Page 14 TM-6703 Progressive Scan Double Speed Shutter Camera
3.1.4 Progressive Scanning
The TM-6703 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 (60 Hz). Like a non-interlace computer
screen, it generates a stable crisp image without alternating lines and provides full vertical TV
resolution of 484 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-6703 outputs the progressive scanned image with an electronic shutter in three different modes.
These modes are selected via the switches on the rear panel of the camera.
1. Progressive scanning double speed output (Normal mode. Select N, O)
On the rear panel of the camera, select NRM (normal mode), N and O. This produces straight
forward signal output equivalent to non-interlace VGA format (60Hz). Real-time double speed
CCD output is converted through normal analog video processing into 75Ω 1Vp-p output format.
2. Progressive scanning 120Hz output (Rear switches: N, T)
This mode provides 120Hz scanning of the full field of view, but with only 242 lines of vertical
resolution. The CCD signals of each row combine to scan 242 lines; the frame speed therefore is
120Hz of non-interlace video. The async reset, electronic shutter and integration function work as
normal. The analog output is the same as 75Ω, 1Vp-p format at the 120Hz rate.
3. Partial scanning output (Rear switches: P, T for 100 lines; P, O for 200 lines)
By selecting 100 line partial scan (P, T), the TM-6703 outputs the central 100 lines of video. It
repeats the same lines at a rate of 200 frames/sec. with the fast dump blanking of unused lines. The
asynchronous reset and electronic shutter functions are maintained at each partial scan.
By selecting 200 line partial scan (P, O), the TM-6703 outputs the central 200 lines of video at a
rate of 125 frames/sec. The partial scan keeps the same resolution as full progressive scan, but with
a narrower field of view.
