6 Overview XCD-V50CR XCD-V50 Location of P ar ts and Operation 1 Lens mount (C-mount) Attach any C-mount lens or other optical equipment. Note The lens must not project more than 7 mm (9/32 inch) from the lens mount.
7 Functions XCD-V50CR XCD-V50 Functions Gain Manual Gain setting is available with this camera. The variable range extends from 0 to 18 dB, and the unit is designed so that the gain can be subdivided and set to any of 512 steps. At the factory default setting, the gain is set to 0 dB.
8 Functions XCD-V50CR XCD-V50 16-bit Mode The camera supports 16-bit Black & white (Monochrome) mode, but because the output of the AD converter is 14-bit, only the least significant 14 bits of the 16 bits will handle data. The upper 2 bits will be filled with zeros.
9 Control XCD-V50CR XCD-V50 Camera Command Status Register This camera complies with IIDC 1394-based Digital Camera Specification, Version 1.31 (hereinafter referred to as IIDC v1.31). The standards document can be purchased from 1394TA (the 1394 Trade Association).
10 Control XCD-V50CR XCD-V50 With the exception of bits 8 to 15 of the 400h offset address field, the length of the entire ConfigROM is made up of 21h Quadlets. So the ConfigROM from 400h to 487h is 136 bytes. For offset address 424h, the length of the UnitDirectory is 3 Quadlets.
11 Control XCD-V50CR XCD-V50 For offset address 434h, the length of the UnitDependentInfo is 11 Quadlets. CommandRegsBase is the base address of the camera control register. F0000000h + 3c0000h * 4 = F0F00000h For offset address 464h, the length of the VendorNameLeaf is 3 Quadlets.
12 Control XCD-V50CR XCD-V50 Contr ol Base Ad dress Every register address is decided based on the base address found in the CommandRegsBase field of ConfigROM. F0F00000h is the control base address on this camera. Inquiring Suppor ted Video Modes First, we will find out what video formats are supported.
13 Control XCD-V50CR XCD-V50 Video Mode Settings Select the video mode you want to use from the tables, and make the required settings. As example, the register setting for Format0, Mode5, and a frame rate of 60 fps is shown. In addition, an isochronous transfer speed of 800 Mbps, and isochronous channel 0 are used in this example.
14 Control XCD-V50CR XCD-V50 Feature Contr ols This camera supports the following features. Shutter Controls the exposure time. Can be contr olled by both relative control v alues from 1/100000 of a second to 1/15s, alloca ted from 1 to 3196. Gain Can be changed to 0 to 18 dB, subdi vided in 512 steps.
