Hardware Introduction
6.1 Product Description
The JAI PULNiX TM-4100GE series
1
is a Gigabit Ethernet output, high-resolution progressive scan
CCD camera. The interline-type CCD permits full vertical and horizontal resolution of very high speed
shutter images and applications. The electronic shutter, which has speeds to 1/16,000 sec., can be reset
asynchronously by external pulse control. The frame rate for a full image is 15 fps. A square imager
format with uniform square pixels provides superior image definition in any orientation. On-chip micro
lenses provide increased sensitivity.
The TM-4100GE
2
has a full dynamic range control function, which can be set at externally selectable
look-up 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. As a Gigabit Ethernet output camera, the TM-
4100GE has semi-auto-gain balancing functions.
Applications for the TM-4100GE include machine vision, medical imaging, intelligent transportation
systems, high-definition graphics, on-line inspection, gauging, character reading, archiving, and high-
security surveillance.
1. Unless otherwise stated, all information in this manual applies to both cameras in the TM-4100GE
series, the TM-4100GE and the TMC-4100GE.
2. The TM-4100GE is available with either 8-bit processing or 10-bit processing. You must specify
your choice of configurations when you purchase the camera.
