The TMC-2030CL is a compact, high-resolution (2 Megapixels) monochrome progressive scan CCD camera with a wide-screen field of view (FOV) of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The camera features a dual-tap front-end, automatic channel balancing, Camera Link digital output, and a frame rate of 32 fps at full resolution. A single-tap mode at 17 fps is user selectable. The TMC-2030CL features the Kodak KAI-2093 1" CCD imager with a Bayer color filter array for host-based color interpolation.

The TMC-2030CL delivers an outstanding signal-to-noise ratio of >57 dB in typical operation. A high performance front-end provides 12-bit linear output, or can be set to generate 10-bit/8-bit images modifiable by a patent-pending, built-in look-up table (LUT). The camera has a flexible programmable shutter capable of speeds from 1/32 to 1/16,000 second in one-line increments of 27.5 µs. Other advanced features include defective pixel compensation, and a PIV mode.

Camera parameters can be uploaded from the PC to the camera. Once these parameters are stored in EEPROMs, an instantaneous change from one setting to another can be done with a delay of a few frames in between.

Some of the functions that can be controlled by this interface are: manual, async and pulse-width control shuttering; save, load and report settings; and channel auto balancing.
