Designed to comply with the pin-out of Sony's discontinued XC-55BB camera, Sony's new two piece, black and white progressive scan video camera - the XC-56BB - incorporates a 1/3-type progressive scan CCD that produces detailed, VGA resolution image (647 x 493 pixels) at a high frame rate (30 frame per second/60 frames per second binned). Designed in a miniature body, the new XC-56BB camera inherits all the outstanding features of the XC-56 camera, but it is "form fitted" to the XC-55BB camera body.
