TM-1300 Progressive Scanning
High Resolution Camera

Operations Manual

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Product Description

Compact and lightweight, the TM-1300 is a state-of-the-art CCD camera with a 2/3 inch 1.3K x 1K
progressive scan interline transfer CCD imager.

1.2 Features

1.3K x 1K progressive scan interline transfer CCD

•

The advantages of this CCD are:

-

-

-

-

-

Asynchronous reset

•

The TM-1300 can be reset with an external reset pulse (VINIT). This feature is especially
important for capturing moving objects at a precise location in the field of view, for applications
such as a conveyer belt, fast event observation, and still picture capturing.

Async image capturing

•

The TM-1300 captures an image using async reset and provides continuous video output of the
same image.This makes it simpler for an ordinary frame grabber to capture the async reset images.

High resolution (1300 x 1030 active pixels) for very high resolution and image quality.
Square pixels (6.7 x 6.7 µ m for precise dimensional measurement).
High speed electronic shutter capability results in high dynamic resolution of moving objects.
Progressive scanning eliminates interlace deterioration of image.
High sensitivity and low noise at fast scanning.

INTRODUCTION

•

Frame memory and digital output

The TM-1300 has a built-in frame grabber and a frame memory. There are two modes of digital
output available:

Direct output mode: 10-bit output without going through an internal frame buffer (direct from the

A/D converter via RS-422).

Memory mode: 8-bit output with the internal frame buffer, to capture the asynchronous image

inside of the camera. The 10-bit A/D con v erter pro vides 1024 gray le vels with maximized signal-to­noise ratio. The output can be real time digital output or captured image (frozen picture).

•

Pixel clock rate

The standard pixel clock frequency is 20 MHz.

•

Integration

The TM-1300 is capable of capturing high resolution integration images. Integration can last from
1/12 sec. to a few seconds.

•

Analog output (SVGA, BNC)

Since the TM-1300 is non-TV format, a frame grabber and computer, special monitor or SVGA
monitor must be used to display the video output.

The TM-1300 outputs analog signals from the SVGA and BNC connectors. The analog signal is
processed in the camera for scan conversion in order to output high frame rate video (SVGA). The
analog outputs are not recommended to be used for signal processing. While the digital is 10-bit
non-interlace, the analog is 8-bit or 8-bit x 3 (SVGA) non-interlace output.

•

A/D reference voltage and dynamic range control

The 10-bit A/D con v erter’s reference voltage can be controlled by back panel switches or RS-232C.
The high reference and low reference variation provides A/D or signal processing dynamic range to
maximize CCD characteristics.

•

Remote RS-232C control

The back panel mode switch functions, gain control, shutter speed, A/D reference functions and the
data preset are all controllable via RS-232C communication.

1.3 Functional Options

Optical Filter Removal (OP3-2)

•

•

Glassless CCD Imager (OP21)

•

Internal IR Filter (OP3-1)

1.4 Applications

The versatile TM-1300 meets the needs of a broad range of applications, including high resolution
image capturing, machine vision, computer graphics, gauging, avionics, microscopy, medical imaging,
character and fine pattern recognition, document reading and high end surveillance.

2.2.3 Power Supply and Power Cable Setup

2.2.3 (a) Power Supplies

PULNiX recommends the following power supplies:

K25-12 110V AC/12V DC 2.1A power supply
P-15-12 220V AC/12V DC 2.1A power supply
K50-12 110V AC/12V DC 4.2A power supply
PD-12P 110V AC/12V DC 0.5A power supply

For users providing power through the 12-pin connector, the PD-12P power supply is available with the
12-pin mating connector already attached to the leads from the power supply. The PD-12 power supply
can be connected to the PULNiX power cable via a terminal strip or directly.

If wiring the PD-12 power supply directly, please note the following:

•

Twist the lead ends together and tin solder 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.

• Properly insulate all connections to prevent shorting.

2.2.3 (b) Using PULNiX Power Cables

If you are using PULNiX power cables, such as the 12P-02, KC-10, etc., please refer to the pin-out
diagram. The color coded leads use Grey for Ground and Yellow for +12V DC.

Note: Make sure that the unused leads are not touching and that there is no possibility that the

leads could short due to exposed wires.

