TM-2016-8 and TM-2016-8CL Progressive Scan Shutter Camera

Operation Manual

1 Introduction

1.1 Product Description

The JAI, Inc. TM-2016-8* is a high-resolution, high-speed monochrome progressive scan CCD camera.
The interline-transfer type CCD permits full vertical and horizontal resolution of very high speed
shutter images and applications. The electronic shutter, which has speeds to 1/8,000 sec., can be reset
asynchronously by external pulse control. The frame rate is 8 fps.

The TM-2016-8 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-644 digital signal
output for interfacing with external image-processing systems. All the key functions are externally
controlled via RS-232C. The TM-2016-8CL model has a Camera Link output.

Multi-camera operation requires synchronized data and clock phases from each camera. The TM-2016­8 has a pixel clock locking phase lock loop (PLL) for multi-camera operation that is offered as an

option.

Applications for the TM-2016-8 include machine vision, medical imaging, intelligent transportation
systems, high-definition graphics, on-line inspection, gauging, character reading, archiving, and high­security surveillance.

1.2 Features

• Miniaturized and lightweight

The printed circuit boards in the TM-2016-8 have been arranged based on a new design philosophy
that 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 136 grams (CL version 141 grams).

• Imager

The TM-2016-8 uses a progressive scan interline transfer CCD that has the following features:

- Resolution of 1920 x 1080 active pixels for excellent image quality.

- 7.4 x 7.4 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 CCD can drive faster than 20 MHz

pixel clock rate and has an excellent S/N ratio that is greater than 60dB.

- Built-in microlenses.

• Electronic shutter

The TM-2016-8 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 1/30 (non-async mode only), 1/60, 1/125, 1/280, 1/500, 1/1,000, 1/2,000, 1/4,000,
and 1/8,000 second.

The CCD discharges at a high VINIT of 5V DC. 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 1080
lines of vertical resolution, as compared to a conventional CCD camera which captures only half
the vertical lines per shutter.

• Asynchronous reset

The TM-2016-8’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. There are 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.

- Internal shutter speed control. The speed control varies from 1/30 to 1/8,000 sec. The

video signal starts with internal V reset timing related to shutter speed.

• Asynchronous 0 Shutter

This mode is changed to allow back-to-back strobing, which is applied before and after the transfer
gate pulse (10th H from the VINIT trigger)

• No-Delay Asynchronous Shutter

No-delay asynchronous shutter for pulse-width control (asynchronous shutter mode 9 or
asynchronous shutter pulse width control mode)

• Asynchronous image capturing

Introduction

TM-2016-8 and TM-2016-8CL Progressive Scan Shutter Camera

The TM-2016-8 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.

• Read Out Inhibit (ROI)

When Asynchronous no-delay shutter mode is selected, it activates the ROI function. With the
ROI-controllable pulse to 11-pin input, externally controlled readout of the data is available.

• Extra VINIT trigger rejection during the valid frame readout

This avoids incomplete frame data when too many trigger pulses are applied within the same frame
period.

• Integration

The TM-2016-8 is capable of capturing high-resolution integration images. Its CCD imager can be
exposed for longer than the normal scan timing of 1/8 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 controlling the #11 pin of the 12­pin connector to low (GND) or pulse width control VINIT to pin #6.

• Output

The TM-2016-8 has an 8-bit RS-644 digital output for interfacing with external image-processing
systems. The Camera Link model is called TM-2016-8CL. Please contact your JAI, Inc.
representative for details on these options and models. The analog output is 1.0 Vp-p composite
video (75¾).

• Three-Year 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.

(No 12-pin connector)

PD-12UEP 100-240V AC/12V DC 1.2A universal power supply with European plug and

12-pin connector

If you are providing power through the 12-pin connector, the PD-12UUP and PD-12UEP power
supplies are available with the 12-pin mating connector already attached to the leads from the power
supply. The PD-12UU or PD-12UE power supply can be connected to the JAI, Inc. power cable either
directly or via a terminal strip.

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.

2.2.7 (c) “K” Series Power Supplies

The “K” series power supplies are designed primarily for OEM users who will be mounting the power
supply inside a protective enclosure. For use in exposed situations, the PD-12UU series power supplies
are recommended.

1. Attach the 110V line cord to the two terminals marked “AC.” Do not plug the cord into a 110V AC

socket until you have completed steps 1 through 3.

2. Attach the Gray and Yellow leads of the power cable to the Ground and 12V DC terminals, respec-

tively.

3. Replace the plastic terminal guard on the power supply.

2.2.7 (d) Building Your Own Power Cable

Refer to the 12-pin connector pin-out in Section 2.2.2 (a on page 6. Connect the Ground lead to pin #1,
and the +12V DC lead to pin #2 of the 12-pin connector. Power must be DC-regulated, and of sufficient
current to properly power the camera.

2.2.7 (e) Attaching the Power Cable to the Connector

The 12-pin connector is keyed and will only fit in one orientation. Follow these directions to properly
attach the power cable to the camera connector:

Installation

Page 14
TM-2016-8 and TM-2016-8CL Progressive Scan Shutter Camera

1. Rotate the connector while applying slight pressure until the keyways line up.

2. Press the connector into place until firmly seated.

3. Plug the power cord into the 100V AC socket. This will power the camera up.

2.2.8 Attaching the Analog Video Output

When connecting the TM-2016-8 to an analog frame grabber or a monitor, use the BNC connector on
the rear panel of the camera. The input of the monitor should be balanced for 75¾ termination. Standard
RG-59 type coaxial cable should carry a full video signal for up to 500 feet.

