Page 4 Installation 2 Installation The following instructions are provided to help you to set up your video camera system quickly and easily. We suggest that you read through these instructions prior to unpacking and setting 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 in case you need to return or exchange an item.
Page 5 Installation 2.2 Camera Setup 2.2.1 Pin Configurations 2.2.1 (a) 12-Pin Connector (TM-6710) The TM-6710 has a 12-pin connector for power input. Pin #1 is Ground and Pin #2 is +12V DC. The other pins handle a number of other input and output functions, as detailed below. Pin 1 2 3 4 5 6 2.2.
Page 6 Installation 2.2.1 (c) 51-Pin Connector The TM-6710 has a 51-pin connector for RS-644 digital output (using B channel digital output to configure single channel).

Page 8 Installation If you are building your own power cables, consult the pin-out for the camera purchased. Connect the Ground and +12V power leads of the PC-12P power connector to Pin #1 and Pin #2, respectively. Remember that power must be DC regulated, and of sufficient current to properly power the camera. Attach the power cable to the connector. The 12-pin connector is keyed and will only fit in one orientation. Rotate the connector while applying slight pressure until the keyways line up.

The input of the system or monitor should be balanced for 75ohms termination.
Page 10 Operation Operation 3.1 Dual-Tap Video Output The TM-6710CL uses a dual-tap output for its fast frame readout. At the same horizontal clock cycle, line 1 and all odd lines go to channel A, and line 2 and all even lines go to channel B. Vertical shift registers move twice per horizontal blanking period. Lines are grouped in twos, so that 1 and 2, and 3 and 4, and so on, are output from channel A and B simultaneously.

Page 13 Operation 3.3.2 External Synchronization The TM-6710 can take external HD and VD for phase locking. The internal PLL will take external HD and lock with the CCD HD. (The CCD HD frequency is half of the analog video output HD.) Example: Ext. HD = 30.49KHz, VD will be 120Hz and Master Clock will be 50.98MHz.

Set the dial switch to “9.” Apply a pulsewidth control VINIT signal generated from an external 100Ω (VINIT) event trigger to the camera.
Page 15 Operation This feature is especially important in capturing moving objects at the precise location of the field of view, such as belt conveyer, fast event observation and still picture capturing. 3.3.3 (b) Internal Fast Reset Mode The video signal has no delay from the reset timing. Shutter speed range is 1/8,000 to 1/31,000 sec. Select a dial switch setting from “1” to “4.

Page 17 Operation 3.3.6 Progressive Scanning The TM-6710 uses a state-of-the-art CCD called a “Progressive scanning interline transfer CCD” which scans all lines sequentially from top to bottom at one frame rate 120 Hz or (60 Hz) with dual channel output. Like a non-interlace computer screen, it generates a stable crisp image without alternating lines and provides full vertical TV resolution of 484 active lines. The interline transfer architecture is also important to generate simultaneous shuttering.
Page 18 Operation 3.3.7 (b) RS-232C Control Commands External RS-232C (or optional RS-485) computer control allows the operator to remotely adjust the following functions: clock speed, shutter, gain, A/D reference and scan format. The control commands are detailed below. Note: RS-232 control will override the rear panel switch control. (TM-6710 only) The TM-6710 command package begins with “.” (Start of Text = 3AH), and is then followed by the Command Code (C.C...
Page 19 Operation This selects a mode for external shutter speed control. Hexadecimal shutter number (3 digit) follows “SX” command (e.g., “080” = 128H, shutter speed = 4.1msec). It moves the shutter discharge pulse at every 1H (32 µsec.) period from 254 (no shutter) to 1H (max. speed). Command G Function: A/D pre-amp gain control. The “GM” command controls the gains of the A channel and the B channel. The “GA” and “GB” commands fine tune the gain of the A and B channels respectively, to achieve balance.
