GigE Camera delivers 2 megapixel resolution at 34 fps.
Press Release Summary:
Utilizing 1 in. Kodak progressive scan IT CCD sensor, Model TM-2040GE produces 12-bit linear images or 10-bit/8-bit images that are modifiable by user-defined look-up table for difficult lighting conditions. Software-selectable operation allows users to choose between dual tap mode at 34 fps with automatic channel balancing, or single tap mode operating at 17 fps. Monochrome and Bayer CFA color models are equipped with standard GigE Vision Gigabit Ethernet digital interfaces.

New GigE Camera Delivers 2 Megapixel Resolution at 34 fps
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA, May 3, 2007 - JAI continues to expand its offering of high resolution, high performance Gigabit Ethernet cameras with the release today of the TM-2040GE. The TM-2040GE offers two-megapixel UXGA resolution (1600 x 1200 pixels) and software-selectable operation that allows users to choose between dual tap mode at 34 frames per second (with automatic channel balancing), or single tap mode operating at 17 frames per second. Utilizing a 1" Kodak progressive scan IT CCD sensor (KAI-2020), the TM-2040GE produces 12-bit linear images, or 10-bit/8-bit images that are modifiable by a user-defined look-up table (LUT) for use in difficult lighting situations.
The TM-2040GE camera features JAI's high fidelity front-end circuitry and low noise power supply design to produce exceptional sensitivity and a typical signal-to-noise ratio of greater than 58 dB. Monochrome and Bayer CFA color models are equipped with standard GigE Vision Gigabit Ethernet digital interfaces providing ease of use, cabling flexibility, and reduced system costs.
All TM-2040GE cameras include image center partial scanning (600, 300, or 150 lines), as well as variable partial scanning where the user can choose both the starting point and the specific number of lines to be scanned. Monochrome models include a 2X binning mode, selectable in the horizontal direction, vertical direction, or both. Full frame shuttering up to 1/32,000 second, and asynchronous reset, no-delay pulse width control shuttering are also included.
Other high performance features include a PIV mode enabling the capture of pairs of images separated by only a few microseconds, and a defective pixel compensation feature that uses neighboring pixels to adjust for bad ones.
Uses for the TM-2040GE cameras span a wide range of machine vision, medical, and intelligent transportation system applications, where high speed and high resolution are required. The TM-2040GE cameras are available now. Volume pricing is available upon request.
