2.2.5 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.

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.

Page 8 TM-7200/TM-6200 High Resolution Digital CCD Camera

INSTALLATION

2.2.6 Attaching the Camera Lens

The TM-7200/TM-6200 camera accepts 1/2" or larger format size C-mount lenses. To attach the C­mount 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.

2.2.7 Back Focusing the Lens

To backfocus the TM-7200/TM-6200 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.

2.2.8 Auto-Iris Lens Setup

Auto-iris lenses with full video input can be used with the PULNiX TM-7200/TM-6200, although this
camera model does not come equipped with auto-iris output.

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 input 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.

2.2.9 Monitor Display Mode

For monitoring real time video, connect the video output to a video monitor or other device.

2.2.10 Connectors and Cables

12-pin connector and cable: Standard cable is 12P-02 (2m, 8 conductor cable) for power and external
controls.

3 OPERATION

3.1 Modes of Operation

OPERATION

3.1.1 Shutter Operation

The TM-7200/TM-6200 has a substrate drain type shutter mechanism which provides a superb picture
at various speeds without smearing. Manual shutter speed control can be selected at 1/60, 1/125, 1/250,
1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/4000, or 1/10,000 sec. rate.

3.1.2 Asynchronous Reset with Shutter

The TM-7200/TM-6200'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.

When async reset pulse (VINIT) is applied to High state (+5V) with dial

switch select from1 to 9, the TM-7200/TM-6200 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 drive and reset v ertical sync timing immediately . Then
it starts integrating for the period of shutter control set by either an external
pulse width pulse or internal shutter control. Therefore the horizontal phase
will not be interrupted. The TM-7200/TM-6200 asynchronous camera will output one field of shuttered
video after reset.

Manual Mode Async Reset Mode

OPERATION

There are three modes to control the asynchronous reset and shutter speed, External Pulse W idth Mode,
Internal Fast Reset Mode and Internal Slow Reset Mode.

3.1.2 (a) External Pulse Width Mode

The TM-7200/TM-6200 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 and at 9th HD timing 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, but
the integration delays 9H from the leading edge.

Exposure Time

For the progressive format, one frame of video output will start from the rising edge of the pulse width
control. The camera will output the same video from memory when VINIT is kept high (5V), then
update the image upon receiving the next pulse. At async mode with e xternal pulse input high, the video
output will be disabled as the camera continues discharging the CCD image providing black video only.

This feature is especially important in capturing moving objects at the precise location of the field of
view, such as belt conveyer, fast event observation and still image capturing.

TM-7200/TM-6200 High Resolution Digital CCD Camera Page 11

3.1.2 (b) Internal Fast Reset Mode

The video signal has no delay from the reset timing. Shutter speed range is 1/2400 to 1/31,000 sec.
Select a dial switch setting from "1" to "4". When the fast reset 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 on the camera’s
rear panel.

3.1.2 (c) Internal Slow Reset Mode

The speed control ranges from 1/120 to 1/950 sec. The video signal starts with internal V. Select a dial
switch setting from "1" to "4". W ith the internal slo w reset mode selected, the camera operates the reset
and shutter in the same way as the external double pulse control mode. When the external VINIT pulse
is applied, internal VINIT is latched to Hd and the second internal VINIT signal is delayed to set up the
shutter speed period. The shutter speed is controlled by the dial switch from "5" to "8". Video output
timing starts right after the second internal VINIT.

OPERATION

3.1.3 Integration

The CCD imager of the TM-7200/TM-6200 can be exposed longer than normal TV timing (16.7 msec.).
Because the TM-7200/TM-6200 has an interline transfer chip, a full frame of resolution is achievable
with the Frame Mode option (OP60).This feature provides high sensitivity for dark environment
applications.

Note: A full frame is not available in the shutter mode.

Integration is achieved by controlling pin #11 of the 12-pin connector to Low (GND). Integration also
can be controlled by VINIT with the pulse width more than one field.

During integration, the signal processing keeps optical black levels as the reference black video to
clamp video levels. This results in cancelling out thermal noise during the integration period.

3.1.4 Field Mode and Frame Mode

The standard factory setting for the TM-7200/TM-6200 cameras is FIELD MODE. The mode selection
is by solder jumper on the process board and should only be changed by a PULNiX factory authorized
representative. If FRAME MODE is required, please contact PULNiX for this setting. The differences
between the two modes is explained below.

3.1.4 (a) Field Mode

In Field Mode, two horizontal rows are scanned together, changing the pair at each interlace scan
(Fig. ). The sensitivity of the CCD is doubled for one field of integration, therefore it can obtain the
same sensitivity as in Frame Mode in half the period of time. This is an advantage when the shutter is
used often. Because of the alternating two row scanning, Moire is almost unnoticeable. While the
vertical resolution is not as good as in Frame Mode, it is sufficient to vie w the full vertical resolution of
the TV format.

Note: Field Mode cannot provide full frame resolution with strobe lighting applications.

3.1.4 (b) Frame Mode

In Frame Mode, each horizontal row is scanned as interlace scanning. The integration of each pixel is
one frame period. Vertical pixel resolution is good, and exact location is obtained. A disadvantage as
compared with Field Mode is the tendency to show vertical Moire. For strobe lighting, Frame Mode
must be used to achieve full frame resolution.

3.1.5 (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.

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

With EN INT high (enable integration, pin #10), set the integration control (pin #11) to low for
integration. Integrated video can be captured once integration control goes back to high. All captured
fields in this case are the same fields.

With the full frame integration option, the TM-7200/TM-6200 provides one full frame (two fields) of
integrated image. This option requires additional frame memory inside the camera.

3.1.5 (c) Continuous Sync Output Option (OP51) )

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

3.1.6 (c) Frame Data Valid and Odd/Even Field Valid

This is differential line-driven signal with EIA-422 format. It is active high during the transfer of each
frame data. During integration, both LDV (Line Data Valid) and FDV (Frame Data Valid) are kept low
and restart upon the completion of integration. When F1 is kept high, the camera outputs odd field data;
otherwise, even field data is output.

5.1.4 C-Mount Specifications

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.
