When installing the camera Fig. A
When you install the camera with various peripheral devices and if the
devices have different ground electric potential, ground only one device. In
case there is an ground electric potential difference, the camera may be
damaged.

Notes on Operation
Power supply
The camera operates on +12 V DC. Use a stable power source free from
ripple or noise.
Foreign bodies
Be careful not to spill liquids, or drop any flammable or metal objects in the
camera body.
Locations for operation and storage
Avoid operation or storage in the following places.
Extremely hot or cold locations. Recommended temperature range is 0°C
to 40°C. (32°F to 104°F)
Locations subject to strong vibration
Near generators of strong electromagnetic radiation such as TV or radio
transmitters.
Care
Use a blower to remove dust from the surface of the lens or optical filter.
Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth.
If the camera is very grimy, apply a cloth soaked in a mild detergent then
wipe with a dry cloth. Do not apply organic solvents such as alcohol or
benzine which may damage the finish.
Overview
Before operating the unit, please read this manual thoroughly and retain for
future reference.
The XCL-U1000C/U1000 is a digital video camera module. This camera
module outputs digital images utilizing LVDS via the digital interface
connector.
XCL-U1000C: Color Digital Video Camera Module
XCL-U1000: Black-and-White Digital Video Camera Module
Digital interface connector
Equipped with a Camera Link compatible connector. The XCL-U1000C/
U1000 can output a digital image at 15 frames per second.
High image quality
The XCL-U1000C/U1000 (UXGA) has a progressive scan CCD of
2,000,000 pixels. Both cameras produce high-resolution images. By
adopting square pixels, images can be processed using the original aspect
ratio without a converting procedure.
Various mode settings
Sending a command from the host device allows the following mode
settings.
Gain
•Read mode: normal /binning
High rate scan
Shutter: Normal/Trigger shutter

Detail
White balance (XCL-U1000C only)
Matrix (XCL-U1000C only)
Electronic shutter function
Shutter speed can be selected from variety of available speeds.
External trigger shutter function (1/15 to 1/10000 sec.)
You can obtain a freeze picture by inputting an external trigger. This
function is useful to shoot a fast-moving object clearly.
High rate scan
The camera module can limit the number of effective video output lines to
achieve high frame rates, enabling high-speed image processing.
Binning (XCL-U1000 only)
By “binning” two pixels that align vertically, you can acquire a frame rate
twice as high as that in the normal mode.
Body fixing
The screw holes to install the camera module are located under the front
panel (the CCD reference plane). Installing the camera module on the front
panel minimizes deviation of the optical axis.
Matrix (XCL-U1000C only)
Utilizing the matrix unit reproduces color more accurately.
Detail
The camera module can accentuate all the edges of an image producing
sharper detail.
System Components Fig. B
The Video Camera Module XCL-U1000C/U1000 system comprises the
following optional products (available separately).

25N (25 m, 82 ft) camera cable
This is attached to the DC IN connector of the camera module and is used
for power supply and exchange of trigger signals.
3 C-mount lens
Use a high-resolution lens.
4 DC-700/700CE camera adaptor
This is connected to the camera module to enable power supply from
ordinary AC power source.
5 VCT-ST70I tripod adaptor
This attaches to the bottom of the camera module to fix the camera module
to a tripod.
6 Camera module interface board
Install the board in a PCI bus slot in devices such as a PC. Select a
