JAI / Pulnix TM-7EX Miniature CCD Camera

The JAI/Pulnix TM-7EX is a compact 1/2-inch interline transfer CCD camera designed for space-constrained imaging applications. The 768 × 494 pixel sensor delivers 570 × 350 TV resolution with a 50 dB S/N ratio (AGC off) and operates down to 0.5 lux under maximum gain. Variable electronic shuttering spans 1/60 to 1/10,000 sec., controlled externally via BCD switch and SC-745 Shutter Controller. The camera supports external synchronization, asynchronous reset, and field/frame selection via rear panel controls.