The multi-conductor cable 12P-02S from JAI, Inc. can be used to transmit analog video, power, sync.
signals, and serial communication. The mini coaxial leads in JAI, Inc. multi-conductor cables are
designed for short runs of no longer than 100 feet.

Note: Make sure that no extraneous wires are visible which could cause a short.

2.2.9 Attaching the Camera Lens

The TM-2016-8 camera accepts 1" 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.

The 2016-8 may perform better with a 35mm camera lens if you use the lens in combination with an F
to C-mount adaptor.

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-2016-8 uses a state-of-the-art progressive scanning interline transfer CCD which scans all lines
sequentially from top to bottom at one frame rate (8Hz). Like a non-interlace computer screen, it
generates a stable, crisp image without alternating lines and provides full vertical TV resolution of 1080
lines.

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.

The TM-2016-8 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 digital output is available from a 31-pin connector with RS-644
format (20MHz clock rate) or Camera Link output.

The analog output is the same as 75¾, 1Vp-p format at 8Hz rate available from BNC and
12-pin connector.

2. Double-speed scanning output (two-row binning)

By selection, the two-row binning mode provides double-speed video output. Both signal
outputs of the 31-pin connector and the analog output are at 16Hz with a 20MHz pixel
clock.

3.4 Electronic Shutter

The TM-2016-8 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 1/30 (non-async mode only), 1/60, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1,000, 1/2,000, 1/4,000, and 1/8,000
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 1080 lines
of vertical resolution, as compared to a conventional CCD camera which captures only half the vertical
lines per shutter.

Operation

3.5 Integration

The CCD imager of the TM-2016-8 can be exposed for longer than the normal scan timing of 1/8 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 3
sec. Please refer to Figure 2.2.2 on page 6 for pin-out information on the 12-pin connector.

The TM-2016'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. There are two
modes to control the asynchronous reset and shutter speed:

• External VINIT with Pulse Width

• Internal Shutter Speed Control

3.6.1 External VINIT With Pulse Width

The TM-2016-8 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 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.

Operation

Page 20
TM-2016-8 and TM-2016-8CL Progressive Scan Shutter Camera

For the progressive format, one frame of video output will start from the rising edge of the pulse width
control. As Asynchronous mode with external pulse input high, the video output will be disabled as the
camera continues discharging the CCD image, providing black video only.

3.6.2 No Delay Shutter and Read-out-inhibit (ROI)

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 a critical requirement. TM­2016 ’s async pulse width control mode provides no-delay shutter as standard. Regardless of the internal
pulse timing, it discharges at 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-2016-8 has also read-out-inhibit (ROI) to control the vertical clock to
start. When the ROI is low, V-clock is stopped and the transferred charges remain in the vertical shift
registers, which work as if they were CCD memory. When the ROI is high, it clocks out the CCD data.

Operation

TM-2016-8 and TM-2016-8CL Progressive Scan Shutter Camera

This helps a single frame grabber to process multiple images in pipeline processing (sequential
process).

The speed control ranges from 1/30 to 1/8,000 sec. The video signal starts with internal VINIT. With
the internal mode selected, 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 H
and 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. For the timing of the delayed
internal reset, LPULSE output of the 51-pin connector can be used.

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 total noise 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-2016-8 uses a 1” CCD with 7.4 µm x 7.4 µm pixel and two-phase vertical shift register
structure. The well capacity is 50,000 electrons. The theoretical dynamic range is 50,000:40 = 1250:1
(62 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-2016-8 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.

3.8.1 Full Progressive Scan

Normal scanning mode the TM-2016-8 is for 1920 x 1080 pixels. The standard speed with single­channel output is 8 frame/sec at the pixel clock of 20 MHz. The progressive scan reads every line from
top to bottom and all lines are obtained per image capturing with electronic shutter.

3.8.2 Two-Row Binning

This is a standard feature in the TM-2016-8. The camera scans two rows together and outputs 1920 (H)
x 540 (V) pixels at 16 frames per second. Two-row binning is typically implemented to increase speed
and to display real-time images on multi-sync monitors.

3.9 External Sync and Pixel Locking

The TM-2016-8 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 only available for 8-frame mode and the frequency
requirement is as follows:

fHD = 9.09 KHz ±5%
fVD = 8.00 Hz ± 5%
(Internal Master clock = 40.00 MHz,
Pixel clock = 20.00 MHz)

*

For multiple-camera applications such as 2D or 3D measurement, multiple-camera inspection, a parallel
digital data input capability is important. The high resolution and precision measurement requires that
camera data be consistent with each other and free from PLL jitter. This is especially important for
digital output multiplexing. The TM-2016-8 has an optional capability for pixel clock locking. It takes
RS-644 (differential) external clock and H and V reset sync (TTL or RS-644). By doing this, each
camera’s digital data is in-phase with the pixel clock (data clock) for multiplexing or parallel input to a
frame grabber.

3.11 Serial Communication Kit (TM-2016-8)

The TM-2016-8’s functions can be controlled by a PC via RS-232C communication using the CS-232E
serial communication kit. This kit consists of the RS-232B-12 cable, software disk, and quick-start card.
The software disk contains setup files for the graphical user interface (GUI) program. Refer to the
software manual for information on the GUI.
