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 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)
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 9 TM-6760 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras 2.2.2 (e) Analog Output Connector The TM-6760 has a BNC connector on the rear panel to output analog video data. 2.2.3 Shutter Speed Control Dial (TM-6760 only) Shutter speed can be selected by switching the shutter dial to the appropriate setting (0 through 9).
78.74 in (2 meters) The TM-6760 camera uses the cable 30DG-02 from JAI, Inc. as a digital output cable. This cable has a 31-pin AirBorn connector on the camera end and a 37-pin D-sub male connector on the other end.
If you are providing power through the 12-pin connector, the PD-12UUP and PD-12UEP power supplies are available with the 12-pin mating connector already attached to the leads from the power supply. The PD-12UU or PD-12UE power supply can be connected to the JAI, Inc. power cable either directly or via a terminal strip.
JAI, Inc. Power Cables If you are using JAI, Inc. power cables such as the 12P-02S, please refer to the 12-pin connector pin-out diagram in “12-Pin Connector (TM-6760)” on page 6. The cable pin-out diagram is shown in Figure 7 below.
Page 13 TM-6760 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras 2.2.9 Attaching the Camera Lens The TM-6760 camera accepts 1/2" or larger format size C-mount lenses. To attach the C-mount lens to the camera, carefully engage the threads and rotate the lens clockwise until it firmly seats on the mounting ring.

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 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.
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).
