  • Page 9: Hardware Introduction

    Hardware Introduction Product Description The JAI TM-1405GE is a high-speed progressive scan CCD camera. The interline-type CCD permits full vertical and horizontal resolution of very high speed shutter images and applications. The electronic shutter, which has speeds to 1/21,000 second, can be reset asynchronously by external pulse control.
  • Page 10 RM/TM-1405GE Series • Asynchronous reset The TM-1405GE captures asynchronous reset images and provides single-shot video output with single FDV. This makes it simpler for an ordinary frame grabber to capture the asynchronous reset images. The TM-1405GE’s asynchronous reset is flexible and accepts external horizontal drive (HD) for phase locking.
  • Page 11: Installation

    RM/TM-1405GE Series Installation The following instructions will help you to set up your camera quickly and easily. JAI suggests that you read through these instructions first, before you unpack and set up your camera system. Getting Started 2.1.1 Unpacking Instructions JAI recommends that you save the original packing cartons for the cameras and accessories in case you need to return or exchange an item.
  • Page 12: Connector Pin Configurations

    The TM-1405GE camera requires 12V DC power obtained through the 12-pin connector located on the rear panel of the camera. JAI, Inc. power supplies feature a 122-240V AC / 12V DC 1.2A universal voltage supply. JAI recommends the following power supplies:...
  • Page 13: Figure 3. 12P-02S Interface Cable (Optional)

    2.2.3.2 JAI Power Cables If you are using JAI power cables, such as the 12P-02S, refer to the Figure 3 which shows the cable pin-out diagram and pinouts. The color-coded leads use Gray for Ground and Yellow for +12V. Figure 3.
  • Page 14: Attaching The Camera Lens

    RM/TM-1405GE Series Note: If using a power supply other than the standard PD-12U Series from JAI, certain characteristics are required of the power supply and the wiring in order to properly power the camera. The camera requires 12V immediately upon start-up; no slow ramps. Once power is applied, the power supply must be able to support a 2A to 2.5A in-rush current for...

  • Page 16: Operation

    3.2.1 Color Filter Array JAI 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 allows the camera to output accurate pixel data, including the color information.
  • Page 17: 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 for further information regarding CCD manufacturers.
  • Page 18: Camera Functions

    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. 3.2.6 Interpolation Software The color interpolation can be performed in the frame grabber or by using the host computer’s CPU.
  • Page 19: Color Interpolation

    3 x 3 interpolation, 2 x 2 interpolation, color matrix, white balance capability, etc. All AccuPiXEL color cameras are carefully designed for maximum color performance. JAI strongly suggests that you use digital output for the best performance.
  • Page 20: Async Programmable Shutter Speed Control

    RM/TM-1405GE Series Figure 7. Async No Shutter 3.5.2 Async Programmable Shutter Speed Control In Asynchronous Programmable Shutter mode, the video signal starts with internal VINIT. When the external VINIT pulse is applied, internal VINIT is latched to HD and the internal VINIT is delayed to set up the shutter speed period.
  • Page 21: External Vinit With Pulse Width (No-Delay Shutter)

    RM/TM-1405GE Series 3.5.3 External VINIT With Pulse Width (No-Delay Shutter) For multiple-camera applications such as 2D or 3D measurement and multi-angle inspection, simultaneous image capturing at an exact shutter timing for all cameras is a critical requirement. The TM-1405’s asynchronous pulse-width control mode provides no-delay shutter as standard. Regardless of the internal pulse timing, the camera discharges at the VINIT leading edge and transfers charges at the trailing edge of the pulse.
