Page 3: Overview
Overview The XCD-MV6 digital video camera module employs the IEEE1394b-2002 standard and is equipped with quality digital camera features. Despite its compact size, this camera is equipped with a host of features such as digital signal processing in the camera which reduces the load of image processing in a PC, bus synchronization, and broadcast delivery of commands. -

Note Clean the optical filter with a commercially available blower brush to remove dust. Connecting the camera cable Connect a commercially available IEEE1394b camera cable to the IEEE1394b connector and the 1394b interface connector of your PC. -
Page 8: Notes On Operation
Notes on Operation Power supply Power is supplied to the camera module via the IEEE1394b cable connected to a PC. If the power supply is insufficient, use the DC-700/700CE that supplies stable power with less ripple or noise. Foreign bodies Be careful not to spill liquids, or drop any flammable or metal objects in the camera body. -
Page 9: Strobe/Gpio Circuit
Strobe/GPIO Circuit Strobe Output / GPIO Circuit The Strobe output and GPIO circuit is configured as follows. Be sure to take note of this before use. Strobe output circuit This is a strobe output circuit diagram. This is a standard CMOS level output (5 V). The camera is equipped with a protective resistor of 220 Ω. -
Page 10: Functions
Functions Shutter This camera allows users to set manual shutter speeds. The variable range extends from 20 microseconds to 1 seconds; relative values are indicated by a 12-bit integer, and absolute values are indicated using a 32-bit floating point value. When setting an exposure time longer than the cycle of the set frame rate, it sets to long exposure time mode and the actual frame rate is reduced in accordance with the... -
Page 11: Trigger Mode
Trigger Mode This camera support 2 trigger modes: 0 and 1. Trigger mode 0 Trigger mode 0 starts exposure by detecting the edge of a trigger signal. The exposure time is determined by the shutter parameter. Trigger mode 0 (negative polarity) Trigger Exposure Trigger mode 1... -
Page 12: Broadcast Command
Broadcast Command The normal 1394 communication method specifies the node number at the host side so that only a specified camera responds to the command. If the node number is set to 63, all the cameras connected to the same bus can receive the command simultaneously, i.e., only one command issued from the host can control multiple cameras at the same time. -
Page 13: Pan
Pan is a function used to move a camera left and right. However this camera supports a video mode much smaller than the image sensor’s effective pixels by cutting out images from the whole screen. You can specify the portion to be cut out using Pan commands. The variable range differs according to the selected video mode. -
Page 14: Partial Scan
Partial Scan The partial scan is a function for outputting part of a whole image as a region of interest on the whole image. Based on the unit cell as the unit, continuous parts can be selected. Only rectangles can be selected. The screen cannot be cut in convex and L shapes. -
Page 15: Pseudo-Binning Mode
Pseudo-Binning Mode This feature compresses images in units of 2 pixels and multiplies the frame rate speed in the vertical direction only. There are two types of binning: 1 × 2 binning when the output image is compressed in the vertical direction only, and 2 ×... -
Page 16: Control
Control Camera Command Status Register This camera complies with IIDC 1394-based Digital Camera Specification, Version 1.32 (hereinafter referred to as IIDC v1.32). The standards document can be purchased from 1394TA (the 1394 Trade Association). As it is very helpful in understanding the explanations in this Technical Manual, we recommend that you purchase a copy of IIDC v1.32. -
Page 17: Configurationrom
The serial number and firmware version of the camera are stored in ConfigurationROM to be used when required. Note that the setting method for the serial number and firmware version information is of Sony’s unique specification and is not compatible with cameras of other manufacturers. - Page 18 Vender Name Leaf 464h 468h 470ch For offset address 464h, the length of the VendorNameLeaf is 3 Quadlets.

Page 20: Oneshot, Multishot And Imagebuffer
OneShot, MultiShot and ImageBuffer This camera supports both OneShot, MultiShot and ImageBuffer commands. With a OneShot command, after outputting just one single-frame live image is output. With a MultiShot command, the specified number of images are output. ImageBuffer outputs a specified number of images stored in the camera. -
Page 21: Control Of Iidc Standard Features
Control of IIDC Standard Features Before transmitting the control command, check the variable ranges of settings and if there is an automatic mode for each feature. As the variable ranges of the settings vary with video modes for the Pan and Tilt features, be sure to check them if the video mode is changed. -

Read F0F40000 to check the recording status. 01000000 indicates during recording, and 010100nn indicates recording has stopped. Set trigger mode to OFF. Secure the isochronous resource and start video. The recorded images are output continuously. If trigger mode remains ON, one image is output each time a trigger is input. -
Page 28: Pseudo-Binning Mode Sensitivity
This is attributable to the basics of the image sensor and is not a malfunction. Pseudo-binning mode sensitivity Binning mode included in XCD-V60/SX90/U100 can increase sensitivity because it adds a vertical direction signal. In contrast, the pseudo-binning mode included in this camera outputs dark pixels or the average value of the vertical direction 2 pixels, so sensitivity never increases. -
