1 Introduction
1.1 Product Description and Applications
The TMC-6700/1000 series*cameras are digital process and output color video cameras which use a
1"(TMC-1000) and 1/2"(TMC-6700) high-resolution progressive scan interline transfer CCD. This
camera series is specially designed to capture images in progressive scan (non-interlace) format,
producing a full frame of electronic shutter image as well as normal images.
The TMC-6700/1000 series cameras are excellent in applications such as dynamic motion capturing,
still-picture storage, on-line inspection, gauging, printing, high-definition graphics and high-resolution
surveillance where high-quality color images are required.
1.2 Features
•RGB primary color 1" (TMC-1000/CL) 1/2" (TMC-6700/CL) progressive scanning interline
transfer CCD imager
The TMC-1000/6700 series has a color filter array (CFA) called a “Bayer CFA.” It comprises a
ratio of two green pixels for every one red or blue pixel. This staggered structure results in color
that is perceptually true to the human eye. The primary color Bayer CFA progressive scan interline
transfer CCD combines excellent resolution (1008 H x 1018 V) and color fidelity with superb
electronic shutter capability.
•Full digital processing using real-time DSPs
PULNiX’s state-of-the-art DSP technology offers increased speed, greater efficiency and
specialization of function.
•RS-232C external control
*. Unless specified, all references to the TMC-1000 and TMC-6700 are relevant to the CL versions of
those cameras as well.

Introduction
TMC-6700/1000 Series Progressive Scan CCD Digital Color Camera
The built-in Digital Signal Processor (DSP) is controlled via RS-232C communication for remotely
adjusting color matrix, white balance, gain, edge enhancement, and other functions.
•Progressive Scanning
The TMC-6700/1000 series uses a state-of-the-art progressive scanning interline transfer CCD,
which scans all lines sequentially from top to bottom at one frame rate (15Hz in TMC-1000, 60Hz
in TMC-6700). In comparison, conventional “TV-format” scanning captures every other horizontal
line (ODD and EVEN lines) at a 60Hz rate per field, completing the scanning with two fields (one
frame) at a 30Hz rate. Like a non-interlace computer screen, progressive scanning generates a crisp,
stable image without alternating lines and provides full vertical resolution. The interline transfer
architecture is essential in generating simultaneous shuttering, as compared with full-frame
architecture which requires mechanical shuttering or a strobe light to freeze the object motion.
•Progressive scan output in 24-bit LVDS Channel Link™*Digital and RGB analog format
(TMC-1000 nd TMC-6700 base models only)
The digital output is 24-bit LVDS Channel Link output. Channel Link is a transmitter/receiver
chipset pair developed by National Semiconductor for high-speed data transmission. Originally
designed for flat-panel display technologies, Channel Link lends itself to digital video transmission
and has been adopted by PULNiX in their latest cameras. Visit PULNiX’s website at
www.pulnix.com for information on Channel Link-compatible frame grabbers.
Channel Link offers two main advantages:
- Smaller cables
A Channel Link transmitter converts 28 bits of data into four LVDS parallel data streams.
A transmit clock is transmitted with the data over a fifth line. So during every clock
cycle, 28 bits of data are transmitted over only 5 LVDS lines.
As an example, for a 24-bit RGB camera, at least 27 pairs of wires (data and timing) are
needed to transfer the data. The required cable, with 54 wires, would be bulky, heavy, and
expensive.
Using Channel Link technology, the same data can be transferred using only 11 conduc-
tors (4 data pairs, one clock pair, and a minimum of 1 ground). This provides an 80%
reduction in cable width, reducing the connector size and cost, as well as requirements
for shielding.
- Higher data rates
A Channel Link transmitter can send data rates up to 2.38GB/sec, (depending on the
transmitter) more than satisfying what is available with today’s camera technology and
offering compatibility with the solutions of the future.
•Camera Link Digital Output
Camera Link is a camera-to-frame grabber interface specification based on an implementation of
Channel Link technology. The Camera Link standard includes data transmission, hardware (cable
connectors), camera control, and asynchronous serial communications, all on a single cable.
•*Built-in YCrCb 4:4:4 and 4:2:2 converter
The TMC-6700/1000 series cameras can output three different digital video outputs: 24-bit RGB,
24-bit 4:4:4 YCrCb, and 16-bit 4:2:2 YCrCb.
•Full-frame electronic shutter, 1/15 sec. to 1/16,000 sec.
The substrate drain-type shutter mechanism provides a clear, crisp image without smearing.
Progressive scanning permits a full frame of image resolution (1008 lines TMC-1000; 484 lines
*. Channel Link is a trademark of National Semiconductor.

