Page 37: Hardware Introduction
“Features” on page 30 6.1 Product Description The JAI PULNiX TM-1405GE is a high-speed progressive scan CCD camera. The 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 second., can be reset asynchronously by external pulse control. -
Page 38: Features
Page 30 Hardware Introduction 6.2 Features The TM-1405GE has the following features: • Miniature size and light weight The printed circuit boards in the TM-1405GE have been arranged to create modular electronics, giving the camera flexibility. In addition, the use of miniature solid-state components results in a compact, lightweight camera that is 50.8mm x 50.8mm x 83.5mm in dimensions, and weighs only 212 grams. -
Page 39: Installation

Page 40: Camera Setup
The TM-1405GE is a compact camera. Since all the electronics have been packed in a compact package, the outer case of the camera can become hot because of heat dissipation. For optimal performance, JAI PULNiX recommends using a cooling fan to set up a positive air flow around the camera and following the precautions below. -
Page 41: Power Supplies And Power Cable Setup
If you are providing power through the 12-pin connector, the PD-12P, PD-12UEP and PD-12UUP power supplies are available with the 12-pin mating connector already attached to the leads from the power supply. You can connect the PD-12UU and PD-12UE power supplies to the JAI PULNiX power cable using a terminal strip or directly. - Page 42 JAI PULNiX Power Cables If you are using JAI PULNiX power cables, such as the 12P-02S, refer to the Figure 29 which shows the cable pin-out diagram and pinouts. The color-coded leads use Gray for Ground and Yellow for +12V.

Page 46: Bayer Color Filter (Color Versions)
On-chip micro lenses mean increased sensitivity. 8.2.1 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. -
Page 47: Starting Pixel Configuration
R/G start or G/R start, as well as G/B start and B/G start. Once the correct scanning is configured, the rest of the interpolation will be exactly the same. Please contact JAI PULNiX for further information regarding CCD manufacturers. -
Page 48: Sync And Data
Page 40 Operation 8.2.4 Sync and Data The individual color data is exactly the same as the pixel data. This means that the timing relationships of the color cameras are also the same as of the B/W cameras. For a detailed timing chart, please refer to each B/W camera’s data sheet and manual. The following diagram is an example of the TMC-4100GE default mode. -
Page 49: Interpolation Software
3 x 3 interpolation, 2 x 2 interpolation, color matrix, white balance capability, etc. All AccuPiXEL color cameras are carefully designed for maximum color performance. JAI PULNiX strongly suggests that you use digital output for the best performance. -
Page 50: External Sync
Page 42 Operation lines of vertical resolution, as compared to a conventional CCD camera which captures only half the vertical lines per shutter. 8.4 External Sync The TM-1405GE accepts an external synchronization of standard HD and VD on CC3 and CC4 of the Gigabit Ethernet connector for general locking to an external source. -
