INSTALLATION
TM-1300 Progressive Scanning High Resolution Camera
Page 9
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
To 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 10-
bit output applications, use the digital output connector.
