Page 11: Functional Options
The TMC-6700/1000 series cameras accept HD and VD inputs from an external sync generator. Anti-smear filter • Like all PULNiX color cameras, the TMC-6700/1000 series cameras contain a filter to minimize smear that can result when shooting a very bright object. Smear should only occur under extremely bright and pointed light source conditions. -

2.2.2 (b) PULNiX Power Cables If you are using PULNiX power cables, such as the 12P-02S, please refer to the12-pin connector pin-out diagram in Section 2.2.1 on page 7. The cable pin-out diagram is shown below in Figure 3. The color- coded leads use Gray for Ground and Yellow for +12V DC. -
Page 19: Rs-232C Communication Cable And Connector
The selection of an appropriate digital output cable depends on whether you are using a Channel Link frame grabber or a non-Channel Link frame grabber. PULNiX offers two digital output cables. The Channel Link/TTL Adapter cable (15CL-02) provides 24 bit TTL output for use with a non-Channel Link frame grabber. -
Page 20: Analog Output Cable (Cbl-2R-15)
Not all frame grabbers have BNC analog input connectors, in which case a custom adapter cable will be needed. Contact your PULNiX representative if you need assistance. 2.2.6 Camera Link Cable (Camera Link models only) The MDR26 cable assembly (26CL-02-26) from 3M (part number 10226-6212VC) has been standardized as the Camera Link cable. -

Page 15 Operation Note: In order to avoid video problems, make sure that you turn the shutter-speed control dial quickly. If you turn the dial too slowly, the shutter may not expose for the proper period of time, resulting in either no video or bright video. If this happens, push the IWB RST switch on the rear panel or repeat the dial change at a faster speed. -
