operation from previous models; the various versions of Reset-Restart and Donpisha are now replaced with a simplified trigger/shutter that provides much greater functionality and flexibility.
All Controls Outside 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.
Small and lightweight: The compact, lightweight camera body allows the camera to be used in very tight places and for some remote camera-head applications.
