May 2, 2005 TM-1400 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras Operation Manual 1 Introduction 1.1 Product Description The PULNiX TM-1400 series consists of high-resolution, high-speed progressive scan CCD cameras.* The progressive interline-type CCD permits full vertical and horizontal resolution of very high speed shutter images and applications. The electronic shutter, which has speeds to 1/16,000 sec., can be reset asynchronously by external pulse control.
Page 2 Introduction 1.2 Features • Miniaturized and lightweight The printed circuit boards in the TM-1400 have been arranged based on a design philosophy that creates modular electronics for the camera, giving it flexibility. In addition, the use of miniature solid-state components results in a compact, lightweight camera that is 44mm x 44mm x 64mm in dimensions, and weighs only 138 grams.
Page 3 Introduction • Integration The TM-1400 is capable of capturing high-resolution integration images. Its CCD imager can be exposed for longer than the normal scan timing of 1/30 sec. This integration feature provides extra sensitivity for applications in dark environments. The progressive scan imager permits a full frame of resolution in non-interlace format.

Page 5 Installation 2 Installation The following instructions are provided to help you to set up your camera quickly and easily. We suggest that you read through these instructions before you unpack and set up your camera system. 2.1 Getting Started 2.1.1 Unpacking Instructions We recommend that you save the original packing cartons for the cameras and accessories in case you need to return or exchange an item.
Page 6 Installation recommends using a cooling fan to set up a positive air flow around the camera, and following the precautions below: • Mount the camera on a large heat sink (camera bracket) made out of a conductive material such as aluminum. • Make sure the flow of heat from the camera case to the bracket is not blocked by a non-conducting material like plastic. • Make sure the camera has enough open space around it to facilitate the free flow of air. 2.2.2 2.2.2 (a) FIGURE 3.
Page 7 Installation 2.2.2 (c) Digital Output Connector (TM-1400 only) The TM-1400 has a 31-pin AirBorn connector (MP211-031-113-4300) on the rear panel to output 8-bit, RS-644 video data. The connector pin-out is shown in the figure below. FIGURE 4. 31-Pin Digital Connector on Rear Panel of Camera (TM-1400 only) 1 16 17 31 Note: TABLE 3. CLK: data clock, LDV: Line Data Valid, FDV: Frame Data Valid, INTEG: Integration control, EXT CLK: external pixel clock, []: Differential input option.
Page 8 Installation 2.2.2 (d) Camera Link Connector The TM-1400CL has a 26-pin MDR26 connector (3M part number 10226-6212VC) on the rear panel to output Camera Link data. The connector pin-out is shown in Table 4 below. 13 1 26 TABLE 4. 14 Connector Pinout Configurations (10226-6212 VC) Camera Link Connector MDR 26-pin Connector 10226-6212VC Note: 2.2.
Page 9 Installation 2.2.3 Shutter Speed Control Dial (TM-1400 only) Shutter speed can be selected by switching the shutter dial to the appropriate setting (0 through 9). The factory default settings correspond to the shutter speeds as shown in below. TABLE 5. Shutter Speed Control Dial 8 7 9 0 1 2 3 6 5 4 Shutter Exposure Time (Seconds) 2.2.4 FIGURE 5.

This cable has a 31-pin AirBorn connector on the camera end and a 37-pin D-sub male connector on the other end. Contact your JAI PULNiX representative regarding availability of interface cables for specific frame grabber models.
Page 11 Installation 2.2.6 Camera Link Cable (CL Versions Only) The MDR26 cable assembly (26CL-02-26) from 3M (part number 10226-6212VC) has been standardized as the Camera Link cable. This cable has the 26-pin MDR26 connector on both ends. This is a straight-through cable. The pin-out configuration is shown in Table 4 on page 8.
Page 12 Installation When wiring the PD-12UU power supply directly, please note the following: • The lead ends must be twisted together and tin-soldered for strength and electrical continuity. • Shrink tubing or a similar insulator should be used to prevent exposed leads from touching and shorting. • The +12V lead is marked with a red stripe or white lettering; be sure not to reverse the leads. • All connections must be properly insulated to prevent shorting. 2.2.
Page 13 Installation 2.2.8 Attaching the Analog Video Output When connecting the TM-1400 to an analog frame grabber or a multisync monitor, use the BNC connector on the rear panel of the camera. The input of the monitor should be balanced for 75 ohms termination. Standard RG-59 type coaxial cable should carry a full video signal for up to 100 feet. The multi-conductor cable 12P-02S from JAI PULNiX can be used to transmit analog video, power, sync. signals, and serial communication.

Page 17 Operation The TM-1400 outputs the progressive scan image with an electronic shutter in two different formats: • Progressive scanning digital and analog output The CCD signal goes through A/D and D/A converters and through 10-bit in, 8-bit out look-up table (LUT). The digital output is available from 31-pin connector with RS-644 format (50MHz clock rate). The analog output is the same as 75 ohms, 1Vp-p format at 30Hz rate available from BNC and 12pin connector.

Page 21 Operation 3.9.1 Color Filter Array JAI PULNiX AccuPiXEL cameras use Bayer CFA (color filter array) as their standard primary color filter. This filter provides the most popular color interpolation supported by numerous software suppliers. The digital format, either Camera Link or RS-644, allows the camera to output accurate pixel data, including the color information.
Page 22 Operation 3.9.3 Starting Pixel Configuration All manufacturers produce identical Bayer CFAs, but there are slight differences between the CCDs produced by different manufacturers. The first line is generally R and G. The Sony CCD starts with R. The camera timing can be adjusted to start with either G or R by skipping the very first pixels at each lines.
