  • Page 11: Introduction

    On-chip micro lenses provide increased sensitivity. The TM-1020 series 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.
  • Page 12: Features

    • Miniature size and light weight The printed circuit boards in the TM-1020 series have been arranged based on a new design philosophy. This 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 149 grams.
  • Page 13: Functional Option

    • Output The TM-1020 series has an 8-bit RS-644 digital output for interfacing with external image- processing systems (TM-1020-15 is RS-422 only) with RS-644 digital output available as an option. Camera Link models are designated by the letters “CL” at the end of the camera name.

    2.2.1 Heat Dissipation The TM-1020 series camera from JAI, Inc., is a compact 1K 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.
  • Page 16: Connector Pin Configurations

    Page 6 TM-1020 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras For optimal performance, JAI, Inc. recommends using a cooling fan to set up a positive air flow around the camera and following the precautions below. • Mount the camera on a large heat sink (camera bracket) made out of conductive material like alu- minum.
  • Page 17: Table 2. 12-Pin Connector (Cl Version)

    The CL versions have a 12-pin Hirose connector for power input and signal integration. Pin #1 is Ground and pin #12 is +12V DC. The pin-out table is shown below. For TM-1020-15CL, serial communication camera control is done via the Camera Link connector on the rear panel of the camera.
  • Page 18: Table 3. 31-Pin Connector (Mp211-031-113-4300)

    Digital Output Connector (LVDS/RS-422 only) The LVDS/RS-422 version has a 31-pin AirBorn connector (MP211-031-113-4300) on the rear panel to output 8-bit, RS-644 video data. The TM-1020-15 is 8-bit, RS-422 video data. The connector pin-out is shown in the figure below.

    SerTFG: Serial to Frame Grabber 2.2.2 (d) Analog Output Connector The TM-1020 series has a BNC connector on the rear panel to output analog video data. See Section 6.1, “Specifications,” on page 38 for additional information on analog video output.
  • Page 20: Shutter Speed Control Dial (Lvds/Rs-422 Version)

    The RS-232 controller set CS-232E includes the RS-232B-12 interface cable, software disk, and a quick-start card. The TM-1020 (RS-422 and LVDS/RS-422 version) 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.
  • Page 21: Digital Output Cable (Lvds/Rs-422 Version)

    25.0mm 1.00 in The TM-1020 series 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.
  • Page 22: Camera Link Cable (Cl Versions Only)

    2.2.6 Camera Link Cable (CL Versions Only) The Camera Link cable has a 26-pin connector on both ends. This is a straight-through cable and the pin-out configuration is shown in Table 4 on page 9. Contact JAI, Inc. for cable lengths other than 2 meters.
  • Page 23: Power Supplies And Power Cable Setup

    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 (LVDS/RS-422 version)” on page 6. The cable pin-out diagram is shown in Figure 8 below.
  • Page 24: Attaching The Analog Video Output

    2.2.8 Attaching the Analog Video Output When connecting the TM-1020 series 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 75Ω termination.
  • Page 25: Attaching The Camera Lens

    2.2.9 Attaching the Camera Lens The TM-1020 series camera accepts 1" or larger format size C-mount lenses. To attach the C-mount lens to the camera, carefully engage the threads and rotate the lens clockwise until it firmly seats on the mounting ring.

    HDTV-format camera, since it has interlaced scanning and the vertical resolution of the shuttered image is 500 lines. The TM-1020 series uses a state-of-the-art progressive scanning interline transfer CCD which scans all lines sequentially from top to bottom at one frame rate. Like a non-interlace computer screen, it...

    3.5 Integration The CCD imager of the TM-1020 series can be exposed for longer than the normal scan timing of 1/15 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 1/15 frames.

    S9 Exposure Time = X (H) The TM-1020 series can be reset with external reset pulse (VINIT). Set the dial switch to “9.” Apply a pulse-width control VINIT signal generated from an external event trigger to the camera. The internal reset pulse will be latched to HD and at the 9th HD timing from the external pulse leading edge (negative going edge).
  • Page 36: Dynamic Range Control

    The range is limited by the structure and the pixel size. The TM-1020 series uses a 1” CCD with 9.0 µm x 9.0 µm pixel and two-phase vertical shift register structure. The well capacity is 50,000 electrons. The theoretical dynamic range is 50,000:30 = 1667:1 (64 dB).
