Scan Shutter Cameras
Operation Manual
1 Introduction
1.1 Product Description
The PULNiX TM-4000CL series
1
consists of dual-tap output, high-resolution, high-speed monochrome
progressive scan CCD cameras.

The interline-type CCD permits full vertical and horizontal resolution
of very high speed shutter images and applications. The electronic shutter, which has speeds to 1/16,000
sec., can be reset asynchronously by external pulse control. The frame rate is 15 fps. A square imager
format with uniform square pixels provides superior image definition in any orientation. On-chip micro
lenses provide increased sensitivity.
The TM-4000CL has a full dynamic range control function, which can be set at externally selectable
look-up table (LUT)
3
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. As dual-tap outputs camera, the TM-4000CL has
dual-channel auto-block level balancing and auto-gain balancing functions. The camera has a dual-tap,
10-bit or 8-bit Camera Link output. All the key functions are controlled via Camera Link serial
communication interface.
Multi-camera operation requires synchronized data and clock phases from each camera. The TM-
4000CL has a pixel clock locking phase lock loop (PLL) for multi-camera operation that is offered as
standard.
1. The TM-4000CL is available with either 8-bit processing or 10-bit processing. You must specify
your choice of configurations when you purchase the camera.
2. The TM-4000CL series consists of the TM-4000CL (monochrome) and the TMC-4000CL (color).
Unless otherwise noted, all information contained in this manual is relevant to both models.
3. The TM-4000CL 8-bit output camera has an LUT, which the 10-bit camera does not have.
