TM-1405GE Hardware
Operation Manual
1Hardware Introduction
1.1 Product Description
The JAI TM-1405GE is a high-speed progressive scan CCD camera. 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 1/21,000 second, can be reset asynchronously by external pulse control.
The frame rate for a full image is 30 fps, with partial scan modes of up to 1 line. A 2:1 ratio imager
format with uniform square pixels provides superior image definition in any orientation.
The TM-1405GE 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. 10-bit linear output is also selectable.
Applications for the TM-1405GE include machine vision, medical imaging, intelligent transportation
systems, high-definition graphics, on-line inspection, gauging, character reading, archiving, and high
security surveillance.
The TM-1405GE series consists of the RM/TM-1405GE (monochrome) and the RMC/TMC-1405GE
(color). Unless otherwise noted, all information contained in this manual is relevant to both models.
1.2 Features
The TM-1405GE has the following features:
•Miniature size and light weight
The printed circuit boards in the TM-1405GE have been arranged to create modular electronics,
giving the camera flexibility. In addition, the use of miniature solid-state components results in
a compact, lightweight camera that is 50.8mm x 50.8mm x 83.5mm in dimensions, and weighs
only 140 grams.
•Imager
The TM-1405GE uses a progressive scan interline transfer CCD that has the following features:
−Resolution of 1392 x 1040 active pixels for excellent image quality.
−4.65 x 4.65 µm square pixels for precise dimensional measurement.
−High-speed electronic shutter capability for high dynamic resolution of moving objects
that eliminates the need for a mechanical shutter.
−Progressive scan CCD eliminates interlace deterioration of image and increases ease of
computer interface.
−High sensitivity and low noise at fast scanning. The CCD has an excellent S/N ratio at the
default setting greater than 51dB.
•Electronic shutter
The TM-1405GE has a substrate drain-type shutter mechanism which provides superb pictures at
various speeds without smearing.

RM/TM-1405GE Series
10 Hardware Introduction
•Asynchronous reset
The TM-1405GE captures asynchronous reset images and provides single-shot video output with
single FDV. This makes it simpler for an ordinary frame grabber to capture the asynchronous
reset images. The TM-1405GE’s asynchronous reset is flexible and accepts external horizontal
drive (HD) for phase locking. When the VINIT (5V) pulse is applied to pin 6 on the Hirose, or the
PLC 12-pin connector, it resets the camera's scanning and purging of the CCD.
The TM-1405GE has three modes to control the asynchronous reset and shutter speed:
−Async, no shutter. The video signal and FDV are reset by external VINIT.
−Async Programmable shutter. The shutter speed depends on the number of horizontal
lines controlled by the user.
−External VINIT with pulse width. The duration between pulse edges controls the shutter
speed externally.
•Output
The TM-1405GE has a 10-bit/8-bit Gigabit Ethernet output. The analog output is 714 mV p-p
composite video (75 ohms) on all models.
•Warranty