2.2.3 (c) Using the “K” Series Power Supplies

Attach the 110V line cord to the two terminals marked “AC”. Do not plug the cord into a 110V AC
socket until later in the procedure. Next, attach the Grey and Yellow leads of the power cable to the
Ground and 12V DC terminals respectively. Be sure to replace the plastic terminal guard on the power
supply at this time.

Note: 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 DC-12N and PD-12 are recommended.

2.2.3 (d) Building Your Own Power Cables

If you are building your own po wer cables, consult the pin-out for the camera purchased and connect the
Ground and +12V power leads of the PC-12P power connector to Pin #1 and Pin #2, respectively
(power must be DC regulated, and of sufficient current to properly power the camera).

2.2.3 (e) Attaching the Power Cable to the Connector

The 12-pin connector is keyed and will only fit in one orientation. Rotate the connector while applying
slight pressure until the keyways line up. Press the connector into place until firmly seated.

The power cord may now be plugged into the 100V AC socket, and the camera powered up.

2.2.4 Attaching the Video Output

Most users utilize the BNC connector for video output from the camera. Connect the output from the
camera to the input of your monitor, VCR or switching device. The input of the monitor should be
balanced for 75Ω termination. Standard RG-59 type coaxial cable should carry a full video signal for up
to 500 feet.

Page 8 TM-1300 Progressive Scanning High Resolution Camera

INSTALLATION

Users wishing to output the video and input the power and sync to a camera over a single cable can use
the PULNiX multi-conductor cables, such as the 12P-02, the KC-10, etc. The mini coaxial leads in
PULNiX 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.

2.2.5 Attaching the Camera Lens

The TM-1300 camera accepts standard 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.

2.2.6 Back Focusing the Lens

T o backfocus the TM-1300 camera, first attach a C-mount lens in the lens mount. Be sure that the lens is
properly mounted.

Set the lens focus to infinity (if the lens is a manual iris, set the iris to a high f-stop while still retaining a
well-illuminated image). Obtain the best focus possible at this setting, then loosen the two miniature hex
head set screws locking the focus ring in place. Now turn the entire lens and focus ring assembly back
and forth until the best image is obtained. Tighten the focus ring set screws. Your backfocus is now set.

2.2.7 Auto Iris Lens Setup

Auto-iris lenses with full video input can be used with the PULNiX TM-1300, although this camera
model does not come equipped with auto-iris input.

Note: Make sure that the power is removed from the camera before connecting or disconnecting

the auto-iris lens. There is a small chance that damage could occur to the auto-iris lens by
plugging or unplugging it while the camera is powered up.

Power down the camera before installing the auto-iris lens. To install the auto-iris lens in a PULNiX
camera for which the auto-iris output is not supplied, wire the signal (video) on the lens into the
terminal 1 Vp to peak video output on the camera.

Point the camera at a light area and then quickly towards a darker area. If everything is working
properly, the iris should adjust for the light change.

2.2.8 Monitor Display Mode

For monitoring real time video, connect the SVGA output to a SVGA/SXGA computer monitor.
Since the standard frame rate is 12 Hz, it may not be easy to see detail on a monitor. Therefore, the TM-

1300 display mode provides scan conversion to 47 frame / sec rate. The analog output of the TM-1300
is more likely to be monitored by oscilloscope for the waveform analysis.

Analog signal monitoring does not take full advantage of the 10-bit signal processing capability. For 10­bit output applications, use the digital output connector.

TM-1300 Progressive Scanning High Resolution Camera Page 9

INSTALLATION

2.2.9 Connectors and Cables

The digital output connector is optional. Mating connector ordering information is as follows: PULNiX
Part No. 15-1623 (Airborn P/N: MP211-031-113-3400)

Page 10 TM-1300 Progressive Scanning High Resolution Camera

OPERATION

3 OPERATION

3.1 Modes of Operation

The TM-1300 is designed to accommodate a high resolution, on-line inspection reset mechanism with
full frame shutter. It accepts external horizontal sync (HD, TTL Levels) to lock the camera and VINIT
pulse for resetting the camera asynchronously. The shutter speed can be controlled by either RS-232
computer commands or internal shutter speed control with a 10-position dial switch on the back panel.

3.1.1 Shutter Control Switch

The TM-1300's asynchronous reset is flexible and takes external HD for phase locking. Applying a
VINIT pulse resets the camera's scanning and purging of the CCD. Do not supply VD if the
asynchronous reset is used. Instead, use HD to synchronize the camera to the external device.

