TM-6710/6710CL High-Speed
Progressive Scanning CCD Camera
Operation Manual
1 Introduction
1.1 Product Description
The TM-6710* is a high-resolution monochrome CCD camera with “quad speed” 120FPS dual-tap,
dual-channel digital output.
1.2 Features
• Three scanning modes
• Full frame electronic shutter
• 1/2" progressive scan interline transfer CCD
- Non-interlace quad speed scanning (484 active lines at 120Hz or 60Hz (selectable))
- 200 lines partial scanning (at 236Hz)
- 100 lines partial scanning (at 300Hz)
The substrate drain electronic shutter captures images at various speeds without any smearing. The
electronic shutter works in all there scanning modes except slow speed at partial scanning.
Advantages include:
- High resolution (648 H x 484 V) active pixels for very high speed and image quality.
- Square pixels (9.0 x 9.0 µm). Precise dimensional measurement ability.
- High speed electronic shutter capability offering high dynamic resolution of moving
objects, as well as electronic iris control. This eliminates the need for a mechanical shutter.
*. Unless specifically mentioned, all information in this manual is relevant to both the TM-6710 and
TM-6710CL cameras.

Introduction
- Progressive scan, which eliminates interlace deterioration of the image while offering an
easy-to-use computer interface.
- High sensitivity and low noise at fast scanning. Can drive faster than 25 MHz pixel clock
rate. Excellent S/N ratio (>45 dB, 8-bit typical). Built-in micro lens.
- Partial scan capability, which allows 100 and 200 lines of partial scan up to 300Hz scan-
ning.
• Asynchronous reset
The TM-6710 captures an image using asynchronous reset. This feature is especially important for
applications requiring the capture of images of moving objects at the precise location in the field of
view, such as a belt conveyer, fast event observation and still picture capture.
An asynchronously resettable frame grabber is required to capture the async reset images.
• Digital output
The TM-6710 has a pair of 8-bit A/D converters, and a line buffer that generates 16-bit, 25MHz
dual channel digital output. The digital output is standard RS-644 format with LDV, FDV and clock
output for standard frame grabbers or Camera Link. The Camera Link model is called the TM6710CL.
• RS-232C (or RS-485) control
External computer control allows the operator to remotely adjust the following functions: clock
speed, shutter, gain, A/D reference and scan format. Camera Link controls the same functions via a
Camera Link serial communication.
• VGA display output
Because progressive scan cameras are not in TV format, the display of the video signal can only be
achieved by using a frame grabber and computer. The VGA output of the TM-6710 scans the FIFO
memory read out at 120Hz at 50.98 MHz pixel clock (or 60 Hz) non-interlace (multiplexed output).
• Miniaturized, lightweight and rugged
All PULNiX cameras are built with the same design principles: Solid state technology;
miniaturization; application-specific features such as custom design, remote imagers, special
functions for various application needs; and design robust enough even for military applications.
• Warranty
Please contact your factory representative for details about the warranty.
1.3 Applications
Designed for speed and functional versatility, the TM-6710 is ideal for applications such as high speed
image capturing, machine vision, computer graphics, gauging, avionics, microscopy, character and fine
pattern recognition, document reading and high-end surveillance.

2.2.2 Power Supply and Power Cable Setup
PULNiX recommends the following power supply:
PD-12UUP 110V AC/12V DC 1.2A power supply
If you are providing power through the 12-pin connector, the PD-12UUP power supply is available with
the 12-pin mating connector already attached to the leads from the power supply. The PD-12UU power
supply can be connected directly to the PULNiX power cable or via a terminal strip. If you choose
direct wiring, note the following:
• The lead ends must be twisted together and tin-soldered for strength and electrical continuity.
• Use shrink tubing or a similar insulator to prevent exposed leads from touching.
• 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.
If using PULNiX power cables, such as the 12P-02S, etc., please refer to the pin-out diagram. The
color-coded leads use Gray for Ground and Yellow for +12V DC.
