    Operation Manual Introduction 1.1 Product Description The JAI, Inc. TM-6760 series are VGA format, high-speed monochrome progressive scan CCD cameras. The progressive interline-type CCD permits full vertical and horizontal resolution of very high speed shutter images and applications. The electronic shutter, which has speeds to 1/32,000 sec., can be reset asynchronously by external pulse control.

    Page 2 TM-6760 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras 1.2 Features • Miniaturized and lightweight The printed circuit boards in the TM-6760 have been arranged with a new design philosophy in mind. This creates modular electronics for the camera, giving it flexibility. In addition, the use of miniature solid-state components results in a compact, lightweight camera that is 44mm x 44mm x 64mm in dimensions, and weighs only 138 grams.
  • Page 13: Functional Options

    Page 3 TM-6760 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras • Output The TM-6760 has an 8-bit RS-644 (LVDS) digital output for interfacing with external image- processing systems. The TM-6760 camera is also available with RS-422 digital output as an option (OP-93). The TM-6760CL has a Camera Link output. The analog output is 1.0 Vp-p composite video (75 ohms).

    2.1.3 Accessories and Options Following is a list of additional accessories and options that may be required for your application. Please check with your JAI, Inc. representative before you install your camera to determine what you might need. • Digital output cable (not required for “CL” version)
  • Page 16: Camera Setup

    The TM-6760 camera is a compact 648K x 484K camera. Since all the electronics have been packed in a compact package, the outer case of the camera gets hot due to heat dissipation. JAI, Inc. recommends the following procedure for optimal performance of the camera: Mount the camera on a large heat sink (camera bracket) made out of conductive material like aluminum.

    Page 17 TM-6760 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras 3.3 Progressive Scanning Standard TV-system scanning is 525 lines interlace scanning as specified in the RS-170 protocol. Every other horizontal line (odd lines and even lines) is scanned at a 60Hz rate per field, and the scanning is completed with two fields (one frame) at 30Hz rate.
  • Page 28: Integration

    Page 18 TM-6760 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras 3.5 Integration The CCD imager of the TM-6760 can be exposed for longer than the normal scan timing of 1/60 sec. This integration feature provides extra sensitivity for dark-environment applications. The progressive- scan imager permits a full frame of resolution in non-interlace format.

    On-chip micro lenses mean increased sensitivity. 3.11.1 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.
  • Page 34: Starting Pixel Configuration

    AccuPiXEL color cameras can use that configuration file to operate. The configuration file may vary, depending on whether the output is standard (RS-644) or Camera Link. Please consult JAI, Inc., or your framegrabber supplier for compatibility information. The following diagram is an example of the TMC-6760 (same as TM-6760).
