June 11, 1998 TM-1300 Progressive Scanning High Resolution Camera Operations Manual 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Product Description Compact and lightweight, the TM-1300 is a state-of-the-art CCD camera with a 2/3 inch 1.3K x 1K progressive scan interline transfer CCD imager. 1.2 Features • 1.3K x 1K progressive scan interline transfer CCD The advantages of this CCD are: • High resolution (1300 x 1030 active pixels) for very high resolution and image quality. Square pixels (6.7 x 6.
INTRODUCTION • Frame memory and digital output The TM-1300 has a built-in frame grabber and a frame memory. There are two modes of digital output available: Direct output mode: 10-bit output without going through an internal frame buffer (direct from the A/D converter via RS-422). Memory mode: 8-bit output with the internal frame buffer, to capture the asynchronous image inside of the camera. The 10-bit A/D converter provides 1024 gray levels with maximized signal-tonoise ratio.

INSTALLATION 2 INSTALLATION The following instructions are provided to help you to set up your video camera system quickly and easily. It is suggested that you read through these instructions prior to unpacking and setting up your camera system. 2.1 Getting Started 2.1.1 Unpacking Instructions It is recommended that the original packing cartons for the cameras and lenses be saved in case there is a need to return or exchange an item.
INSTALLATION 2.2 Camera Setup 2.2.1 Connector Pin Configurations 2.2.1 (a) 12-Pin Connector 1 The TM-1300 has a 12-pin connector for power input. Pin #1 is Ground and Pin #2 is +12V DC. The other pins handle a number of other input and output functions as detailed below.

INSTALLATION FIGURE 3. 12P-02 Interface Cable (optional) Flying Leads 32mm 1 2,000mm± 10mm (2 Meters) 1 PC-12P (Hirose Part #10A-10P-12S/PC12P) Note: Make sure that the unused leads are not touching and that there is no possibility that the leads could short due to exposed wires. 2.2.3 (c) Using the “K” Series Power Supplies Attach the 110V line cord to the two terminals marked “AC”. Do not plug the cord into a 110V AC socket until later in the procedure.
INSTALLATION Users wishing to output the video and input the power and sync to a camera over a single cable can use the PULNiX multi-conductor cables, such as the 12P-02, the KC-10, etc. The mini coaxial leads in PULNiX multi-conductor cables are designed for short runs of no longer than 100 feet. Note: Make sure that no extraneous wires are visible which could cause a short. 2.2.5 Attaching the Camera Lens The TM-1300 camera accepts standard C-mount lenses.
INSTALLATION 2.2.9 Connectors and Cables The digital output connector is optional. Mating connector ordering information is as follows: PULNiX Part No. 15-1623 (Airborn P/N: MP211-031-113-3400) Straight Backshell (cover): PULNiX Part No.15-1625 (Airborn P/N: MM253-031-000-4300) Cable assembly: Digital cable 30DG-02 (50-1301-01: 8-bit standard cable) or 30DG-02-40 (501224:10-bit cable). Special cable length or specific interface connector to a frame grabber board is available upon request.
OPERATION 3 OPERATION 3.1 Modes of Operation The TM-1300 is designed to accommodate a high resolution, on-line inspection reset mechanism with full frame shutter. It accepts external horizontal sync (HD, TTL Levels) to lock the camera and VINIT pulse for resetting the camera asynchronously. The shutter speed can be controlled by either RS-232 computer commands or internal shutter speed control with a 10-position dial switch on the back panel. 3.1.
OPERATION Mode 0: Mode 1-4: Mode 5-9: 3.1.1 (a) Normal Mode Fast Mode Slow Mode Direct Shutter Control Mode For Direct Shutter Control Mode, set the dial switch to “E”. When the up/down switch on the back plate is used, the shutter increments or decrements by 1H from the current setting. By controlling through RS-232C, the exact shutter speed can be programmed by feeding H number from 1H (actual shutter speed is 0.5H) to 1000H.
OPERATION FIGURE 4. Internal Reset Mode CCD VD External pulse min. 2H Hd Internal Vinit X Shutter Speed Transfer Gate Pulse Exposure Time Purge pulse (discharge) 3.1.2 Asynchronous Shutter For Async Shutter mode, select mode control switch #2 and press the up/down switch down. When the negative going reset pulse VINIT is applied to pin 6 of the 12-pin connector, the camera will latch the falling edge to its next horizontal drive and immediately reset the vertical sync timing.

If the switch is at normal mode (manual shutter mode), the video output is real time with manual shutter. Integration Activate EN INT (Enable Integration) of mode selection #8 by pushing down the switch then input INTEG control (#11 of 12-pin connector or #21 of 31-pin connector) as active low (TTL).

This phenomenon causes video picture rolling or bouncing on the monitor.
OPERATION 4 - up16 dB 4 - down22 dB 3.1.5 (e) 5. Image Output Format Selection The TM-1300 has three output connectors. The digital output is 10-bit or 8-bit from 31-pin connector and the analog outputs are SVGA format (DB-15 connector) and composite video (BNC connector) with sync. When Image Selection (mode #5) is selected by pushing the switch up, the Direct Digital Output mode is selected.
OPERATION 3.1.5 (g) 8. Freeze (ENINT) Enable The internal frame buffer can freeze the image by selecting this function. When the up/down switch is pushed up, it is a real time image. When it is down, it freezes the final image. This freeze mode is also used for integration control. At freeze mode, the TM-1300 can be used to integrate (log exposure) by controlling INTEG control input on 12-pin connector (pin #11).
