Progressive Scanning CCD Camera
Operation Manual
1
Introduction
1.1 Product Description
*
The TM-6710 is a high-resolution monochrome CCD camera with “quad speed” 120FPS dual-tap,
dual-channel digital output.
1.2 Features
•
Three scanning modes
- Non-interlace quad speed scanning (484 active lines at 120Hz or 60Hz (selectable))
- 200 lines partial scanning (at 236Hz)
- 100 lines partial scanning (at 300Hz)
•
•
Full frame electronic shutter
The substrate drain electronic shutter captures images at various speeds without any smearing. The
electronic shutter works in all there scanning modes except slow speed at partial scanning.
1/2" progressive scan interline transfer CCD
Advantages include:
- High resolution (648 H x 484 V) active pixels for very high speed and image quality.
- Square pixels (9.0 x 9.0 µm). Precise dimensional measurement ability.
- High speed electronic shutter capability offering high dynamic resolution of moving
objects, as well as electronic iris control. This eliminates the need for a mechanical shutter.

Introduction
- Progressive scan, which eliminates interlace deterioration of the image while offering an
easy-to-use computer interface.
- High sensitivity and low noise at fast scanning. Can drive faster than 25 MHz pixel clock
rate. Excellent S/N ratio (>45 dB, 8-bit typical). Built-in micro lens.
- Partial scan capability, which allows 100 and 200 lines of partial scan up to 300Hz scan-
ning.
•
•
Asynchronous reset
The TM-6710 captures an image using asynchronous reset. This feature is especially important for
applications requiring the capture of images of moving objects at the precise location in the field of
view, such as a belt conveyer, fast event observation and still picture capture.
An asynchronously resettable frame grabber is required to capture the async reset images.
Digital output
The TM-6710 has a pair of 8-bit A/D converters, and a line buffer that generates 16-bit, 25MHz
dual channel digital output. The digital output is standard RS-644 format with LDV, FDV and clock
output for standard frame grabbers or Camera Link. The Camera Link model is called the TM-
6710CL.
•
•
•
•
RS-232C (or RS-485) control
External computer control allows the operator to remotely adjust the following functions: clock
speed, shutter, gain, A/D reference and scan format. Camera Link controls the same functions via a
Camera Link serial communication.
VGA display output
Because progressive scan cameras are not in TV format, the display of the video signal can only be
achieved by using a frame grabber and computer. The VGA output of the TM-6710 scans the FIFO
memory read out at 120Hz at 50.98 MHz pixel clock (or 60 Hz) non-interlace (multiplexed output).
Miniaturized, lightweight and rugged
All PULNiX cameras are built with the same design principles: Solid state technology;
miniaturization; application-specific features such as custom design, remote imagers, special
functions for various application needs; and design robust enough even for military applications.
Warranty
Please contact your factory representative for details about the warranty.
1.3 Applications
Designed for speed and functional versatility, the TM-6710 is ideal for applications such as high speed
image capturing, machine vision, computer graphics, gauging, avionics, microscopy, character and fine
pattern recognition, document reading and high-end surveillance.

2.2.2 Power Supply and Power Cable Setup
PULNiX recommends the following power supply:
PD-12UUP
110V AC/12V DC
1.2A power supply
If you are providing power through the 12-pin connector, the PD-12UUP power supply is available with
the 12-pin mating connector already attached to the leads from the power supply. The PD-12UU power
supply can be connected directly to the PULNiX power cable or via a terminal strip. If you choose
direct wiring, note the following:
•
•
•
•
The lead ends must be twisted together and tin-soldered for strength and electrical continuity.
Use shrink tubing or a similar insulator to prevent exposed leads from touching.
The +12V lead is marked with a red stripe or white lettering; be sure not to reverse the leads.
All connections must be properly insulated to prevent shorting.
If using PULNiX power cables, such as the 12P-02S, etc., please refer to the pin-out diagram. The
color-coded leads use Gray for Ground and Yellow for +12V DC.

Remember that power must be DC regulated, and of sufficient current to properly power the camera.
Attach the power cable to the connector. The 12-pin connector is keyed and will only fit in one
orientation. Rotate the connector while applying slight pressure until the keyways line up. Press the
connector into place until it is firmly seated.
You may now plug the power cord into the 110V AC socket and power up the camera.

