JAI, Inc. Power Cables If you are using JAI, Inc. power cables such as the 12P-02S, please refer to the 12-pin connector pinout diagram below. The cable pin-out diagram is shown in Figure 49. The color-coded leads use Gray for Ground and Yellow for +12V. -
Page 14: Attaching The Camera Lens
RM/TM-2030GE 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
RM/TM-2030GE Series Operation Progressive Scanning The TM-2030GE uses a state-of-the-art progressive scanning interline transfer CCD which scans all lines sequentially from top to bottom at one frame rate. Like a non-interlace computer screen, it generates a stable, crisp image without alternating lines and provides full vertical TV resolution of 1000 lines (a normal TV monitor display may not be able to show 1000 lines due to monitor resolution of 30Hz scanning). -
Page 16: Bayer Color Filter (Color Versions)
3.2.1 Color Filter Array JAI, Inc. 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 17: 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 is exactly the same. Contact JAI, Inc. for further information regarding CCD manufacturers. -
Page 18: Sync And Data
RM/TM-2030GE Series 3.2.4 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 monochrome cameras. For a detailed timing chart, please refer to each monochrome camera’s data sheet and manual. -
Page 19: Color Interpolation
3 x 3 interpolation, 2 x 2 interpolation, color matrix, white balance capability, and so on. All AccuPiXEL color cameras are carefully designed for maximum color performance. JAI, Inc. strongly suggests that you use digital output for the best performance. -
Page 20: Programmable Look-Up Table (Lut) And Knee Control
RM/TM-2030GE Series 3.3.1 Programmable Look-Up Table (LUT) and Knee Control The TM-2030GE has a built-in LUT (look-up table) for dynamic range control. At a specific gain setting, the offset (minimum level..dark point) and A/D reference top voltage (maximum level... saturation point) are set to 12-bit A/D input so that the full dynamic range of the CCD is utilized at 12- bit references as the input and the LUT output is converted into either 8-bit or 10-bit to adjust the gamma correction. -
Page 21: Asynchronous Programmable Exposure Mode
RM/TM-2030GE Series Figure 10. External Trigger Timing. 3.5.3 Asynchronous Programmable Exposure Mode In Asynchronous Programmable Exposure Mode, when an external trigger is applied, the exposure starts after one discharge signal (Vsub), which happens after the trigger’s active edge is off. Because the discharge signal (Vsub) synchronizes with LDV in this mode, there is a maximum one video line of jitter between the trigger active edges to discharge signals (Vsub) off. -
Page 22: Pulse Width Control Mode
RM/TM-2030GE Series Figure 11. Asynchronous Programmable External Trigger 3.5.4 Pulse Width Control Mode In Pulse Width Control (PWC) Mode, the exposure time is controlled by the external trigger. When an external trigger is applied, one discharge signal (Vsub) is generated right after the active edge of the trigger. The exposure starts when the discharge signal is in the off state. -
Page 23: Particle Imaging Velocimetry Fixed Exposure Mode
RM/TM-2030GE Series 3.5.5 Particle Imaging Velocimetry Fixed Exposure Mode In Particle Imaging Velocimetry (PIV) Fixed Exposure Mode, when an external trigger is applied, the first time exposure starts the same as in PWC mode. It lasts a very short period (8μs). The second time exposure starts during the transferring time of the first image. -
