Notes on using this product● Handle carefully
Do not drop the equipment or allow it to be subject to strong impact or vibration, as such action may cause
malfunctions. Further, do not damage the connection cable, since this may cause wire breakage.
● Environmental operating conditions
Do not use the product in locations where the ambient temperature or humidity exceeds the specifications.
Otherwise, image quality may be degraded or internal components may be adversely affected. In particular,
do not use the product in areas exposed to direct sunlight. Moreover, during shooting under hightemperatures, vertical stripes or white spots (noise) may be produced, depending on the subject or camera
conditions (such as increased gain). However, such phenomena are not malfunctions.
● Check a combination with the lens
Depending on the lens and lighting you use, an image is reflected as a ghost in the imaging area. However,this is not because of a fault of the camera.
In addition, depending on the lens you use, the performance of the camera may not be brought out fully due
to deterioration in resolution and brightness in the peripheral area, aberration and others.
Be sure to check a combination with the camera by using the lens and lightning you actually use.
When installing a lens in the camera, make sure carefully that it is not tilted.
In addition, use a mounting screw free from defects and dirt. Otherwise, the camera may be unable to be
removed.
Install a next lens; its dimension of protrusion from bottom of the screw is equal to or less than 7.9mm. If alens does not stand to this condition, it might not be installed to this camera.

● Do not expose the camera's image-pickup-plane to sunlight or other intense light directly
Its inner CMOS sensor might be damaged.
● Occurrence of moiré
If you shoot thin stripe patterns, moiré patterns (interference fringes) may appear. This is not a malfunction.
● Occurrence of noise on the screen
If an intense magnetic or electromagnetic field is generated near the camera or connection cable, noise may
be generated on the screen. If this occurs, move the camera or the cable.
● Handling of the protective cap
If the camera is not in use, attach the lens cap to the camera to protect the image pickup surface.
● If the equipment is not to be used for a long duration
Turn off power to the camera for safety.
● Maintenance
Turn off power to the equipment and wipe it with a dry cloth.
If it becomes severely contaminated, gently wipe the affected areas with a soft cloth dampened with diluted
neutral detergent. Never use alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemicals because such chemicals may
damage or discolor the paint and indications.
If the image pickup surface becomes dusty, contaminated, or scratched, consult your sales representative.

[Phenomena specific to CMOS sensor]
Defective pixels

A CMOS image sensor is composed of photo sensor pixels in a square grid array. Due tothe characteristics of CMOS image sensors, over- or under-driving of the pixels results in
temporary white or black areas (as if these are noises) appearing on the screen. Thisphenomenon, which is not a defect is exacerbated under higher temperatures and longexposure time.
Image shading
The brightness of the upper part of the screen may be different from that of the lower part. Notethat this is a characteristic of a CMOS image sensor and is not a fault.

Specifications
Overview
This BC series is an integrated-(one-body)-type camera that adopts a global shutter CMOS sensor.
BC302LM (3M 1/1.8 type, monochrome), BC505LM (5M 2/3 type, monochrome).
Suffix [G] is attached to the monochrome models, suffix [CG] or [CF] are attached to the color models.

Features● High frame rate and high resolution
Supporting high frame rate, BC302LMG 56fps, BC505LMG / BC505LMCG / BC505LMCF, 36fps.
● Global shutter
As it employs a global electronic shutter similar to a CCD image sensor, clear images of even fast-moving
object are obtainable with less blur.
●Camera Link interface (power supply type)
By using a Camera Link-capable frame grabber board to which power can be supplied, high-speed transfer
of captured images to a PC as well as various types of camera control from the PC are allowed. Power canalso be supplied to the camera with only one cable.
● Random Trigger Shutter
The Random Trigger Shutter function provides images in any timing by input of an external trigger signal.
Trigger control from PC is available as well.
● Scalable
Selectable video output area. This mode achieves higher frame rate by reducing vertical output area. And
reduces occupied data rate of Gigabit Ethernet by reducing horizontal output area.
● Binning mode
In this mode, pixel data is combined by vertical and horizontal.

Notes on combination of C-mount lens:- Depending on the lens you use, the performance of the camera may not be brought out fully due to the deterioration in
resolution and brightness in the peripheral area, occurrence of a ghost, aberration and others. When you check the
combination between the lens and camera, be sure to use the lens you actually use.
- In addition, use a mounting screw free from defects and dirt. Otherwise, the camera may be unable to be removed.
- As for the C-mount lens used combining this camera, the projection distance from bottom of the screw should use
7.9mm or less.

Command Commnucation Protocol
BC series has Legacy protocol and GenCP as command communication protocol.
The switching of communication protocol is recognized automatically from received packet. The PC application
can communication to camera without switching operation of communication protocol. For Legacy protocol and
GenCP, BC series has multiple register for control of camera feature.
The accessing to IIDC2 registers is possible by using Legacy protocol and GenCP. The accessing to Legacy
registers is possible by using only Legacy protocol. The accessing to GenCP registers is possible by using
only GenCP.

Legacy Protocol
This command communication protocol is the teli standard method (method in which parameters are set in theregisters in the camera). In command send/receive operation, hexadecimal address and data are converted to
ASCII data. All ASCII alphabetic characters used are uppercase characters.
(1) Writing to the register
To write data in a register, send a command, as follows.
(Address' max-length is 8 bytes, and Data's max-length is 8 bytes)
Address
Address
‘ , ’
Data
Data
Data
Data
Data
Data
Data
Data
2nd byte 1st byte （0x2C） 8th byte 7th byte 6th byte 5th byte 4th byte 3rd byte 2nd byte 1st byte

[CR]
(0x0D)For example, to write data 0x38 to address 0x76, send a command, as follows:‘7’(0x37)‘6’(0x36)‘ , ’(0x2C)‘3’(0x33)‘8’(0x38)[CR](0x0D)

The camera responds to the write command with No Error (ACK) or Error (NAK), as follows:
No Error (ACK):[ACK](0x06)[CR](0x0D)[NAK](0x15)[CR](0x0D)

Error (NAK):(2) Reading the register
To read data from a register, send ', (comma)', 'R', 'Q' and [CR] code following the address. For example, toread data in address 0x91, send a command, as follows:‘9’(0x39)‘1’(0x31)‘ , ’(0x2C)‘R’(0x52)‘Q’(0x51)[CR](0x0D)

The camera responds to the read request, as follows (Data's max-length is 8 bytes):
Data
Data
Data
Data
Data
Data
Data
Data
8th byte 7th byte 6th byte 5th byte 4th byte 3rd byte 2nd byte 1st byte

[CR]
(0x0D)

Actually, the camera responds to the read request as minimum data length: For example, to read data 0x10 toaddress 0x91, the camera responds as follows:‘1’(0x31)‘0’(0x30)

AcquisitionControl features are related to image acquisition.
Acquisition frame rate is variable. Maximum acquisition frame rate depends on camera operation mode.
(scalable, CameraLink Tap, CameraLink CLK, etc.)

TriggerControl
TriggerControl features are related to image acquisition using trigger.
This camera series provides two kinds of exposure synchronization.
1. Normal Shutter mode

: Free run operation (internal synchronization)

2. Random Trigger Shutter mode

: Synchronized with external trigger input

In Random Trigger Shutter mode, two kinds of trigger input are available.
1. Trigger signal via the CC1
2. Trigger signal via the I/O connector