2.2.4 Attaching the Video Output (Analog Output on TM-6710 Only)
Connect a BNC cable to the output from the camera and the input to your system (frame grabber analog
input). The input of the system or monitor should be balanced for 75ohms termination.
Standard RG-59 type coaxial cable should carry a full video signal for up to 100 feet.
If you want to output the video, input the power, and sync to a camera over a single cable, you can use a
PULNiX multi-conductor cable, such as the 12P-02S. 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-6710 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-6710 camera, follow the steps below:
1. Attach a C-mount lens in the lens mount. Be sure that the lens is properly mounted.
2. 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-lighted image).
3. Obtain the best focus possible at this setting, then loosen two of the three miniature hex head set
screws locking the focus ring in place.
4. Now turn the entire lens and focus ring assembly back and forth until the best image is obtained.
5. Tighten the focus ring set screws. Your backfocus is now set.

3.1 Dual-Tap Video Output
The TM-6710CL uses a dual-tap output for its fast frame readout. At the same horizontal clock cycle,
line 1 and all odd lines go to channel A, and line 2 and all even lines go to channel B. Vertical shift
registers move twice per horizontal blanking period. Lines are grouped in twos, so that 1 and 2, and 3
and 4, and so on, are output from channel A and B simultaneously.

3.3 Modes of Operation
3.3.1 Shutter Operation
The TM-6710 has a substrate drain electronic shutter mechanism which provides a superb picture at
various speeds without smearing. Manual shutter speed control can be selected at 1/250, 1/500, 1/1,000,
1/2,000, 1/4,000, 1/8,000, 1/16,000 or 1/32,000 sec. rate.
Note: Some slow speed shutter rates will not apply to partial scanning.

3.3.2 External Synchronization
The TM-6710 can take external HD and VD for
phase locking. The internal PLL will take external
HD and lock with the CCD HD. (The CCD HD
frequency is half of the analog video output HD.)

External Sync Input Schematic
The internal sync generator will take external VD to
generate internal VD. External VD frequency should be the same as the frame rate.
3.3.3 Asynchronous Reset with Shutter
To activate the asynchronous reset mode, use the Mode control switch on the back panel of the camera
(TM-6710). The asynchronous trigger input (VINIT) is applied to pin #6 of the 12-pin connector (TM-
6710) or pins #9 and #22 of the Camera Link connector (TM-6710CL).
The TM-6710’s asynchronous reset is flexible and takes external HD for phase
locking. Applying a VINIT pulse resets the camera’s scanning and purging of

the CCD. When async reset pulse (VINIT) is applied to High state (+5V) with
dial switch select from 1 to 9, the TM-6710’s asynchronous camera discharges
the photo charges into the substrate drain although the camera is still running on
its sync timing and only outputs captured video. When the negative going reset
pulse is applied, the camera will latch the falling edge to its next horizontal
drive and reset vertical sync timing immediately. Then it starts integrating for

The TM-6710 can be reset with external reset pulse
(VINIT). Set the dial switch to “9.” Apply a pulse-
width control VINIT signal generated from an external
event trigger to the camera. The internal reset pulse
will be latched to Hd and at 5th HD timing from the
external pulse leading edge (negative going edge). The
CCD discharge pulse will be generated to clear the
images. The internal VINIT will be generated at the
following edge (positive going edge) of the external

This feature is especially important in capturing moving objects at the precise location of the field of
view, such as belt conveyer, fast event observation and still picture capturing.
3.3.3 (b) Internal Fast Reset Mode
The video signal has no delay from the reset timing. Shutter speed range is 1/8,000 to 1/31,000 sec.
Select a dial switch setting from “1” to “4.” When the fast reset mode is selected, the camera resets with
internal VINIT timing, which is latched to HD, and video output is also synchronized with internal
VINIT timing without further delay. The shutter speed is controlled by the dial switch.

3.3.3 (c) Internal Slow Reset Mode
The speed control ranges from 1/120 to 1/4,000 sec. With the internal slow reset mode selected, the
camera operates the reset and shutter in the same way as the external pulse width control mode. When
the external VINIT pulse is applied, internal VINIT is latched to HD and the second internal VINIT
signal is delayed to set up the shutter speed period. The shutter speed is controlled by the dial switch
from “5” to “8.” Video output timing starts right after the internal VINIT. For the timing of the delayed
internal reset, LPULSE output of the 51-pin connector can be used.

