1 Introduction
1.1 Product Description
The JAI, Inc. TM-1020 series
1
consists of high-resolution, high-speed monochrome progressive scan
CCD cameras. 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 sec., can be reset
asynchronously by external pulse control. The base model’s frame rate is 15 fps. A square imager
format with uniform square pixels provides superior image definition in any orientation. On-chip micro
lenses provide increased sensitivity.
The TM-1020 series 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. The camera has an 8-bit, RS-422 or RS-644
digital signal output for interfacing with external image-processing systems. All the key functions are
externally controlled via RS-232C. The CL models have a Camera Link output.
Applications for the TM-1020 series include machine vision, medical imaging, intelligent
transportation systems, high-definition graphics, on-line inspection, gauging, character reading,
archiving, and high-security surveillance.
