  • Page 8: Introduction

    Operation Manual Introduction 1.1 Product Description The PULNiX TM-6760 series are VGA format, high-speed monochrome progressive scan CCD cameras. The progressive 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 9: Features

    External VINIT with pulse width. The duration between pulse edges controls the shutter speed externally. Internal shutter control mode. The speed control varies from 1/250 to 1/32,000 sec. The video signal starts with internal V reset timing related to shutter speed. TM-6760 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras...

    The TM-6760 camera is a compact 648K x 484K camera. Since all the electronics have been packed in a compact package, the outer case of the camera gets hot due to heat dissipation. PULNiX recommends the following procedure for optimal performance of the camera: Mount the camera on a large heat sink (camera bracket) made out of conductive material like aluminum.

    On-chip micro lenses mean increased sensitivity. 3.11.1 Color Filter Array JAI PULNiX 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.
  • Page 31: 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 PULNiX for further information regarding CCD manufacturers. Starting Pixel Configuration FIGURE 10.
  • Page 32: Camera Functions

    AccuPiXEL color cameras can use that configuration file to operate. The configuration file may vary, depending on whether the output is standard (RS-644) or Camera Link. Please consult JAI PULNiX, or your frame grabber supplier for compatibility information. The following diagram is an example of the TMC-6760 (same as TM-6760).
