The TM-4200GE is a compact, UV-sensitive, Gigabit Ethernet colour CCD camera with 4.2 Megapixel resolution offering outstanding performance for industrial applications. The RM model is identical but also complies to the ROHS hazardous substances standards. With a dual-tap front-end, the TM-4200GE provides 15 frames per second at full resolution and higher frame rates with Binning and Area Of Interest (AOI). It also features a user selectable single-tap mode at 8 fps.

The GigE Vision interface standard ensures high bandwidth (1000 Mbps), uncompromised data transfer up to 100 meter cable lengths with the ability to connect to multiple computers. Additionally low cost cables, standard hardware and high scalability allow for cost effective machine vision and image processing applications. A user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI), provided as part of the camera's extensive Software Development Kit (SDK), allows users to control all camera functions easily. Changes to the acquisition mode of the camera automatically update the API for easy image acquisition. Special features built into the camera's software driver enables seamless data transfer and minimises computer Central Processing Unit (CPU) usage to only a few percent.

The TM-4200GE provides 12-bit linear output. Additionally, it has a patent-pending, built-in look-up table (LUT) and automatic dual channel compensation which provides fast 10-bit to 8-bit pre-processing for effective image feature enhancement. The unique, user-definable variable partial scan mode enables the user to designate scanning to occur on any contiguous set of lines located anywhere in the full scan area. It also features defective pixel compensation and a PIV mode for advanced flow analysis.

With its GigE architecture, the TM-4200GE is ideally suited for use in applications requiring ultra-high resolution where size, performance, cost or cable length is important.
