The XC-555/555P is an ultra-compact, integrated 1/2 type IT CCD color camera ideally suited for a wide variety of applications such as machine vision, multimedia and remote monitoring. The XC-555/555P is designed so that a video output signal can be obtained by only providing a power supply of 12 V DC. Its ultra-compact, one-piece design eliminates the need for a bulky CCU, allowing the XC-555/555P cameras to be easily installed in space-restricted areas. In addition, the XC-555/555P cameras use a unique, compact NF mount lens system that can be converted into a flexible C mount lens. Furthermore, the XC-555/555P is a highly functional DSP camera that can be controlled by RS-232C. The RS-232C interface allows the camera to control various functions such as Shutter Speed, Red/Blue level, Pedestal, AGC and CCD IRIS.
