Configuring Cameras
Some of the cameras supported for use with the MVS-8100L require switch settings to
work best with Cognex software, as described in the following sections.
Configuring Sony XC-ES50 Cameras
The MVS-8100L supports the use of the Sony XC-ES50 family of cameras, including the
XC-ES50 and XC-ES50CE. If you purchase your XC-ES50 cameras from Cognex, they
arrive ready to use. If you purchase your XC-ES50 from a third party, you must configure
the camera as shown in this section.
Figure 8 shows the back panel of the Sony XC-ES50 camera with the switches in their
factory default position.

To configure the switches for the Sony XC-ES50 camera:
1. Configure the 10-position DIP switch as shown in Figure 8.
Note You can set switch 5 to ON in factory default mode to use field
integration rather than frame integration (single field and
half-resolution video formats only).
2. Set the manual gain switch in the fully vertical position.
3. Set the HD/VD switch to external (EXT).
4. Set the 75Ω switch to ON.
