Page 9: Hardware Introduction
Camera Hardware Hardware Introduction Product Description The JAI Inc. TM-2040GE series is a Gigabit Ethernet output, high-resolution 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 1/32,000 sec., can be reset asynchronously by external pulse control. - Page 10 RM/TM-2040GE Series • Electronic shutter The TM-2040GE has a substrate drain-type shutter mechanism which provides superb pictures at various speeds without smearing. • Asynchronous reset The TM-2040GE captures async reset images and provides single-shot video output with single FDV (frame data valid).

Page 11: Installation
2.1.2 Components When you receive your TM-2040GE camera from JAI Inc., the contents of the shipping box should include the camera and a document download card. If either of these items are missing, please contact your JAI Inc. representative immediately. The document download card includes instructions and web locations for downloading the datasheet, manual, and camera-control software. -
Page 12: Power Supplies And Power Cable Setup
Figure 2. GigE Ethernet Connector Use at least cat5e UTP cables (cat6 cables are preferred). Refer to the Cam2Net User’s Manual for details. JAI Inc. recommends the use of shielded cables to reduce emissions and for CE/FCC compliance. Double-shielded cables further reduce emissions. -
Page 13: Figure 3. 12P-02S Interface Cable (Optional)
2.2.3 (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 below. The cable pin-out diagram is shown in Figure 51. The color-coded leads use Gray for Ground and Yellow for +12V. -
Page 14: Attaching The Camera Lens
RM/TM-2040GE 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 approximately 200µs to prevent the voltage at the camera from... -
Page 15: Operation
RM/TM-2040GE Series Operation Progressive Scanning The TM-2040GE 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 generates a stable, crisp image without alternating lines and provides full vertical TV resolution of 1000 lines (a normal TV monitor display may not be able to show 1000 lines due to monitor resolution of 30Hz scanning). -
Page 16: Figure 5. Bayer 1
RM/TM-2040GE Series For a color CCD, the upper-left Bayer pattern changes, depending on the start point location. If the start point is an odd row, the upper-left Bayer pattern is G in RG. If the start point is an even row, the upper-left Bayer pattern is B in BG. -
Page 17: Full Scan Area 2X2 Binning
RM/TM-2040GE Series Figure 6. Bayer 2 3.1.3 Full Scan Area 2x2 Binning TM-2040GE has 2x2 binning of the full scan area. In full scan 2x2 binning mode, pixel (i, j) includes all the information of pixel (2i-1, 2j-1), (2i-1, 2j), (2i, 2j-1) and (2i, 2j) in normal full scan mode (where i=1 2, ..., 800; j=1,2, .., 600). -
Page 18: Bayer Color Filter (Color Versions)
3.2.1 Color Filter Array JAI Inc. 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. When the data is stored in the frame buffer of a frame grabber or computer, the color information is easily manipulated to restore the original color images. -
Page 19: 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 is exactly the same. Contact JAI, Inc. for further information regarding CCD manufacturers. -
Page 20: Camera Functions
RM/TM-2040GE Series Figure 10. Example of TMC-2040GE (Same as TM/RM/RMC-2040GE) 3.2.5 Camera Functions AccuPiXEL color cameras perform all functions the same way as monochrome cameras. However, because of color characteristics, the LUT (Look-up Table) is different. The LUT is a powerful tool to adjust the dynamic range, as well as the color dynamic range. -
Page 21: Dynamic Range Control
RM/TM-2040GE Series All AccuPiXEL color cameras are carefully designed for maximum color performance. JAI Inc. strongly suggests that you use digital output for the best performance. Some software is used on board (FPGA or DSP) to perform the interpolation. Other software simply uses the host computer’s memory and CPU. -

RM/TM-2040GE Series External Sync and Pixel Locking The TM-2040GE accepts an external sync of standard HD and VD at TTL level for general locking to a system sync and clock. The frequency requirement is as follows: Full Progressive Scan: fHD = 41.67 KHz ± 2% fVD = 34.15 Hz ±... -
Page 23: Asynchronous Programmable Exposure Mode
RM/TM-2040GE Series Figure 12. External Trigger Timing. 3.5.3 Asynchronous Programmable Exposure Mode In Asynchronous Programmable Exposure Mode, when an external trigger is applied, the exposure starts after one discharge signal (Vsub), which happens after the trigger’s active edge is off. Because the discharge signal (Vsub) synchronizes with LDV in this mode, there is a maximum one video line of jitter between the trigger active edges to discharge signals (Vsub) off. -
Page 24: Pulse Width Control Mode
RM/TM-2040GE Series Figure 13. Asynchronous Programmable External Trigger 3.5.4 Pulse Width Control Mode In Pulse Width Control (PWC) Mode, the exposure time is controlled by the external trigger. When an external trigger is applied, one discharge signal (Vsub) is generated right after the active edge of the trigger. The exposure starts when the discharge signal is in the off state. -
Page 25: Particle Imaging Velocimetry Fixed Exposure Mode
RM/TM-2040GE Series 3.5.5 Particle Imaging Velocimetry Fixed Exposure Mode In Particle Imaging Velocimetry (PIV) Fixed Exposure Mode, when an external trigger is applied, the first time exposure starts the same as in PWC mode. It lasts a very short period (8µs). The second time exposure starts during the transferring time of the first image. -
