High Resolution Camera Operations Manual INTRODUCTION 1.1 Product Description Compact and lightweight, the TM-1300 is a state-of-the-art CCD camera with a 2/3 inch 1.3K x 1K progressive scan interline transfer CCD imager. 1.2 Features • 1.3K x 1K progressive scan interline transfer CCD The advantages of this CCD are: High resolution (1300 x 1030 active pixels) for very high resolution and image quality.
• Frame memory and digital output The TM-1300 has a built-in frame grabber and a frame memory. There are two modes of digital output available: Direct output mode: 10-bit output without going through an internal frame buffer (direct from the A/D converter via RS-422).

2.1.3 Accessories Following is a list of additional accessories or equipment that may be recommended or required for your particular application. Please check with your PULNiX representative prior to the installation of your video system to determine what you might need.
2.2.1 Connector Pin Configurations 2.2.1 (a) 12-Pin Connector The TM-1300 has a 12-pin connector for power input. Pin #1 is Ground and Pin #2 is +12V DC. The other pins handle a number of other input and output functions as detailed below.

2.2.3 (b) Using PULNiX Power Cables If you are using PULNiX power cables, such as the 12P-02, KC-10, etc., please refer to the pin-out diagram. The color coded leads use Grey for Ground and Yellow for +12V DC. TM-1300 Progressive Scanning High Resolution Camera...
VCR or switching device. The input of the monitor should be balanced for 75Ω termination. Standard RG-59 type coaxial cable should carry a full video signal for up to 500 feet. Page 8 TM-1300 Progressive Scanning High Resolution Camera...
flangebacks may exceed the mounting depth of the camera. 2.2.6 Back Focusing the Lens To backfocus the TM-1300 camera, first attach a C-mount lens in the lens mount. Be sure that the lens is properly mounted. Set the lens focus to infinity (if the lens is a manual iris, set the iris to a high f-stop while still retaining a well-illuminated image).
INSTALLATION 2.2.9 Connectors and Cables The digital output connector is optional. Mating connector ordering information is as follows: PULNiX Part No. 15-1623 (Airborn P/N: MP211-031-113-3400) Straight Backshell (cover): PULNiX Part No.15-1625 (Airborn P/N: MM253-031-000-4300) Cable assembly: Digital cable 30DG-02 (50-1301-01: 8-bit standard cable) or 30DG-02-40 (50- 1224:10-bit cable).
10-position dial switch on the back panel. 3.1.1 Shutter Control Switch The TM-1300's asynchronous reset is flexible and takes external HD for phase locking. Applying a VINIT pulse resets the camera's scanning and purging of the CCD. Do not supply VD if the asynchronous reset is used.

VINIT timing, which is latched to Hd, and video output is also synchronized with internal VINIT timing without further delay. The shutter speed is controlled by the dial switch. Page 12 TM-1300 Progressive Scanning High Resolution Camera...
Therefore, the horizontal pulse phase will not be interrupted. The TM-1300 asynchronous camera outputs a full frame of shuttered video in progressive scanning format from a frame buffer. The frame buffer is updated with each new image captured upon receiving the next negative reset pulse.
Integration video is continuously output until the next capture. Normally, a camera cannot output the video signal during the integration, and the periodic integration causes a blinking video signal. The TM-1300 memory keeps the stored image until the next image is completed so that there is no blank interval during integration.
INTEG control (#11 of 12-pin connector or #21 of 31-pin connector) as active low (TTL). When it is low, the TM-1300 keeps integrating and, upon the rising edge of the INTEG control pulse, it captures the frame and keeps it until next end of integration. When EN INT is high (open), video...

4 - down22 dB 3.1.5 (e) 5. Image Output Format Selection The TM-1300 has three output connectors. The digital output is 10-bit or 8-bit from 31-pin connector and the analog outputs are SVGA format (DB-15 connector) and composite video (BNC connector) with sync.

3.1.5 (l) F. Fast Dump One of the unique features of the TM-1300 is the capability of fast dump charges kept inside of the CCD’s vertical shift registers prior to image integration in async reset mode. This feature reduces vertical smear lines from a point light source during fast shutter conditions. The lower side smear, however, cannot be reduced due to the CCD structure.
