  • Page 29: Hardware Introduction

    “Features” on page 30 6.1 Product Description The JAI TM-1327GE 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 1/16,000 second, can be reset asynchronously by external pulse control.
  • Page 30 TM/ RM-1327GE Series − High sensitivity and low noise at fast scanning. The CCD has an excellent S/N ratio at the default setting greater than 51dB. • Electronic shutter The TM-1327GE has a substrate drain-type shutter mechanism which provides superb pictures at various speeds without smearing.

    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 37 TM/ RM -1327GE Series Figure 30. Example of Color CCD CFA Pattern 8.2.4 Sync and Data The individual color data is exactly the same as the pixel data. This means that the timing relationships of the color cameras are also the same as of the B/W cameras. For a detailed timing chart, please refer to each B/W camera’s data sheet and manual.

  • Page 38: Interpolation Software

    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. 8.2.6 Interpolation Software The color interpolation can be performed in the frame grabber or by using the host computer’s CPU.

    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 40 TM/ RM-1327GE Series 8.5.2 Internal Direct Shutter Speed Control Figure 33. Internal Direct Shutter Speed Control 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. The shutter speed is controlled by communication software.

    TM/ RM -1327GE Series Figure 34. No-Delay Shutter 8.5.4 Async Direct Shutter Async Direct Shutter exposure is determined by a direct shutter value entered from 1 to 1040. The shutter value equals 1.5H (horizontal line time) or 47.6 μsec. for each increment. The Async Direct Shutter exposure timing functions exactly the same as the internal shutter speed control.
