June 15, 1998 TM-200 / TM-300 Miniature CCD Camera Operations Manual 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Product Description The TM-200/300 is designed to be a simple yet high quality camera capable of meeting a variety of application requirements. Featuring an advanced Had-type interline transfer 1/2" CCD imager, this miniaturized high resolution camera offers many standard and optional features at a very affordable price. It is available in both EIA (TM-200) and CCIR (TM-300) formats. 1.
INTRODUCTION • Precise image geometry. On the CCD image sensor, the photosensor elements form exact rows both horizontally and vertically so that a very precise image geometry may be obtained. • Low lag/high resistance to image burning. Since the CCD is highly resistant to image burning, the camera may be exposed to bright objects for a long period of time. Because a “smear” phenomena may occur when shooting a very bright object, an infrared cutoff filter is recommended to obtain a clear picture.
INTRODUCTION 1.4 Applications The miniature size of the TM-200/TM-300 camera eliminates the need for a remoted imager camera in all but the most confined spaces. This camera fits easily, both physically and functionally, into all types of machine vision, automated inspection, and related applications. Other uses include remotely piloted vehicles, miniature inspection devices, surveillance, microscopes and medical equipment. 1.
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 Confi gurations 2.2.1 (a) 12-Pin Connector 1 The TM-200 has a 12-pin connector for power input. Generally, Pin #1 is Ground and Pin #2 is +12V DC. The other pins handle a number of other input and output functions, which will be discussed further in other sections.
INSTALLATION FIGURE 2.
INSTALLATION 2.2.3 Attaching the Video Output Most users utilize the BNC connector for video output from the camera. Connect the output from the camera to the input of your monitor, VCR or switching device. The input of the monitor should be balanced for 75Ω termination. Standard RG-59 type coaxial cable should carry a full video signal for up to 500 feet.
INSTALLATION 2.2.8 Connectors and Cables 12-pin connector and cable: Standard cable is 12P-02 (2m, 8 conductor cable) for power and external controls.
OPERATION 3 OPERATION 3.1 Modes of Operation 3.1.1 External Switches FIGURE 3. TM-200 Rear Panel Gamma switch Up = 1.0 Down = 0.45 AGC/MGC switch Up = AGC (Automatic Gain Control) Down = MGC (Manual Gain Control) * When MGC is selected, the camera gain is adjustable with the potentiometer on the back plate. FLD/FRM Switch Up = FLD (Field Mode) Down = FRM (Frame Mode) * Select FRM for strobe applications and FLD for high shutter speed applications. SHUTTER SPEED GAIN 9 0 1 8 2 3 7 6 5 4 VIDEO 1.
OPERATION 3.1.3 (a) Field Mode In Field Mode, two horizontal rows are scanned together, changing the pair at each interlace scan. The sensitivity of the CCD is doubled for one field of integration, therefore it can obtain the same sensitivity as in Frame Mode in half the period of time. This is an advantage when the shutter is used often. Because of the alternating two row scanning, Moire is almost unnoticeable.

OPERATION 3.1.7 Interfacing to Frame Grabbers 12-pin connector or BNC. 3.1.8 Sync Output and Clock Output TTL level internal sync and buffered pixel clock output (14.31818MHz) are available from the TM-200/ TM-300 camera. The signal is an emitter follower output requiring a termination resistor at the end of the cable. The suggested value is from 75Ω to 330Ω. 3.2 Board Layout and Adjustment 3.2.1 Processor Board Connect Processor Board to test jig and check all functions.

APPENDIX The Flange Back Length of the CS-Mount is 12.5mm versus 17.526 of the C-Mount. The shorter Flange Back Length of the “CS-Mount” allows room for the stripe filter incorporated in the color camera. Additionally, the shorter Flange Back Length allows for reduction of the effective diameter of the first lens and reduces the number of lens elements. The common C-Mount lens is completely compatible with a CS-Mount camera when a 5mm extension ring is inserted between the lens and the camera. FIGURE 11.
