August 14, 2003 TMC-6700/1000 Series Progressive Scan CCD Digital Color Camera Operation Manual Models: TMC-1000, TMC-1000CL, TMC-6700, TMC-6700CL 1 Introduction 1.1 Product Description and Applications The TMC-6700/1000 series* cameras are digital process and output color video cameras which use a 1"(TMC-1000) and 1/2" (TMC-6700) high-resolution progressive scan interline transfer CCD.
PAGE 10
Page 2 Introduction The built-in Digital Signal Processor (DSP) is controlled via RS-232C communication for remotely adjusting color matrix, white balance, gain, edge enhancement, and other functions. • Progressive Scanning The TMC-6700/1000 series uses a state-of-the-art progressive scanning interline transfer CCD, which scans all lines sequentially from top to bottom at one frame rate (15Hz in TMC-1000, 60Hz in TMC-6700).
PAGE 11
Page 3 Introduction TMC-6700) per shutter or integration. The user can assign any shutter speed to any of the preset shutter positions. • Asynchronous reset and shutter The TMC-6700/1000 series cameras asynchronous reset operates with internal sync or external HD for phase locking. There are three modes to control the asynchronous reset and shutter speed. • Integration The CCD imager of the TMC-6700/1000 series can be exposed for longer than one frame duration (1/15 sec. TMC-1000; 1/60 sec. TMC-6700).

Page 15 Operation Note: TABLE 4. In order to avoid video problems, make sure that you turn the shutter-speed control dial quickly. If you turn the dial too slowly, the shutter may not expose for the proper period of time, resulting in either no video or bright video. If this happens, push the IWB RST switch on the rear panel or repeat the dial change at a faster speed.

The camera features four memory banks that store camera configuration parameters such as shutter speed, color matrix, white balance, gain, and edge enhancement. The first two banks, Bank1 and Bank2, can be selected via the Bank Switch on the back panel of the camera.
PAGE 31
Page 23 TMC-6700/1000 Series RS-232C Control 4.2 Basic Command Code 4.2.1 Set/Refresh RAM Bank Function: Set or refresh the RAM bank. Four user’s RAM banks are available from Bank 1 to Bank 4. Typical situations in which you may want to use this command are when you want to change to another RAM bank, and when you want to reflect changes after sending the shutter command, WB command, etc.
PAGE 32
Page 24 TMC-6700/1000 Series RS-232C Control D3 D2:0 Rear Panel Override Flag Ram Bank Number -1 (0, 1, 2 or 3) D3 is the rear panel override flag, indicating whether the software or the rear panel has priority regarding parameter control. Note: Once any rear panel switch is changed, rear panel control will take priority, and the configuration of all the rear panel switch settings will apply to the current image: 4.2.3 Save RAM Data Into EEPROM Function: Save all four RAM data banks into EEPROM.
PAGE 33
Page 25 TMC-6700/1000 Series RS-232C Control D0 D1 D7:0 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 8-bit data to update The first command code specifies the RAM address to write. The RAM address is shown in the Appendix, Section 6.3, “TMC-6700/1000 Series Control Parameter Address Map,” on page 36. The second command code specifies the new 8-bit data to overwrite. 4.2.6 Read 1 Byte From RAM Bank Function: Read 1 byte of data from the location of a specific address in the RAM bank.
PAGE 34
Page 26 TMC-6700/1000 Series RS-232C Control *Note: The byte order of the ADC offset, VCA gain and ADC Ref. Top is opposite to that which is actually seen. For instance, if the user needs to write 48 (00110000 in binary code) as the new VCA gain, the code for 48 must be sent (00001100). Note: The particular RAM bank may be set prior to write or read. The image will not be updated until you set (refresh) the RAM bank after the write or read operation. 4.3.
PAGE 35
Page 27 TMC-6700/1000 Series RS-232C Control 4.3.4 White Balance The white balance mode is saved in address 6 in RAM. If the internal WB mode is set, then the TMC6700/1000 series internally accumulates R and B white balance. If the external WB mode is set, then the external WB-R and WB-B offset are loaded from address 2B (hex) and 2A (hex) respectively. WBR and WB-B offsets can be updated by accessing addresses 2B and 2A (hex). WB-R and WB-B in these addresses are 2’s complement representation.
