CV-M10BX/CV-M10RS

1. General

The CV-M10 is a compact monochrome progressive scan camer a designed for automated imaging applications. The 1/2" CCD with square pixels offers a superb image quality. The high-speed shutter function and asynchronous random trigger mode allows the camera to capture high quality images of fast moving objects. The dual tapped video output allows the camera to operate with a high frame rate. The camera can operate in continuous mode and with triggered edge pre-select and pulse width controlled shutter.

2. Standard Composition

The standard camera composition consists of the camera main body, tripod mounting plate and operation manual. CV-M10 is available in the follo wing versions:

For EIA (VGA corresponded). CV-M10BXE is the basic progressive scan camera with all functions. CV-M10RSE is the extended version with digital set-up function via RS232C serial control.

For CCIR. CV-M10BX C is the basic progr essive scan camera with all functions. CV-M10RSC is the extended version with digital set-up function via RS-232C serial control.

6. F unctions and Operation

Apart from the standard continuous operation, the CV -M10 features two external asynchronous trigger modes, Edge Pr eselect and Pulse Width Control mode. These 2 external trigger modes can operate with either H reset or H non-reset. In Edge Pre-select and H reset, the internal HD is reset on the falling edge of the trigger and the exposure starts. For Pulse Width Control and H reset, the rising edge of the trigger will stop the exposure and reset the internal HD. In H non-reset, the exposure will be synchronized to the internal HD. It will start on the first HD after the trigger negative going edge.

6-1. Input/Output of HD/VD Signal

6.1.1. Input of External HD/VD signals

This setting is factory pre-set. The video output is synchronized with external HD/VD signals if applied. If no ext. HD is connected, the camera will switch to the internal X-tal controlled HD sync. If no ext. VD is connected, the camera will continue with its internal VD. The external HD/VD signal should be 4.0 Vp-p ±2.0V from a 75 ohm source. In case of TTL level input 2.0 to 5.0V the 75 ohm termination can be removed by open JP3/JP6 on PK8189A board.

6.1.2. Output of Internal HD/VD signals

In order to output internal HD/VD signal 4.0Vp-p from a 75 ohm source, a jumper setting is required. JP1/JP4 on PK8189A board is to be open, and JP5/JP7 are to be short.

6.2. Continuous operation

For application that do not require asynchronous external trigger , but run in continuous oper ation, this mode is used. SW14 T rigger select on camera rear is set to ON for normal internal trigger mode. The shutter time or exposure time are selected by SW1-1 to SW1-3 on camera rear (and SW1-1 to SW1-4 on PK8206 for BX versions). The setting can be done via RS 232C for the RS versions. The shutter time can be selected within the following range:

Normal shutter 8 step. 1/50 to 1/10,000 sec. for CCIR. 1/60 to 1/10,000 sec. for EIA High speed shutter 8 step. 1/25,000 to 1/917,000 sec for CCIR.

1/20,000 sec. to 1/800,000 sec. for EIA

Low speed shutter 8 step. 2 fields to 16 fields for CCIR and EIA

6.3. External Trigger Mode

External trigger mode of CV-M10 allows 2 different driving modes: 1 Edge Pre-select mode. (Asynchronous reset and exposure start by an ext. trigger) 2 Pulse Width Control mode. (Exposure control by the low period of the ext. trigger) For both there are two trigger modes. H reset and H non-reset. H non-reset mode allows input of synchronized external trigger and external HD. The trigger input is AC coupled, so there is a maximum pulse width for the trigger pulse about 1 msec. The signal level must be 4.0V p-p +/- 2.0V on the input, which is non-terminated. The trigger input can be changed to 75 ohm by shorting JP10. See instructions in "8. Jumper Settings".

6.3.1. Edge Pre-select Trigger Mode

This trigger mode can operate in H reset mode or H non-reset mode. In H reset mode the falling edge of the trigger will immediately reset the internal HD and start the exposure. The trigger input should be >2 µsec. to <1 msec. If the camera is synchronized to an external HD, there are some requirements to the phase between the ext. HD and the Ext. trigger. The falling edge of the trigger should be within 4.4 msec. from the falling edge of the ext. HD. Otherwise the jitter will be too high. (See fig. 6.3) In H non-reset mode the exposure will start at the first internal HD after the trigger. The trigger input should be >64 µsec. to <1msec. An external trigger pulse initiates the capture, and the exposure time (accumulation time) is governed by the fixed shutter speed set up by the rear panel DIP-switches, (internal switch for BX version.) or via RS-232C. The resulting video signal will start to be read out after the selected shutter time. The WEN pulse indicates the start of valid video signal. Refer to timing charts for details. A new trigger pulse must not be applied before the video read out has been finished.

T o use this mode Set: SW1-4 on BX rear to OFF for random trigger. For RS select trigger mode.

JP12 on PK8206 (BX ver.) or PK8190 (RS ver.) OPEN for Edge Pre-select JP13 on PK8206 (BX ver.) or PK8190 (RS ver.) OPEN for H Reset JP13 on PK8206 (BX ver.) or PK8190 (RS ver.) Short for H Non Reset SW1-1 through SW1-3 on rear and SW1 on (BX) PK8206 for exposure time

Note: For CV-M10RS the selection of Edge Pre-select, Pulse Width Control H Reset and H non-reset cannot be done by

RS232C. (See chapter 7 and 8 for details)

6.3.2. Pulse Width Control Trigger Mode

AA AA

A=4.4

4.0V(p p) ±1.0V

This trigger mode can operate in H reset mode or H non-reset mode. In H reset mode the exposure will start immediately at the falling edge of the trigger. (The internal H will not be reset). The exposure will end and the internal H will be reset at the rising edge of the trigger. In H-non-reset mode the trigger and HD is synchronized. The exposure will start at the first HD pulse after the falling edge of the trigger. The exposure stops at the trigger rising edge. The trigger pulse can be anything between >1H and <625H. To avoid jitter , the camera should be synchronized to an external HD. There are some r equirements to the phase between the ext. HD and the Ext. trigger. The falling and rising edge of the trigger should be within 4.4 µsec. from the falling edge of the ext. HD. (See fig. 6.3)
