    Overview Overview The XC-56BB is a black-and-white video camera Electronic shutter module using a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor. You can choose from FL (flickerless) mode and a wide range of image speeds (1/125 to 1/15000 s) for the best match to shooting conditions.

    There are two more reference holes on the front of the Note top surface. • The XC-56BB head unit (CHU) must have the same serial number as the control unit (CCU). • Do not connect or disconnect the supplied cable while the power is turned on, otherwise the camera may be damaged.
