SONY XCL-S900
In response to customer demand, Sony is proud to introduce a new top-of-the-line XCL CameraLink Camera
Series in monochrome and color. With their superb resolution and high frame rates, these new cameras deliver
a level of exceptional picture quality that analog cameras cannot achieve.
The new XCL-S Series cameras incorporate a 1/1-type EXview HAD CCD II™ sensor which provides extremely
high sensitivity. In addition to inheriting many convenient functions from Sony’s XCL Series, such as Bulk Trigger
and Sequential Trigger modes, these new cameras also incorporate some unique features including Shading
Correction, Defect Correction, and Temperature Readout.
These new advanced features and benefits make XCL-S Series cameras ideal when the highest inspection
quality is demanded for display panels, semiconductors, solar panels, PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards), and
pharmaceutical applications.
FEATURES
Near-infrared Sensitivity
Utilizing Sony’s EXview HAD CCD II technology enables
XCL-S Series cameras to capture clear images in NIR
(near-infrared) wavelengths. When used with an infrared
strobe, each camera produces outstanding picture quality
especially in low light and NIR inspection applications.
High Frame Rate Image Transfer
XCL-S Series cameras feature a high readout rate of
uncompressed images for smooth and clear results. The
XCL-S600 and XCL-S600C achieve 27 frames per second (fps),
and the XCL-S900 and XCL-S900C achieve 18 fps when fourchannel
output is selected. This enables these cameras to
capture fast-moving objects without sacrificing image quality.
Shading Correction
With embedded shading correction, XCL-S Series cameras
minimize the uneven image intensity often caused by lighting
and/or the lens. Their internal hardware processing reduces
the need for external image correction that is normally
performed via a frame grabber board and PC. This handy
function reduces the processing load of the PC, and simplifies
the processing task. In addition, these cameras are equipped
with three optional lighting settings to capture clear images
in varying lighting conditions.
Defect Correction
XCL-S Series cameras can automatically minimize defective
pixels (e.g., white and black dots) within the entire imaging
area directly inside the camera. This feature helps simplify
image processing.
Temperature Readout
Each camera comes with an internal temperature sensor. The
host device can receive temperature information by issuing
a command. This eliminates the need for a separate sensor,
and simplifies system configuration.
Sensitivity Control
The XCL-S Series is equipped with a saturation signal control
function to allow the amount of saturation signal charge
on the CCD to be increased or decreased via software
commands. For example when capturing dark objects, the
user can increase the amount of saturation signal charge –
this elevates the camera’s sensitivity to improve the picture
quality instead of using a long exposure time*. On the other
hand, by decreasing the amount of saturation signal charge,
the level of smear can be reduced or improved.
* If the saturation signal charge amount exceeds the maximum that can
be transferred into the vertical and horizontal registers, a transfer error will
occur (e.g., smear).
Memory Channel (Userset)
In addition to factory default settings, up to 16 camera
parameters – including brightness, gamma, shutter, gain, and
trigger mode – can be preset to suit each particular scene.
Bulk Trigger Mode & Sequential Trigger Mode
These new XCL-S Series cameras feature advanced Bulk
Trigger and Sequential Trigger modes in addition to a
conventional trigger mode. Each camera supports 16
memory channels that can store up to 16 different camera
setups (e.g., exposure, and gain).
Bulk Trigger mode allows these cameras to capture up to
16 images in rapid succession using a single software or
hardware trigger.
Sequential Trigger mode allows each camera to capture a
single image using successive setups stored in the memory
channels with each software or hardware trigger.
Look-up Table (LUT)
Each XCL-S Series camera supports a look-up table which
transforms the input luminance signal into the required
digital output. It supports factory presets – Linear, Negative,
Binarization, and Linear Interpolation – as well as a Userdefined
LUT (input: 12 bits, output: 12 bits).
Trigger Noise Filtering
With a trigger line filter, these cameras can specify a valid
pulse width for the trigger. This helps avoid unexpected
image capture caused, for example, by triggers from
insignificant noise.
Pulse Train Generator
XCL-S Series cameras are capable of outputting any
rectangular wave from one of the general-purpose outputs.
This pulse train can be programmed for frequencies from
0.5 Hz up to 100 KHz in 1 μs steps to control external devices
such as LED lights, simplifying overall system configuration.
