The TM-1300 is a very high resolution (1300 x 1030 active pixels, 5:4 aspect ratio) monochrome CCD camera which uses a progressive scan interline transfer CCD with a single channel output to achieve outstanding shutter and integration characteristics. It is specifically designed for low noise and high resolution image capturing with externally controlled gain and dynamic range adjustments which extract the best imaging performance from the CCD. The electronic shutter, which has speeds selectable to 1/39,000 sec., may be asynchronously reset by external pulse control.

The TM-1300 has its own 8-bit built-in frame store which can capture and output full-frame images in real time. At 10-bits, the RS-422 digital signal output is provided for interfacing with external image processing systems. The SVGA display output provides a great convenience for video monitoring with a standard computer monitor. Special interface cables are available for connecting the TM-1300 directly to digital frame grabbers such as the MV-1500. All functions are remotely controllable via RS-232C communication.

Applications for the TM-1300 include medical imaging, high definition graphics, on-line inspection, gauging, character reading, archiving, intelligent transportation systems, and long range image acquisition.
