Operation Manual
1 Introduction
1.1 Product Description
The TM-250 is an inexpensive, high-quality camera that meets a variety of application requirements.
Featuring an advanced Hyper-HAD
1
interline transfer 1/2" CCD imager, this miniaturized high-
resolution camera offers many standard and optional features at a very affordable price. A CCIR-format
model, the TM-260, is also available.
1.2 Features
•
Variable electronic shutter and random CCD integration
The substrate drain-type shutter mechanism provides a superb picture at various speeds without
smearing. The electronic shutter rate can be externally adjusted, from 1/60 to 1/10,000 (1/29,100 in
some operating modes) in discrete steps, via a manually controlled DIP switch on the back panel.
•
Miniaturized and lightweight
The use of a CCD image sensor in the video camera module and the development of special mini
C-mount lenses allow the TM-250 to be compact, lightweight, robust, and small enough to operate
just like a remoted head.
•
High sensitivity
The TM-250 camera is one of the most low-light sensitive 1/2" CCD cameras available today. This
feature is especially important when using the faster shutter speeds. The CCD detects images into
the near-infrared spectrum. It requires only 1.0 lux of minimum illumination and 0.5 lux minimum
illumination at maximum gain. In general, this allows the use of a higher lens F-value while
providing a greater field depth and sharper images.

Low lag/high resistance to image burning
