Features / Introduction
1.1 Features
1.2 Introduction
Texas Instruments has developed the first in a series of programmable video
cameras that utilize its very-high-resolution TC216 and TC217 CCD image
sensors. Features of the MC-1134P camera include:
-
RS-170 monochrome video format
-
High-quality image
-
1134 (H) x 486 (V) active picture elements
-
Internal or external synchronization
-
Factory-programmable timing to address specific customer needs
-
Small tubular package
The MULTICAM MC-1134P system is intended for scientific, medical, and
industrial image data-processing applications. The camera employs the T exas
Instruments TC217 frame-transfer CCD image sensor, which features
551,124 active photosites and can generate a very-high-resolution image. The
MUL TICAM MC-1134P system’s three modes of operation are user selectable
through an external connector provided with the system. The system is also
capable of internal or external synchronization through the same auxiliary
connector.
The MC-1134P camera has a standard C-mount that allows use of a variety
of lenses. The MULTICAM MC-1134P system provides signals for auto-iris
control via an external connector; the mating cable for this connector is
included in the MULTICAM package. The camera can be secured with the
1/4 x 20 tripod mount provided or it can be clamped externally.
The MC-1 134P series includes options for connector location, automatic gain
control (AGC), and gamma correction (0.45/1.0). Other options can be made
available upon customer request. The standard model part numbers are
shown in the following table.

2.6 Handling Precautions
The MC-1134P camera unit should be handled in accordance with standard
precautions for electro-optic equipment. The camera should not be
mishandled by dropping or by exposure to excessive moisture. When not in
use, the camera unit should be stored in a dust- and moisture-free
environment and within the specified storage-temperature range.
The MC-1134P camera unit contains electrostatic-discharge-sensitive
components and should be handled accordingly. Specific guidelines for
handling assemblies of this type are contained in the publication
for Handling Electrostatic-Discharge-Sensitive (ESDS) Devices and
Assemblies
Guidelines
available from Texas Instruments.
