1 Introduction
1.1 Product Description
The JAI, Inc. TM-2016-8
*
is a high-resolution, high-speed monochrome progressive scan CCD camera.
The interline-transfer type CCD permits full vertical and horizontal resolution of very high speed
shutter images and applications. The electronic shutter, which has speeds to 1/8,000 sec., can be reset
asynchronously by external pulse control. The frame rate is 8 fps.
The TM-2016-8 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. The camera has an 8-bit, RS-644 digital signal
output for interfacing with external image-processing systems. All the key functions are externally
controlled via RS-232C. The TM-2016-8CL model has a Camera Link output.
Multi-camera operation requires synchronized data and clock phases from each camera. The TM-2016-
8 has a pixel clock locking phase lock loop (PLL) for multi-camera operation that is offered as an
option.
Applications for the TM-2016-8 include machine vision, medical imaging, intelligent transportation
systems, high-definition graphics, on-line inspection, gauging, character reading, archiving, and high-
security surveillance.
