Sony XCD-SX90CR SXGA 1394B 1/3inch Raw Color CCD Camera

The XCD Series - IEEE1394b interface and a variety of resolutions and frame rates to choose from, selecting the right camera for your machine vision application has never been easier. Ideal for industrial machine vision applications such as object recognition, inspection, measurement, alignment, and more.

The Sony XCD-SX90CR supports IIDC protocol for 1394b ( Firewire 800 ) devices allowing multiple cameras on a single firewire connection at datarates up to 800Mbits/sec. The XCD-SX90 is ideal for industrial machine-vision applications such as object recognition, inspection, measurement, alignment and more.

NOTE: The camera may be powered directly over the firewire interface or externally with a DC-700 power supply. When using the DC-700, a 12-pin interconnect cable is required. This combination will break out the various input/output signals and triggers available on the camera.

Sony XCD-SX90CR Highlights:

*  Excellent Picture Quality/High Frame Rates
The sony XCD-SX90CR employs an exclusive Sony CCD and achieves up to 30 fps with SXGA image quality.
*  Multi-Connection Capability (Daisy Chain Configuration)  
The sony XCD-SX90CR camera is equipped with two IEEE 1394.b ports allowing multiple cameras to be connected in a daisy-chain configuration and be controlled from a single PC. Users can enjoy the benefits of simplified operation in a multi-camera system.
*  IEEE 1394b Digital Interface  
The new XCD-SX90CR employs the IEEE 1394b interface which attains high data-transfer rates of up to 800 Mb/s. Since this camera is backward compatible with IEEE 1394a, it camera can be easily integrated with legacy 1394a systems.
*  Bus Synchronization  
The new XCD-SX90CR also features a bus synchronization function enabling users to simultaneously capture images from different angles with multiple cameras by sending a single trigger to all cameras from the host PC. This feature is not only useful for viewing images from different angles, but can be used to recreate a 3D image for more detailed inspection.
*  Broadcast Delivery  
The broadcast delivery function of the XCD-SX90CR can be used to send a software trigger to multiple cameras in a daisy chain. This not only facilitates connections, but eliminates the need for using a hardware trigger which can produce false triggers due to noise. In addition, the broadcast delivery function can be used to simultaneously change camera settings such as shutter speed, exposure, white balance, gain and more.
*  Image Buffer  
The new XCD-SX90CR is equipped with an image buffer, which serves as temporary storage for captured images for later transmission or retransmission. This function allows users to maximize bandwidth in multiple-camera operations or reconfirm specific images as required.
*  Vertical and Horizontal Partial Scanning  
By selecting a particular area of image to be scanned, users of the XCD-SX90CR can reduce data size and increase frame rate to minimize processing time.
*  Vertical and Horizontal Binning  
The Vertical binning feature of the XCD-SX90CR combines image data for every two lines vertically resulting in increased frame rates and reduced processing time. Horizontal binning combines image data for every two pixels horizontally to achieve sensitivity, faster capture speeds, and quicker processing.
*  Multi-Trap Function  
The new XCD-SX90CR camera incorporates a multi-trap function to allow the capture of up to 15 images with different shutter speeds by inputting one software or hardware trigger. By doing so, specific areas of that item can be clearly seen without changing the lighting. This allows a composite image with a wide dynamic range to be reproduced.
*  Other Features  
1. Hardware LUT (Look Up Table) 2. Built-in Real-time 3x3 Image Pre-processing Filter 3. Low Power Consumption (2.8 W) 4. Compact and Lightweight 5. High Shock and Vibration Resistance 6. Meets IIDC Ver. 1.31. Specifications
