RM/TM-4200CL Series
2 Hardware Introduction
• Electronic shutter
The RM-4200CL has a substrate drain-type shutter mechanism which provides superb pictures at various speeds
without smearing. For more information, see Section 6.4, “Electronic Shutter,” on page 39.
•
Asynchronous reset
The RM-4200CL captures async reset images and provides single-shot video output with single FDV (frame data
valid). This makes it simpler for an ordinary frame grabber to capture the async reset images. The RM-4200CL’s
asynchronous reset is flexible and accepts external horizontal drive (HD) for phase locking. When the VINIT (5V)
pulse is applied to CC1, it resets the camera's scanning and purging of the CCD.
The RM-4200CL has 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 speed control - the speed control varies from 1/125 to 1/16,000 sec. The video
signal and FDV starts with internal V reset timing originally set to respond to shutter speed,
although this can be changed to sensor or other input.
• Output
The RM-4200CL has dual-tap/single-tap 12-bit, 10-bit or 8-bit Camera Link output. The analog output is 714 mV
p-p composite video (75 ohms) on all models.
•
Dual-Channel Auto Black Level Balancing and Gain Balancing
The RM-4200CL, as a dual-tap output camera, has dual-channel auto black level balancing and auto gain
balancing functions.
