TM-6760 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras
Operation Manual
1 Introduction
1.1 Product Description
The JAI, Inc. TM-6760 series are VGA format, high-speed monochrome progressive scan CCD
cameras.
high speed shutter images and applications. The electronic shutter, which has speeds to 1/32,000 sec.,
can be reset asynchronously by external pulse control. Three frame rates are available: 30, 60, and 120
fps. On-chip micro lenses provide increased sensitivity.
The TM-6760 has a full dynamic range control function, which can be set at externally selectable lookup-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-6760CL model has a Camera Link output and its key functions are externally
controlled via differential serial communication of Camera Link.
Applications for the TM-6760 include machine vision, medical imaging, intelligent transportation
systems, high-definition graphics, on-line inspection, gauging, character reading, archiving, and highsecurity surveillance.

The progressive interline-type CCD permits full vertical and horizontal resolution of very
*. Unless specifically mentioned, all information in this manual is relevant to all cameras in the TM-
6760 series, including the RM-6760, RMC-6760, RM-6760CL, RMC-6760CL, TM-6760, TMC6760, TM-6760CL, and TMC-6760CL.

1.2 Features
• Miniaturized and lightweight
The printed circuit boards in the TM-6760 have been arranged with a new design philosophy in
mind. 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 138 grams.
• Imager
The TM-6760 uses a progressive scan interline transfer CCD that has the following features:
- Resolution of 648 x 484 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 CCD has a clock rate faster than 25
MHz pixel and has an excellent S/N ratio that is greater than 48dB.
- The CCD for the TM-6760 has built-in microlenses.
• Electronic shutter
The TM-6760 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 1/125, (non-async mode only) 1/250, 1/500, 1/1,000, 1/2,000, 1/4,000, 1/8,000,
1/16,000, or 1/32,000 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
484 lines of vertical resolution, as compared to a conventional CCD camera which captures only
half the vertical lines per shutter.
• Asynchronous reset
The TM-6760’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 control mode. The speed control varies from 1/250 to 1/32,000 sec. The
video signal starts with internal V reset timing related to shutter speed.
Introduction
• Output
The TM-6760 has an 8-bit RS-644 (LVDS) digital output for interfacing with external imageprocessing systems. The TM-6760 camera is also available with RS-422 digital output as an option
(OP-93). The TM-6760CL has a Camera Link output. The analog output is 1.0 Vp-p composite
video (75 ohms).
• Asynchronous image capturing
The TM-6760 captures async reset images and provides single-shot video output with single FDV.
This makes it simpler for an ordinary framegrabber to capture the async reset images.
• Integration
The TM-6760 is capable of capturing high-resolution integration images. Its CCD imager can be
exposed for longer than the normal scan timing of 1/60 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 of the 12-pin connector up to 1
second.