When the async reset pulse (VINIT) is applied to High state (+5V)
with the dial switch set from1 to 9, the TM-1300 asynchronous
camera discharges the photo charges into the substrate drain
although the camera is still running on its sync timing and only
outputs captured video. When the negative going reset pulse is
applied, the camera will latch the falling edge to its next horizontal

8
7

drive and will immediately reset the vertical sync timing. The
maximum delay is 80.645µsec. (1H). Then the camera will start
integrating for the period of shutter control set by either computer

Shutter Control Switch

control or internal shutter control. Therefore the horizontal phase
will not be interrupted. The TM-1300 asynchronous camera will output one full frame of shuttered
video after reset.

OPERATION

Mode 0: Normal Mode
Mode 1-4: Fast Mode
Mode 5-9: Slow Mode

3.1.1 (a) Direct Shutter Control Mode

For Direct Shutter Control Mode, set the dial switch to “E”. When the up/do wn switch on the back plate
is used, the shutter increments or decrements by 1H from the current setting. By controlling through
RS-232C, the exact shutter speed can be programmed by feeding H number from 1H (actual shutter
speed is 0.5H) to 1000H. The back plate control status can be read with RS-232C control and saved into
customer pages (page A is the power up default; whenever power is switched on, page A status is
loaded). This shutter control can be applied to both manual and async shutter modes. As shown in
Table1 (above), the shutter speeds are inversed in manual and async modes.

At async shutter, the internal VINIT is generated at the leading edge (negative going edge) of the
external trigger pulse. Internal timing, including the video sync, is reset. The shutter speed is the same
as in manual shutter mode. One frame of video output will start at the completion of the exposure time
(approx. 243µsec.).

In Memory Output mode, the camera will output the same video from memory when VINIT is kept high
(5V) and update the image upon receiving the next trigger pulse. In Direct mode, with external pulse
input high, the video output is disabled as the camera keeps discharging the CCD image and provides
only black video. Therefore, if the direct digital output mode is chosen, the video output is only one
frame and then black video with sync.

3.1.1 (b) Internal Reset Mode

For Internal Reset Mode, set the 10-position dial switch from “1” to “9”. When this mode is selected,
the camera resets with internal VINIT timing, which is latched to Hd, and video output is also
synchronized with internal VINIT timing without further delay. The shutter speed is controlled by the
dial switch.

3.1.2 Asynchronous Shutter

For Async Shutter mode, select mode control switch #2 and press the up/down switch down. When the
negative going reset pulse VINIT is applied to pin 6 of the 12-pin connector, the camera will latch the
falling edge to its next horizontal drive and immediately reset the vertical sync timing. Therefore, the
horizontal pulse phase will not be interrupted.

The TM-1300 asynchronous camera outputs a full frame of shuttered video in progressive scanning
format from a frame buffer. The frame buffer is updated with each new image captured upon receiving
the next negative reset pulse. Since the internal frame buffer is designed to capture asynchronously
triggered images and output them as continuous video, an ordinary frame grabber can be used with the
TM-1300 (some frame grabber boards cannot accept disrupted sync).

The scan converted analog output is continuous sync without interruption at the trigger point. Therefore,

3.1.3 Frame Memory (Memory Output Mode)

The TM-1300 has a built-in frame memory which outputs progressive scanning images at a 12 Hz rate
(12 frames per sec). This feature provides the following advantages:

1. Asynchronously captured images are output as standard continuous video signals so that a monitor

or frame grabber can display or process without a special asynchronous video grabber.

2. Integration video is continuously output until the next capture. Normally, a camera cannot output

the video signal during the integration, and the periodic integration causes a blinking video signal.
The TM-1300 memory keeps the stored image until the next image is completed so that there is no
blank interval during integration.

3. Digital format of the video output can be used as a direct interface with the computer. The format is

progressive.

3.1.3 (a) Activating Frame Memory

1. Asynchronous reset mode

Select switch #2 of the back panel for async.When External VINIT is high (5V), the TM-1300
expects the async pulse input. It resets at the negative going pulse edge and captures the frame
regardless of the shutter speed. The video output is kept disabled as the CCD is discharged
continuously during VINIT high. When the first VINIT pulse comes in, it resets the timing and

Page 14 TM-1300 Progressive Scanning High Resolution Camera

OPERATION

captures the image (Fig. 5). The captured image is kept until the next pulse is applied for the next
image. If the switch is at normal mode (manual shutter mode), the video output is real time with
manual shutter.

