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.
