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.

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. When
electronic shutter is applied, the CCD can hold only one field of charge at each exposure. Therefore, the
vertical resolution of the electronic-shutter camera is only 244 TV lines. The situation is the same for an
HDTV-format camera, since it has interlaced scanning and the vertical resolution of the shuttered image
is 500 lines.

The TM-1020 series uses a state-of-the-art progressive scanning interline transfer CCD which scans all
lines sequentially from top to bottom at one frame rate. Like a non-interlace computer screen, it
generates a stable, crisp image without alternating lines and provides full vertical TV resolution of 1000
lines (a normal TV monitor display may not be able to show 1000 lines due to monitor resolution of
30Hz scanning).

The interline transfer architecture is also important to generate simultaneous shuttering. This is different
from full frame transfer architecture which requires a mechanical shutter or strobe light in order to
freeze the object motion.

Operation

The TM-1020 series outputs the progressive-scanned image with an electronic shutter in two different
formats:

1. Progressive-scanning digital and analog output

The CCD signal goes through A/D and D/A converters and through 10-bit in, 8-bit out
look-up table (LUT).

The analog output is the same as 75Ω, 1Vp-p format available from BNC and 12-pin con-
nector. The digital output is available from 31-pin connector (RS-422 or RS-644) or
Camera Link connector.

2. Double-speed scanning output (display output)

By selection, the two-row binning mode puts double-speed video for monitor display. It
repeats twice from one frame of input video. Refer to Section 3.8 on page 27 for infor­mation on scan modes.

3.4 Electronic Shutter

The TM-1020 series has a substrate drain-type shutter mechanism which provides a superb picture 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.

Page 19

TM-1020 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras

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.

3.5 Integration

The CCD imager of the TM-1020 series can be exposed for longer than the normal scan timing of 1/15
sec. This integration feature provides extra sensitivity for dark-environment applications. The
progressive-scan imager permits a full frame of resolution in non-interlace format. Integration is
achieved by controlling the #11 pin of the 12-pin connector to low (GND) or providing pulse-width
control up to 1/15 frames. Please refer to Figure 2.2.2 on page 6 for pin-out information on the 12-pin
connector.

The TM-1020 series's asynchronous reset is flexible and accepts external horizontal drive (HD) for
phase locking. When the VINIT pulse is applied, it resets the camera's scanning and purging of the
CCD. For asynchronous image capturing by frame grabbers, it outputs single FDV at async reset. For
the TM-1020-15 and -15CL versions, there are three modes to control the asynchronous reset and
shutter speed:

• Internal Shutter Speed with Fast Mode

• Internal Shutter Speed with Slow Mode

For the entire line of TM-1020 series cameras except the -15 and -15CL models, there are two modes to
control the asynchronous reset and shutter speed:

• Internal Shutter Speed Control

• External VINIT with Pulse Width

The video signal starts with internal VINIT. The camera operates the reset and shutter in the same way
as the external pulse width control mode. When the external VINIT pulse is applied, internal VINIT is
latched to HD and the internal VINIT is delayed to set up the shutter speed period. The shutter speed is
controlled by the dial switch from “1” to “8.” Video output timing starts right after the internal VINIT
and single shots, FDV is output at the internal VINIT timing.

3.6.2 External VINIT With Pulse Width No-Delay Shutter and ROI (Read-Out
Inhibit) (Except TM-1020-15 LVDS)

For multiple-camera applications such as 2D or 3D measurement and multi-angle inspection,
simultaneous image capturing at an exact shutter timing for all cameras is critical requirement. The TM­1020 CL’s asynchronous pulse-width control mode provides no-delay shutter as standard. Regardless of
the internal pulse timing, the camera discharges at the VINIT leading edge and transfers charges at the
trailing edge of the pulse. Even though each camera runs with slightly different H and data clock
timing, the image capturing is exactly simultaneous.

The TM-1020A series also has read-out-inhibit control (ROI) to control the vertical clock start (Async
Shutter #9). When ROI is low, V-clock is stopped and the transferred charges remain in the vertical shift
registers, which work like CCD memory. When the ROI is high, it clocks out the CCD data. This helps
a single frame grabber process multiple images in pipeline processing (sequential process).