2. Integration

Activate EN INT (Enable Integration) of mode selection #8 by pushing down the switch then input
INTEG control (#11 of 12-pin connector or #21 of 31-pin connector) as active low (TTL). When it
is low, the TM-1300 keeps integrating and, upon the rising edge of the INTEG control pulse, it
captures the frame and keeps it until next end of integration. When EN INT is high (open), video
output is in real time without freezing and one frame of the integrated image appears upon ending
of INTEG control pulse (during INTEG control low, it keeps the previous image but when INTEG
is high it only holds one frame). FDV (Field) Data Valid) is disabled during the integration and the
vertical pulse starts when the image is output.

3.1.3 (b) Progressive Scanning

The TM-1300 uses a state-of-the-art CCD called a “Progressive scanning interline transfer CCD” which
scans all lines sequentially from top to bottom at one frame rate (12 Hz). 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 monitor display may not be able to show 1000 lines due to monitor resolution
and interlace scanning of the analog output). 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-1300 outputs the progressive scanned image with an electronic shutter in tw o dif ferent formats:

1. Progressive scanning digital output

The CCD signal goes through A/D con v erters. The frame memory is capable of capturing async and
integration video without having special frame grabbers. 10-bit digital output is available from 31­pin connector with EIA-422 format (20 MHz clock rate).

2. Non-interlace scan analog output

The TM-1300 outputs non-interlace video for SVGA monitor display. The digital output of 31-pin
connector is also at 12 Hz with a 20 MHz pixel clock (progressive scan).

3.1.4 Video Output

3.1.4 (a) Async Reset Image Capture

With built-in memory, an image can be captured when VINIT pulse is applied. The captured image will
be continuously scanned out until the next VINIT pulse occurs. (Ref. Figure 3, pg. 11).

3.1.4 (b) Built-in Memory for Integration Image Capture

With the Freeze Enable with mode #8 (push down), set the integration control (pin #11) to low for
integration. Integrated video can be captured once integration control goes back to high. Upon rising
edge of integration, the image is transfered (SG) 9H later.

3.1.4 (c) Continuous Sync Output

When async reset is applied, video sync is also reset asynchronously. This phenomenon causes video
picture rolling or bouncing on the monitor. With this feature, a continuous output (no more bouncing or
rolling pictures) will be achieved at async reset.

3.1.5 Mode Control Functions

3.1.5 (a) 0. Normal Mode

The camera outputs real time normal video signal without electronic shutter or asynchronous functions.
The shutter speed is 1/12 sec.

3.1.5 (b) 1. MGC Gain Control

CDS amplifier gain can be controlled by the up/down switch. The minimum gain is 6dB and the
maximum gain is 24dB (factory set is 18 dB at power on).

3.1.5 (c) 2. Async / Manual Shutter Selection

The electronic shutter mode is selected by up (manual) and down (async) switch. When it is in manual
mode, the shutter speed is programmed by the shutter speed switch. When the async shutter is selected,
the shutter timing works with VINIT (async reset pulse). If VINIT is kept high, it keeps discharging the
CCD. When negati ve going pulse comes in, it resets the timing and captures a image, holding it until the
next pulse comes. The async shutter speed is also selected by the shutter selection switch but exposure
times are inverted from manual shutter times.

3.1.5 (d) 3. and 4. Gain Selection

Fixed specific gain is recalled by selecting 3 or 4 and pressing up/down switch up or down.

3 - up9 dB
3 - down12 dB

Page 16 TM-1300 Progressive Scanning High Resolution Camera

OPERATION

4 - up16 dB
4 - down22 dB

3.1.5 (e) 5. Image Output Format Selection

The TM-1300 has three output connectors. The digital output is 10-bit or 8-bit from 31-pin connector
and the analog outputs are SVGA format (DB-15 connector) and composite video (BNC connector)
with sync.

When Image Selection (mode #5) is selected by pushing the switch up, the Direct Digital Output mode
is selected. This bypasses the memory buffer (cannot grab and freeze video images), and 10-bit 12
frame/sec digital output is generated. The analog output is scan-converted to SVGA speed
(47 frame/sec).

When the switch is down, Memory mode is selected. The digital signal goes through the memory buffer
for grabbing images and the output is 8-bit. The frame rate of both digital and analog is 12 frame/sec.
(no SVGA output).

