Page 9: Hardware Introduction
Hardware Introduction Product Description The JAI TM-1327GE 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 1/21,000 second, can be reset asynchronously by external pulse control. The frame rate for a full image is 30 fps. - Page 10 RM/TM-1327GE Series • Electronic shutter The TM-1327GE has a substrate drain-type shutter mechanism which provides superb pictures at various speeds without smearing. • Asynchronous reset The TM-1327GE captures asynchronous reset images and provides single-shot video output with single FDV. This makes it simpler for an ordinary frame grabber to capture the asynchronous reset images.

Page 11: Installation
RM/TM-1327GE Series Installation The following instructions will help you to set up your camera quickly and easily. JAI suggests that you read through these instructions first, before you unpack and set up your camera system. Getting Started 2.1.1 Unpacking Instructions JAI recommends that you save the original packing cartons for the cameras and accessories in case you need to return or exchange an item. -
Page 12: Power Supplies And Power Cable Setup
RJ-45 Ethernet socket as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2. GigE Ethernet Connector Use at least cat5e UTP cables (cat6 cables are preferred). JAI recommends the use of shielded cables to reduce emissions and for CE/FCC compliance. Double-shielded cables further reduce emissions. 2.2.3 Power Supplies and Power Cable Setup 2.2.3.1... -
Page 13: Figure 3. 12P-02S Interface Cable (Optional)
2.2.3.2 JAI Power Cables If you are using JAI power cables, such as the 12P-02S, refer to the Figure 3 which shows the cable pin-out diagram and pinouts. The color-coded leads use Gray for Ground and Yellow for +12V. Figure 3. -
Page 14: Attaching The Camera Lens
RM/TM-1327GE Series Note: If using a power supply other than the standard PD-12U Series from JAI, certain characteristics are required of the power supply and the wiring in order to properly power the camera. The camera requires 12V immediately upon start-up; no slow ramps. Once power is applied, the power supply must be able to support a 2A to 2.5A in-rush current for approximately 200µs to prevent the voltage at the camera from... -
Page 15: Operation
3.2.1 Color Filter Array JAI 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 allows the camera to output accurate pixel data, including the color information. When the data is stored in the frame buffer of a frame grabber or computer, the color information is easily manipulated to restore the original color images. -
Page 16: 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 for further information regarding CCD manufacturers. Figure 5. -
Page 17: Sync And Data
LUT value. Gamma 0.45 is logarithmic and is close to human perception. When LUT is selected, black-level adjustment must be more accurate than for B/W cameras. For a detailed timing chart, please refer to the standard AccuPiXEL camera data sheet, or contact JAI. 3.2.6 Interpolation Software The color interpolation can be performed in the frame grabber or by using the host computer’s CPU. -
Page 18: Color Interpolation
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 strongly suggests that you use digital output for the best performance. -
Page 19: Async Programmable Shutter Speed Control
RM/TM-1327GE Series Figure 7. Async No Shutter 3.5.2 Async Programmable Shutter Speed Control The video signal starts with internal VINIT. When the external VINIT pulse is applied, internal VINIT is latched to HD and the internal VINIT is delayed to set up the shutter speed period. Video output timing starts right after the internal VINIT and single shots, FDV is output at the internal VINIT timing. -