The TM-1020 series can be reset with external reset pulse (VINIT). Set the dial switch to “9.” Apply a
pulse-width control VINIT signal generated from an external event trigger to the camera. The internal
reset pulse will be latched to HD and at the 9th HD timing from the external pulse leading edge
(negative going edge). The CCD discharge pulse will be generated to clear the images. The internal
VINIT will be generated at the following edge (positive going edge) of the external pulse, resetting the
internal timing including the video sync. The shutter speed is the same as the external pulse width, but
the integration delays 9H from the leading edge. For the immediate reset option, please contact JAI, Inc.

For the progressive format, one frame of video output will start from the rising edge of the pulse width
control. When VINIT is kept high (5V), subsequent frames will contain black or invalid video until the
next falling edge of Vinit triggers another frame.

The typical interline transfer CCD has fixed noise levels based on dark current (thermal or KT noise),
pattern noise, and the operating clock speed. In general, the level of the 20 MHz pixel clock CCD at
room temperature is around 20 to 50 electrons. The maximum capacity of CCD charges is limited by the
well capacity at saturation. The range is limited by the structure and the pixel size.

The TM-1020 series uses a 1” CCD with 9.0 µm x 9.0 µm pixel and two-phase vertical shift register
structure. The well capacity is 50,000 electrons. The theoretical dynamic range is 50,000:30 = 1667:1
(64 dB).

A typical CCD camera does not use the full dynamic range due to the nominal gain and the output
specification such as RS-170. The typical CCD camera’s gain is set at 16 to 22 dB and the RS-170 video
level is 714 mV. Using 20 dB gain for the calculation, CCD output is limited to 714/10 = 71.4 mV.
Since the CCD’s saturation voltage is 400 mV to 500 mV, it uses less than 1/5 of the full dynamic range.

Machine vision and outdoor applications, cannot afford to miss image information behind the
saturation, which is why the dynamic range adaptation is critical.

3.7.1 Programmable Look-Up Table (LUT) and Knee Control

The TM-1020 series has a built-in LUT (look-up table) for dynamic range control.

At a specific gain setting, the offset (minimum level.... dark point) and A/D reference top voltage

(maximum level... saturation point) are set to 10-bit A/D input so that the full dynamic range of the
CCD is utilized at 10-bit references as the input and the LUT output is converted into 8-bit to adjust the
gamma correction.

The look-up table has two knee points (variable gamma selection) that allow the 10-bit input to be
segmented into three regions. The look-up table selection can be made either by variable knee curve or
by direct input.

TM-1020 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras

3.8.1 Full Progressive Scan

Normal scanning mode the TM-1020 series is for 1008 x 1018 pixels. The standard speed with single­channel output is 15 frame/sec at the pixel clock of 20 MHz. The progressive scan reads every line from
top to bottom and, unique in an interlace-scan camera, all lines are obtained per image capturing with
electronic shutter.

3.8.2 Two-Row Binning

This is a standard feature in the TM-1020 series. The camera scans two rows together and outputs 1008
(H) x 509 (V) pixels at 30 frames per second. Two-row binning is typically implemented to increase
speed and to display real-time images on multi-sync monitors. When scan mode is changed from full
progressive scan to two-row binning, then the camera settings will default to those in page 1 settings.

3.9 External Sync and Pixel Locking

The TM-1020 series accepts an external sync of standard HD and VD at TTL level for general locking
to a system sync and clock. The external sync is not available in two-row binning and the frequency
requirement is as follows:

15 Frame/Sec Models: 30 Frame/Sec Models:

fHD = 15.734 KHz ±5% fHD = 31.47 KHz ±5%
fVD = 15.00 Hz ± 5% fVD = 30.00 Hz ± 5%
(Internal Master clock = 40.00 MHz, (Internal Master clock = 80.00 MHz,
Pixel clock = 20.00 MHz) Pixel clock = 40.00 MHz)
