Page 11: Software Introduction
Software Introduction 1.1 Scope of the Document This manual describes how to access and use features specific to JAI PULNiX's Gigabit Ethernet camera, the TM-4100GE. The camera’s different operation modes are described in the hardware section of this manual, which begins on page 31. -
Page 12: Software Installation
Communication with a GigE camera is completely transparent to the user, so if you are used to working with Camera Link® or the JAI Cam2Net adapter, you will find it very easy to migrate. The TM-4100GE camera has internal frame memory, which sends only the actual image data using the Gigabit Ethernet interface. -

The program initiates a driver scan. Allow the network card driver installation at this time. (If you cancel the installation for some reason this dialog box can be accessed at a later time; go to “Start” --> “Programs” --> “JAI AS” --> “Launch Driver Installation Tool” to launch the driver install). -
Page 14: Uninstalling The Software
1.4.4 Uninstalling the Software To uninstall the JAI PULNiX GigE camera-control software from the control panel, use the following steps: Open “Add or Remove Programs” in the control panel. Select “JAI Cam2Net” from the lists of the installed software. -

Note: the color version (TMC-4100GE) requires color interpolation to be performed in the frame grabber or by using the host computer’s CPU. In default mode, the camera supports 2 x 2 color interpolation. For better color performance, the user can select 3 x 3 interpolation in the Camera TM-4100GE Software... - Page 16 “Use 3 x 3 Bayer Interpolation” in the “Conversion Options” panel. More information on color interpolation and the color filter array (CFA) can be found in Section 8.2 beginning on page 38 of this manual. TM-4100GE Software...

1. Unless otherwise stated, all information in this manual applies to both cameras in the TM-4100GE series, the TM-4100GE and the TMC-4100GE. 2. The TM-4100GE is available with either 8-bit processing or 10-bit processing. You must specify your choice of configurations when you purchase the camera. -
Page 42: Features
• Miniature size and light weight The printed circuit boards in the TM-4100GE have been arranged to create modular electronics, giving the camera flexibility. In addition, the use of miniature solid-state components results in a compact, lightweight camera that is 50.8mm x 50.8mm x 81.5mm in dimensions, and weighs only 155 grams. - Page 43 Output The TM-4100GE has a dual-tap 10-bit/8-bit Gigabit Ethernet output. • Dual-channel auto black level balancing and semi-auto gain balancing The TM-4100GE, as a dual-tap output camera, has auto black level balancing and semi-auto gain balancing functions. • Integration The TM-4100GE is capable of capturing high-resolution integration images. Its CCD imager can be exposed for longer than the normal scan timing of 1/15 sec.

Page 45: Camera Setup
7.2.1 Heat Dissipation The TM-4100GE is a compact 2k by 2k camera. Since all the electronics have been packed in a compact package, the outer case of the camera can become hot due to heat dissipation. For optimal performance, JAI PULNiX recommends using a cooling fan to set up a positive air flow around the camera and following the precautions below. -
Page 46: Power Supplies And Power Cable Setup
Power Supplies and Power Cable Setup 7.2.3 (a) Power Supplies The TM-4100GE camera requires 12V DC power that is obtained through the 12-pin connector located on the rear panel of the camera. JAI PULNiX recommends the following power supplies: PD-12UU 100-240V AC/12V DC 1.2A universal voltage power supply,... -

Gigabit Ethernet connector. Full Progressive Scan Normal scanning mode for the TM-4100GE is 2k x 2k pixels. The standard speed with dual-channel output is 15 frame/sec at the pixel clock of 40 MHz. The progressive scan reads every line from top to bottom and all lines are exposed with a single electronic shutter. -
Page 51: Bayer Color Filter (Color Versions)
On-chip micro lenses mean increased sensitivity. 8.2.1 Color Filter Array JAI PULNiX 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 52: 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 PULNiX for further information regarding CCD manufacturers. Example of Color CCD CFA Pattern FIGURE 30. -

LUT value. Gamma 0.45 is logarithmic and is closed 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 PULNiX. 8.2.6 Interpolation Software The color interpolation can be performed in the frame grabber or by using the host computer’s CPU. -
Page 55: Integration
8.4 Integration The CCD imager of the TM-4100GE can be exposed for longer than the normal scan timing of 1/200 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 CC2 Camera Control line through the Gigabit Ethernet cable to low (GND) or providing pulse-width control up to 1 sec. -
Page 56: Async No Shutter
Vinit trigger starts the first exposure period within one line (1H = 32.5 μsec.) and transfers the frame after a 9.5H exposure. After the first transfer, a new full frame exposure period (67.6 μsec.) begins. Async No Shutter allows for strobe and back-to-back strobing (strobing both before the transfer gate and right after) applications. TM-4100GE Hardware... -
Page 57: Internal Shutter Speed Control
HD and the internal VINIT is delayed to set up the shutter speed period. The shutter speed is controlled by communication software from “1” to “8.” Video output timing starts right after the internal VINIT and single shots, FDV is output at the internal VINIT timing. TM-4100GE Hardware... -
Page 58: External Vinit With Pulse Width (No-Delay Shutter) And Roi
Analog Video Sync Vsync The TM-4100GE camera also has read-out-inhibit control (ROI) to control the vertical clock start (Async Shutter #9). When ROI is low, V-clock is stopped and the transferred charges remain in the vertical shift registers, which work like CCD memory. When the ROI is high, it clocks out the CCD data. -
Page 59: Dynamic Range Control
The range is limited by the structure and the pixel size. The TM-4100GE uses a CCD with 7.4 µm x 7.4 µm pixel and two-phase vertical shift register structure. The well capacity is 40,000 electrons. The theoretical dynamic range is 40,000:30 = 1333:1 (60 dB). -
Page 60: Programmable Look-Up Table (Lut) And Knee Control
8.7.1 Programmable Look-Up Table (LUT) and Knee Control The TM-4100GE 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 10-bit A/D input so that the full dynamic range of the CCD is utilized at 10-bit references as the input and the LUT output is converted into 8-bit to adjust the gamma correction. -