3.3.5 Integration
Integration is activated by keeping INTEG control as active low. Integ is #11 of the 12-pin connector for
the TM-6710, (TTL) and #10 and 23 of the Camera Link connector for the TM-6710CL (LVDS).
During low, the TM-6710 series keeps integrating and, upon the rising edge of the INTEG control pulse,
outputs the frame. During integration, the signal processing keeps optical black levels as the reference
black video to clamp video levels. This has the result of cancelling out thermal noise during the
integration period.

Operation
3.3.6 Progressive Scanning
The TM-6710 uses a state-of-the-art CCD called a “Progressive scanning interline transfer CCD” which
scans all lines sequentially from top to bottom at one frame rate 120 Hz or (60 Hz) with dual channel
output. Like a non-interlace computer screen, it generates a stable crisp image without alternating lines
and provides full vertical TV resolution of 484 active lines. The interline transfer architecture is also
important to generate simultaneous shuttering. This is different from full frame transfer architecture
which requires a mechanical shutter or strobe light in order to freeze the object motion.
The TM-6710 outputs the progressive scanned image with an electronic shutter in two different
formats:
1. Progressive scanning quad speed output (normal mode)
Straightforward signal output equivalent to non-interlace VGA format (120 Hz). This is real-time
CCD output through Camera Link, digital RS-644 output, and normal analog video processing into
75ohms 1Vp-p output format.
2. Partial scanning output (Rear switch.... 100 lines,.... 200 lines) TM-6710 only
By setting the switch to 100 line partial scan, the TM-6710 outputs 100 lines of video. It repeats the
same rate with the fast dump blanking. The asynchronous reset and electronic shutter functions are
maintained at each partial scan. When 200 line partial scan is selected, 200 lines of video are output.
The partial scan maintains the same resolution as full progressive scan, although with a narrower field
of view. It also maintains the same image center between partial scan and normal images.
3.3.7 RS-232C (or Optional RS-485) Control and Camera Link Serial
Communication
The TM-6710’s built-in microcomputer chip (CPU) can be controlled by an external RS-232C
interface. The internal CPU controls TM-6710 operation mode and DSP parameter changes. Contact
PULNiX for the TM-6710 software diskette. Camera Link control is implemented via Camera Link
serial communication. We recommend that you use PULNiX control software (.dll), part number 69-
0062.

Operation
3.3.7 (b) RS-232C Control Commands
External RS-232C (or optional RS-485) computer control allows the operator to remotely adjust the
following functions: clock speed, shutter, gain, A/D reference and scan format. The control commands
are detailed below.
Note: RS-232 control will override the rear panel switch control. (TM-6710 only)
The TM-6710 command package begins with “.” (Start of Text = 3AH), and is then followed by the
Command Code (C.C...one alphabet), Command option parameter and CR (End of Text = 0DH) to end.
When a packet is received by the TM-6710 (ETX:03H is detected), it reads the internal packet of the
receiver buffer. If it is the correct packet, then it processes the parameters based on the command. When
the process is completed, it sends a completion signal (AK packet). If an error is detected, a No-go
signal (NK packet) is sent back and it disregards the packet signal in the buffer. When an NK packet is
sent from the TM-6710, the host must correct the error and resend the packet.
Example: Executing manual shutter control #2.
The C.C. packet is sent as follows:
“:”, “S”, “M”, “2”, CR
3AH, 53H, 4DH, 32H, 0DH
where “S”.....Shutter control command mode
“M”.....Manual mode
The TM-6710 will send back
“:”,ACK,CR
or
“:”,NAK,CR
3AH, 06H, 0DH

This selects a mode for external shutter speed control. Hexadecimal shutter number (3 digit) follows
“SX” command (e.g., “080” = 128H, shutter speed = 4.1msec). It moves the shutter discharge pulse
at every 1H (32 µsec.) period from 254 (no shutter) to 1H (max. speed).
Command G
Function: A/D pre-amp gain control.
The “GM” command controls the gains of the A channel and the B channel. The “GA” and “GB”
commands fine tune the gain of the A and B channels respectively, to achieve balance. The ratio is
about 5:1.
