Product overview
The XCD-MV6 digital video camera module employs the IEEE1394b-2002 standard and is equipped with quality digital camera features.
Despite its compact size, this camera is equipped with digital signal processing which reduces the load of image processing in a PC, bus synchronization, and broadcast delivery of commands. This digital output camera conforms to the IIDC 1.32 protocol, taking full advantage of IEEE1394 capabilities.
Product features
Please be aware that the features/specifications can differ from country to country
High-speed transmission at 1.6 Gbps
Transmission speed supports the following two types: S1600 (1.6 Gbps 1600Mbps)) and S800 (800 Mbps).
Equipped with a CMOS sensor
With a 1/3″ CMOS Sensor, the camera can output video at a frame rate of 60 fps with an image size of WVGA.
Digital signal processing
The camera is equipped with Sony’s own correction function which corrects pixel blemishes and vertical stripes characteristic
of CMOS Sensors. In addition, it is also equipped with a function to correct shading produced by lenses and light sources,
achieving high image quality required for machine vision use.
Broadcast delivery of commands
The camera settings for all the cameras connected to the same bus can be changed at the same time. For example, the gain or
shutter speed is set to the same value on all the cameras, or exposure starts on all the cameras simultaneously using a software
trigger.
Memory Channel
The memory channel allows storage of up to 15 sets of camera settings such as gain and shutter.
Image Buffer (Memory Shot)
The image exposed from the sensor is stored in the camera’s built-in memory. The stored image can be read out using a command
from the host PC when required. The number of frames is not dependent on bit length. The maximum number of frames is 100,
regardless of image size.
Partial scan
Partial scan clips a required angle of view (area) from the entire screen to be read out. As a part of the image is read out,
the unit takes advantage of reduced image data and high-speed transfer. The minimum clipping unit is 64 pixels × 24 lines.
Low power consumption, vibration and shock-resistant structure, and compact size
Ideal for placement into space-restricted, robotic applications.
