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. The frame rate for a full image is 30 fps, with partial scan mode of up to 1 line. A 2:1 ratio
imager format with uniform square pixels provides superior image definition in any orientation.
The TM-1327GE 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.
Applications for the TM-1327GE include machine vision, medical imaging, intelligent transportation
systems, high-definition graphics, on-line inspection, gauging, character reading, archiving, and high
security surveillance.
The TM-1327GE series consists of the TM-1327GE (monochrome) and the TMC-1327GE (color). Unless
otherwise noted, all information contained in thIs manual is relevant to both models.
6.2 Features
The TM-1327GE has the following features:
•
Miniature size and light weight
The printed circuit boards in the TM-1327GE have been arranged to create modular electronics,
giving the camera flexibility. In addition, the use of miniature solid-state components results in a
compact, lightweight camera that is 50.8mm x 50.8mm x 83.5mm in dimensions, and weighs only
140 grams.
•
Imager
The TM-1327GE uses a progressive scan interline transfer CCD that has the following features:
− Resolution of 1392 x 1040 active pixels for excellent image quality.
− 6.45 x 6.45 μm square pixels for precise dimensional measurement.
− High-speed electronic shutter capability for high dynamic resolution of moving objects
that eliminates the need for a mechanical shutter.
− Progressive scan CCD eliminates interlace deterioration of image and increases ease of
computer interface.
