  • Page 8: Introduction

    Introduction 1.1 Product Description The PULNiX TM-1400 series consists of high-resolution, high-speed 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 1/16,000 sec., can be reset asynchronously by external pulse control.

    78.74 in (2 meters) The TM-1400 camera uses the cable 30DG-02 from JAI PULNiX 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.
  • Page 18: Camera Link Cable (Cl Versions Only)

    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 PULNiX power cable either directly or via a terminal strip.

    2.2.7 (b) JAI PULNiX Power Cables If you are using JAI PULNiX power cables such as the 12P-02S, please refer to the 12-pin connector pin-out diagram in “12-Pin Connector (TM-1400)” on page 6. The cable pin-out diagram is shown in Figure 7 below.
  • Page 20: Attaching The Analog Video Output

    Standard RG-59 type coaxial cable should carry a full video signal for up to 100 feet. The multi-conductor cable 12P-02S from JAI PULNiX can be used to transmit analog video, power, sync. signals, and serial communication. The mini coaxial leads in JAI PULNiX multi-conductor cables are designed for short runs of no longer than 100 feet.

    The interline transfer architecture is also important to generate simultaneous shuttering. This is different from full frame transfer architecture which requires a mechanical shutter or strobe light in order to freeze the object motion. TM-1400 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras...

    The shutter speed is the same as the external pulse width, but the integration delays 1H from the leading edge. For the immediate reset option, please contact JAI PULNiX. For the progressive format, one frame of video output will start from the rising edge of the pulse width control.

    Pixel clock = 50.00 MHz) 3.9 Bayer Color Filter (Color Versions) JAI PULNiX AccuPiXEL series color cameras are high-resolution, high-speed progressive scan CCD cameras. The interline transfer, progressive scan CCD permits full vertical and horizontal resolution of images acquired at very high shutter speeds. The electronic shutter, which has speeds to 1/16,000 sec., can be reset asynchronously by external pulse control.
  • Page 28: Color Filter Array

    Operation 3.9.1 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. The digital format, either Camera Link or RS-644, allows the camera to output accurate pixel data, including the color information.
  • Page 29: 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.

    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. TM-1400 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras...