3.1.5 (f) 6. and 7. A/D Reference Voltage Control

The CCD output itself has over 60 dB of dynamic range. However, the signal normally used to display
or capture does not have such a wide range. For instance, if the amp gain is set at 12 dB (4X) and the
display is 100 IRE in which saturation is 714 mV, the actual signal from the CCD is 714/4 = 178 mV.
This is 1/3 of the imager saturation. By adjusting Vref, the full dynamic range at a specific gain can be
obtained.

When low light and high sensitivity is required, the reference can be set to the narrow range so that the
small signal can be digitally amplified and the gray level can be shifted to the middle region for easy
observation and processing. The input signal to A/D is from 2.2 V to 3.7 V. The typical factory set is VL
= 2.2 V and VH = 3.2 V.

OPERATION

3.1.5 (g) 8. Freeze (ENINT) Enable

The internal frame buffer can freeze the image by selecting this function. When the up/down switch is
pushed up, it is a real time image. When it is down, it freezes the final image. This freeze mode is also
used for integration control. At freeze mode, the TM-1300 can be used to integrate (log exposure) by
controlling INTEG control input on 12-pin connector (pin #11). It keeps integrating as long as the pin
#11 is low and grabs an image when the integration is over.

3.1.5 (h) 9. Factory Default Recall

When mode 9 is selected at power up, camera starts with the factory set parameter. When camera is
already powered, select the switch #9 and press up/down switch up to recall factory default. (User
cannot change this parameter)

3.1.5 (i) A. User Default Page

This page is a default page for camera start up. When camera is powered up, it starts operating with the
parameters stored in page #A except switch positions of #9 (factory set), #B through #D (user set
specific pages).The last changes during optimization should be stored in page #A so that the default will
be recalled upon next power up.

3.1.5 (j) B. through D. User Pages

User can store specific parameters in pages from B through F.

3.1.5 (k) E. Direct Shutter

This mode accepts shutter control by every 1H (80µsec) increment (up) or decrement (down) for 1/12
sec to 1/39,000 sec. If RS-232C is connected, the exact shutter control number (1H to 1000H) is
applied.

3.1.5 (l) F. Fast Dump

One of the unique features of the TM-1300 is the capability of fast dump charges kept inside of the
CCD’s vertical shift registers prior to image integration in async reset mode. This feature reduces
vertical smear lines from a point light source during fast shutter conditions. The lower side smear,
however, cannot be reduced due to the CCD structure.

3.1.7 TM-1300 RS-232C Control

The TM-1300’ s built-in microcomputer chip (CPU) can be controlled by an e xternal RS-232C interface.
The internal CPU controls TM-1300 operation mode and DSP parameter changes. Contact PULNiX for
the TM-1300 software diskette.

3.1.7 (a) RS-232C Communication Default Condition

Parity: None
Data: 8-bit
STOP: 1-bit
Baud rage: 9600 bps

If other communication conditions are required, please contact PULNiX.

Note: The TM-1300 protocol requires no handshaking.

3.1.7 (b) RS-232C Command

The TM-1300 command package begins with “.” (Start of Text = 3AH), and is then followed by the
Command Code (C.C. ..one alphabet), Command option parameter and CR (End of Text = 0DH) to end.

When a packet is received by the TM-1300 (ETX:03H is detected), it reads the internal packet of the
receiver buf fer. If it is the correct packet, then it processes the parameters based on the command. When
the process is completed, it sends a completion signal (AK packet). If an error is detected, a No-go
signal (NK packet) is sent back and it disregards the packet signal in the buffer. When an NK packet is
sent from TM-1300, the host must correct the error and resend the packet.

Example: Executing manual shutter control #2.

The C.C. packet is sent as follows:

“:”, “S”, “M”, “2”, CR
3AH, 53H, 4DH, 32H, 0DH

where “S”.....Shutter control command mode

“M”.....Manual mode

5.1.4 C-Mount Specifications

FIGURE 19. C-Mount

The Flange Back Length of the “CS-Mount” is 12.5mm versus 17.526 of the “C-Mount”. The shorter
Flange Back Length of the “CS-Mount” allows room for the stripe filter incorporated in the color
camera. Additionally, the shorter Flange Back Length allows for reduction of the effective diameter of
the first lens and reduces the number of lens elements. The common C-Mount lens is completely
compatible with a CS-Mount camera when a 5mm extension ring is inserted between the lens and the
camera.
