TM-1020 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras
Operation Manual
1 Introduction
1.1 Product Description
The JAI, Inc. TM-1020 series1 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.
1. Unless specifically mentioned, all information in this manual is relevant to all released cameras in
the TM-1020 series, including TM-1020-15, RM-1020-15, TM-1020A and all variations, Camera
Link versions (CL), FW version, and the TM-1020-30 and CL.

1.2 Features
• Miniature size and light weight
The printed circuit boards in the TM-1020 series have been arranged based on a new design
philosophy. 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 149 grams.
• Imager
The TM-1020 series uses a progressive-scan interline transfer CCD that has the following features:
- Resolution of 1008 x 1018 active pixels for excellent image quality.
- 9.0 x 9.0 µm square pixels for precise dimensional measurement.
- High-speed electronic shutter capability for high dynamic resolution of moving objects and
electronic iris control that eliminates the need for a mechanical shutter.
- Progressive-scan CCD eliminates interlace deterioration of image and increases ease of
computer interface.
- High sensitivity and low noise at fast scanning. The 1” CCD has an excellent S/N ratio that
is greater than 50dB.
- The CCD has a built-in microlens for increased quantum efficiency.
• Electronic shutter
The TM-1020 series has a substrate drain-type shutter mechanism which provides superb pictures
at various speeds without smearing. A built-in manual shutter speed control selects the electronic
shutter rate of 1/60 (non-async mode only), 1/125, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1,000, 1/2,000, 1/4,000, 1/8,000,
or 1/16,000 second.
With VINIT high (5V), the CCD keeps discharging. With a negative pulse to VINIT, the camera
resets and purges the charge momentarily. Then it starts integrating for the period of shutter control
set by either an external pulse width or internal shutter control. Progressive scanning permits a full
1000 lines of vertical resolution, as compared to a conventional CCD camera which captures only
half the vertical lines per shutter.
• Asynchronous reset
The TM-1020 series captures async reset images and provides single-shot video output with single
FDV. This makes it simpler for an ordinary frame grabber to capture the async reset images. The
TM-1020 series’s asynchronous reset is flexible and accepts external horizontal drive (HD) for
phase locking. When the VINIT (5V) pulse is applied, it resets the camera's scanning and purging
of the CCD.
The TM-1020A-15 has two modes to control the asynchronous reset and shutter speed:
- External VINIT with pulse width. The duration between pulse edges controls the shutter
speed externally (No-delay shutter).
- Internal shutter speed control. The speed control varies from 1/125 to 1/16,000 sec. The
video signal and FDV starts with internal V reset timing related to shutter speed.
The TM-1020-15 has three modes to control the asynchronous reset and shutter speed:
- External VINIT with pulse width. The duration between pulse edges controls the shutter
speed externally.
- Internal shutter speed with Fast mode. The video signal has no delay from the reset tim-
ing. (shutter speed range is 1/2,000 to 1/16,000 sec.)
Introduction
TM-1020 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras
- Internal shutter speed with Slow mode. The speed control varies from 1/125 to 1/1,000
sec. The video signal starts with internal V reset timing related to shutter speed.
• Output
The TM-1020 series has an 8-bit RS-644 digital output for interfacing with external imageprocessing systems (TM-1020-15 is RS-422 only) with RS-644 digital output available as an
option. Camera Link models are designated by the letters “CL” at the end of the camera name.
Please contact your JAI, Inc. representative for details on these options and models. The analog
output is 1.0 Vp-p composite video (75Ω) on all models.
• Integration
The TM-1020 series is capable of capturing high-resolution integration images. Its CCD imager
can be exposed for longer than the normal scan timing of 1/15 sec. This integration feature
provides extra sensitivity for applications in dark environments. The progressive scan imager
permits a full frame of resolution in non-interlace format. Integration is achieved by pulling pin
#11 of the 12-pin connector to low (GND) for the frames to be integrated.
• Warranty
The CCD solid-state image sensor allows the camera to maintain a superior performance level
indefinitely while requiring virtually no maintenance. JAI, Inc. backs all of the TM-series cameras
with a three-year warranty in the U.S., and a one-year warranty elsewhere.
