TM-1300 Progressive Scanning High Resolution Camera
•
Frame memory and digital output
The TM-1300 has a built-in frame grabber and a frame memory. There are two modes of digital
output available:
Direct output mode:
10-bit output without going through an internal frame buffer (direct from the
A/D converter via RS-422).
Memory mode:
8-bit output with the internal frame buffer, to capture the asynchronous image
inside of the camera. The 10-bit A/D converter provides 1024 gray levels with maximized signal-to-
noise ratio. The output can be real time digital output or captured image (frozen picture).
•
Pixel clock rate
The standard pixel clock frequency is 20 MHz.
•
Integration
The TM-1300 is capable of capturing high resolution integration images. Integration can last from
1/12 sec. to a few seconds.
•
Analog output (SVGA, BNC)
Since the TM-1300 is non-TV format, a frame grabber and computer, special monitor or SVGA
monitor must be used to display the video output.
The TM-1300 outputs analog signals from the SVGA and BNC connectors. The analog signal is
processed in the camera for scan conversion in order to output high frame rate video (SVGA). The
analog outputs are not recommended to be used for signal processing. While the digital is 10-bit
non-interlace, the analog is 8-bit or 8-bit x 3 (SVGA) non-interlace output.
•
A/D reference voltage and dynamic range control
The 10-bit A/D converter’s reference voltage can be controlled by back panel switches or RS-232C.
The high reference and low reference variation provides A/D or signal processing dynamic range to
maximize CCD characteristics.
•
Remote RS-232C control
The back panel mode switch functions, gain control, shutter speed, A/D reference functions and the
data preset are all controllable via RS-232C communication.

1.4 Applications
The versatile TM-1300 meets the needs of a broad range of applications, including high resolution
image capturing, machine vision, computer graphics, gauging, avionics, microscopy, medical imaging,
character and fine pattern recognition, document reading and high end surveillance.
