The frame rate is 8 fps. The TM-2016-8 has a full dynamic range control function, which can be set at externally selectable look-up table (LUT) knee slopes to convert 10-bit input to 8-bit output, thereby optimizing the CCD’s full dynamic range in the normal output signal range.
• Miniaturized and lightweight The printed circuit boards in the TM-2016-8 have been arranged based on a new design philosophy that 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 136 grams (CL version 141 grams).
1.3 Functional Options • Adjustable back-focus front end. • Pixel clock locking *. Pixel clock locking not available at time of publishing. Please check with JAI, Inc. for current availability. Introduction...

2.2.1 Heat Dissipation The TM-2016-8 camera from JAI, Inc., is a compact 2K by 1K camera. Since all the electronics have been packed in a compact package, the outer case of the camera gets hot due to heat dissipation. For optimal performance, JAI, Inc.
• Make sure the camera has enough open space around it to facilitate the free flow of air. Please contact JAI, Inc. at (800) 445-5444 or send an email to imaging@jai.com if you have any questions. 2.2.2 Connector Pin Configurations 2.2.2 (a)
The TM-2016-8 Camera Link cameras have a 12-pin Hirose connector for power input and signal I/O. Pin #1 is Ground and pin #2 is +12V DC. The pinout table is shown below. For TM-2016-8 Camera Link model cameras, serial communication camera control is done via the MDR26 Camera Link connector on the rear panel of the camera.
Integration control; EXT CLK: external pixel clock; [ ]: Differential input option The TM-2016-8 Camera Link models have a 26-pin MDR26 connector on the rear panel to output Camera Link data. The connector pin-out is shown in Table 4 below.
INTEG- a. RS-232 optional (custom camera) 2.2.2 (e) Analog Output Connector The TM-2016-8 has a BNC connector on the rear panel to output analog video data. See Section 2.2.4 on page 10 for additional information on analog video output. Installation...
The RS-232 controller set CS-232E includes the RS-232B-12 interface cable, the software disk, and a quick-start card. The TM-2016-8 camera’s built-in look-up table (LUT) can be controlled by an external RS-232 interface. The camera settings can be programmed or changed using the communication cable and software.
78.74 in (2 meters) The TM-2016-8 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.
2.2.7 (b) 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-2016-8)” on page 6. The cable pin-out diagram is shown in Figure 6 below.
Attaching the Analog Video Output When connecting the TM-2016-8 to an analog frame grabber or a monitor, use the BNC connector on the rear panel of the camera. The input of the monitor should be balanced for 75¾ termination. Standard RG-59 type coaxial cable should carry a full video signal for up to 500 feet.

HDTV-format camera, since it has interlaced scanning and the vertical resolution of the shuttered image is 500 lines. The TM-2016-8 uses a state-of-the-art progressive scanning interline transfer CCD which scans all lines sequentially from top to bottom at one frame rate (8Hz). Like a non-interlace computer screen, it generates a stable, crisp image without alternating lines and provides full vertical TV resolution of 1080 lines.
TM-2016-8 and TM-2016-8CL Progressive Scan Shutter Camera 3.5 Integration The CCD imager of the TM-2016-8 can be exposed for longer than the normal scan timing of 1/8 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. Integration is achieved by controlling the #11 pin of the 12-pin connector to low (GND) or providing pulse-width control up to 3 sec.
Even though each camera runs with slightly different H and data clock timing, the image capturing is exactly simultaneous. The TM-2016-8 has also read-out-inhibit (ROI) to control the vertical clock to start. When the ROI is low, V-clock is stopped and the transferred charges remain in the vertical shift registers, which work as if they were CCD memory.

The range is limited by the structure and the pixel size. The TM-2016-8 uses a 1” CCD with 7.4 µm x 7.4 µm pixel and two-phase vertical shift register structure. The well capacity is 50,000 electrons. The theoretical dynamic range is 50,000:40 = 1250:1 (62 dB).
3.9 External Sync and Pixel Locking The TM-2016-8 accepts an external sync of standard HD and VD at TTL level for general locking to a system sync and clock. The external sync is only available for 8-frame mode and the frequency requirement is as follows: fHD = 9.09 KHz ±5%...
