May 31, 2007 TM-6760 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras Operation Manual 1 Introduction 1.1 Product Description The JAI, Inc. 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 2 TM-6760 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras 1.2 Features • Miniaturized and lightweight The printed circuit boards in the TM-6760 have been arranged with a new design philosophy in mind. This creates modular electronics for the camera, giving it flexibility. In addition, the use of miniature solid-state components results in a compact, lightweight camera that is 44mm x 44mm x 64mm in dimensions, and weighs only 138 grams.
Page 3 TM-6760 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras • Output The TM-6760 has an 8-bit RS-644 (LVDS) digital output for interfacing with external imageprocessing systems. The TM-6760 camera is also available with RS-422 digital output as an option (OP-93). The TM-6760CL has a Camera Link output. The analog output is 1.0 Vp-p composite video (75 ohms). • Asynchronous image capturing The TM-6760 captures async reset images and provides single-shot video output with single FDV.

Page 5 TM-6760 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras 2 Installation The following instructions are provided to help you to set up your camera quickly and easily. We suggest that you read through these instructions before you unpack and set up your camera system. 2.1 Getting Started 2.1.1 Unpacking Instructions We recommend that you save the original packing cartons for the cameras and accessories in case you need to return or exchange an item.
Page 6 TM-6760 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras 2.2 Camera Setup 2.2.1 Heat Dissipation 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. JAI, Inc. recommends the following procedure for optimal performance of the camera: 1. Mount the camera on a large heat sink (camera bracket) made out of conductive material like aluminum. 2.

Page 11 TM-6760 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras 2.2.6 Camera Link Cable (TM-6760CL only) The MDR26 cable assembly (26CL-02-26) has been standardized as the Camera Link cable. This cable has the 26-pin MDR26 connector on both ends. This is a straight-through cable. The pin-out configuration is shown in Table 4 on page 8.
Page 12 TM-6760 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras When wiring the PD-12UU power supply directly, please note the following: • The lead ends must be twisted together and tin-soldered for strength and electrical continuity. • Shrink tubing or a similar insulator should be used to prevent exposed leads from touching and shorting. • The +12V lead is marked with a red stripe or white lettering; be sure not to reverse the leads. • All connections must be properly insulated to prevent shorting. 2.2.
Page 13 TM-6760 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras 2.2.9 Attaching the Camera Lens The TM-6760 camera accepts 1/2" or larger format size C-mount lenses. To attach the C-mount lens to the camera, carefully engage the threads and rotate the lens clockwise until it firmly seats on the mounting ring. Do not force the lens if it does not seat properly. Please note that some lenses with extremely long flangebacks may exceed the mounting depth of the camera.

Page 17 TM-6760 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras 3.3 Progressive Scanning Standard TV-system scanning is 525 lines interlace scanning as specified in the RS-170 protocol. Every other horizontal line (odd lines and even lines) is scanned at a 60Hz rate per field, and the scanning is completed with two fields (one frame) at 30Hz rate. Because of the interlace scanning, the vertical resolution of CCD cameras is limited at 350 TV lines, regardless of the horizontal resolution.
Page 18 TM-6760 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras 3.5 Integration The CCD imager of the TM-6760 can be exposed for longer than the normal scan timing of 1/60 sec. This integration feature provides extra sensitivity for dark-environment applications. The progressivescan imager permits a full frame of resolution in non-interlace format.

Page 23 TM-6760 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras images acquired at very high shutter speeds. The electronic shutter, which has speeds to 1/16,000 sec., can be reset asynchronously by external pulse control. Uniform square pixels provide superior image definition in any orientation. On-chip micro lenses mean increased sensitivity. 3.11.1 Color Filter Array JAI, Inc. AccuPiXEL cameras use Bayer CFA (color filter array) as their standard primary color filter.
Page 24 TM-6760 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras 3.11.3 Starting Pixel Configuration All manufacturers produce identical Bayer CFAs, but there are slight differences between the CCDs produced by different manufacturers. The first line is generally R and G, except for the Kodak CCD, which starts with G. The Sony CCD starts with R. The camera timing can be adjusted to start with either G or R by skipping the very first pixels at each line.
