The TM-2030 series offers software-selectable operation that allows users to choose between dual tap mode or single tap mode.
JAI has introduced the TM-2030 series, a set of four new high-performance cameras featuring a wide aspect ratio and a full HDTV resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.
The TM-2030 series offers software-selectable operation that allows users to choose between dual tap mode at 32 frames per second (with automatic channel balancing), or single tap mode operating at 16 frames per second.
Using a 25.4mm Kodak progressive scan IT CCD sensor (KAI-2093), the TM-2030 series produces low-noise images with a typical signal-to-noise ratio of greater than 57dB.
The cameras output 12-bit linear images, or 10-bit/8-bit images that are modifiable by a user-defined look-up table (LUT), enabling users to optimise the camera's dynamic range for particular applications.
The four-camera series includes monochrome (TM-2030) or colour (TMC-2030) models, equipped with either a Camera Link digital interface, or with a GigE Vision standard Gigabit Ethernet serial interface.
Colour versions (TMC-2030GE and TMC-2030CL) produce raw Bayer CFA output for host-based interpolation.
The TM-2030 series cameras have multiple modes including continuous, synchronous, and asynchronous trigger modes that can be operated with pre-selected or no-delay pulse width controlled electronic shuttering.
The camera's user friendly GUI enables shutter speeds to be easily set by the user to any speed from 1/32 to 1/16,000 second, in increments of 27.5us.
Other features include a particle imaging velocimetry (PIV) mode able to capture pairs of images a few microseconds apart for advanced studies of movement in fluids or gases, and a defective pixel compensation feature that uses neighboring pixels to adjust for bad ones.
With its wide field-of-view, the TM-2030 series is targeted at applications where a wide format is advantageous.
Examples include military surveillance applications (aerial or ground), traffic or cargo inspection applications (multiple lanes covered by a single camera), and machine vision inspection of objects that are long and narrow in shape.