TMC-6700) per shutter or integration. The user can assign any shutter speed to any of the preset
shutter positions.
•Asynchronous reset and shutter
The TMC-6700/1000 series cameras asynchronous reset operates with internal sync or external HD
for phase locking. There are three modes to control the asynchronous reset and shutter speed.
•Integration
The CCD imager of the TMC-6700/1000 series can be exposed for longer than one frame duration
(1/15 sec. TMC-1000; 1/60 sec. TMC-6700). This feature provides sensitivity for low-light
application environments.
•External Sync Control
The TMC-6700/1000 series cameras accept HD and VD inputs from an external sync generator.
•Anti-smear filter
Like all PULNiX color cameras, the TMC-6700/1000 series cameras contain a filter to minimize
smear that can result when shooting a very bright object. Smear should only occur under extremely
bright and pointed light source conditions.
•Three-Year Warranty
The CCD solid-state image sensor allows the camera to maintain a superior performance level
indefinitely while requiring virtually no maintenance. PULNiX backs all of the TMC Series
cameras with a three-year warranty.
Warning: Unscrewing the camera cover or opening the camera in any
way without prior written permission will void this warranty.

2.2.2 Power Supply and Power Cable Setup
2.2.2 (a) Power Supplies
The TMC-6700/1000 series requires 12V DC. Power is obtained through the 12-pin connector located
at the rear of the camera. PULNiX recommends the following power supplies:
K25-12 110V AC/12V DC 2.1A power supply
K50-12 110V AC/12V DC 4.2A power supply
PD-12UU 110V AC/12V DC 0.5A power supply
PD-12UUP 12-pin connector US plug
PD-12UE 110V AC/12V DC 0.5A European power supply
PD-12UEP 12-pin connector European plug
For users providing power through the 12-pin connector, the PD-12P, PD-12UUP, and PD-12UEP
power supplies are available with the 12-pin mating connector already attached to the leads from the
power supply. The PD-12 power supply can be connected to the PULNiX power cable via a terminal
strip or directly.
When wiring the PD-12 power supply directly, please note the following:
•The lead ends must be twisted together and tin-soldered for strength and electrical continuity.
•Shrink tubing or a similar insulator should be used to prevent exposed leads from touching and
shorting.
•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.

2.2.2 (b) PULNiX Power Cables
If you are using PULNiX power cables, such as the 12P-02S, please refer to the12-pin connector pin-out
diagram in Section 2.2.1 on page 7. The cable pin-out diagram is shown below in Figure 3. The color-
coded leads use Gray for Ground and Yellow for +12V DC.
WARNING: When applying power to the camera, using one of the 12-P
series cables, make sure that none of the exposed leads on the
multiple conductor cables are touching, as this may cause dam-
age to the camera.
FIGURE 3. 12P-02S Interface Cable (optional)
Note: Make sure that the unused leads are not touching and that there is no possibility that the
leads could short due to exposed wires.
2.2.2 (c) Building Your Own Power Cable
Please refer to the 12-pin connector (PC-12P) pin-out in Section 2.2.1 on page 7. Connect the Ground
lead to Pin #1, and the +12V DC (0.5A) lead to Pin #2 of the 12-pin connector.
2.2.2 (d) Attaching the Power Cable to the Connector
The 12-pin connector is keyed and will fit in only one orientation. Follow these directions to properly
attach the power cable to the camera connector:
1. Rotate the connector while applying slight pressure until the keyway lines up.
2. Press the connector into place until it is firmly seated.
3. Plug the power cord into the 110V AC socket. This will power up the camera.

FIGURE 4. CBL-RS232-9 Cable
The RS-232 controller set CS-232C includes CBL-RS232-9 interface cable, software diskette, and a
quick-start card. The TMC-6700/1000 series camera’s built-in DSP chip can be controlled by an
external RS-232C interface. The camera settings can be programmed or changed using the
communication cable and software. Please refer to the software manual for details on the graphical user
interface.
2.2.4 Digital Output Cables
The selection of an appropriate digital output cable depends on whether you are using a Channel Link
frame grabber or a non-Channel Link frame grabber. PULNiX offers two digital output cables. The
Channel Link/TTL Adapter cable (15CL-02) provides 24 bit TTL output for use with a non-Channel
Link frame grabber. The Direct Channel Link cable (15CL-02-15) should be used with a Channel Link
frame grabber. Please check PULNiX’s website (www.pulnix.com) for a list of compatible Channel
Link frame grabbers.
2.2.4 (a) Direct Channel Link Cable
FIGURE 5. Direct Channel Link Cable (15CL-02-15) (base only)
This cable is for use with Channel Link frame grabbers. It has a 15-pin Airborne connector on the
camera end and a 15-pin high-density, D-sub connector on the frame-grabber end.
Not all Channel Link frame grabbers have a 15-pin input connector, in which case a custom adapter
cable will be needed. The pin assignment for the digital connector is show in Section 2.2.1 (b on page 7.
Contact your PULNiX representative if you need assistance.
