AccuPiXEL Series
TM-1320A
TM-1320A-15 & TM-1320A-24
General Description
The TM-1320A series are miniature, high-resolution
monochrome progressive scan CCD cameras. The active image
resolution is 1300 x 1030 pixels out of 1392 x 1040 total pixels
using high sensitivity CCD and the available frame rate is 15 or
24 frames per second. The interline transfer CCD permits full
vertical and horizontal resolution of high-speed shuttered
images. The electronic shutter has speeds up to 1/16,000 sec.
and can be reset asynchronously by external pulse control.
The TM-1320A series has a patent-pending, PULNiX
exclusive, built-in look-up table (LUT). This full dynamic range
control function can be set at externally selectable knee slopes to
optimize the CCD's full dynamic range in the normal output
signal range. It also provides fast 10-bit to 8-bit pre-processing
for effective image feature enhancement. The cameras have both
analog and digital (RS-644) output for interfacing with frame
grabbers.
All camera-control functions are externally controlled via a
user-friendly RS-232C graphical interface provided by PULNiX.
Applications for the TM-1320A series include machine vision,
medical imaging, intelligent transportation systems, high-
definition graphics, gauging, character recognition, documents
archiving, and surveillance.

Electronic Shutter
Asynchronous Reset
The TM-1320A series has a substrate drain-type shutter
mechanism which provides a superb picture at various speeds
without smearing. A built-in manual shutter speed control selects
the electronic shutter rate of 1/60 (non-async mode only), 1/125,
1/250, 1/500, 1/1,000, 1/2,000, 1/4,000, 1/8,000, or 1/16,000
second.
The CCD discharges when discharge pulse is applied via
internal shutter control. With a negative pulse to VINIT, the
camera resets and purges the CCD charge momentarily. Then it
starts integrating for the period of preset shutter control time by
either an external pulse width or internal shutter control.
The TM-1320A series' asynchronous reset is flexible and
accepts external horizontal drive (HD) for phase locking. When
the VINIT pulse is applied, it resets the camera's scanning and
purging of the CCD. There are two modes to control the
asynchronous reset and shutter speed:
1 External VINIT with pulse width. The duration between pulse
edges controls the shutter speed externally.
2 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 related to shutter speed.
Progressive scanning permits a full 1030 lines of vertical
resolution, as compared to a conventional CCD camera which
captures only half the vertical lines per shutter.

FDV
The CCD imager of the TM-1320A series can be exposed for
longer than the normal scan timing of 1/15 sec. This integration
feature provides extra sensitivity for dark-environment
applications. The progressive-scan imager permits a full frame of
resolution in non-interlace format. Integration is achieved by
applying INTEG signal to pin #11 of the 12-pin connector or pin
#6 of the 31-pin connector, or by feeding VINIT pulse width
control up to 1 sec of the pulse width.
