Page 22 TM-6760 Series Progressive Scan Sh utter Cameras Operation 3.9 Scan Modes The TM-6760 supports the followin g scan modes: 3.9.1 Full Progressive Scan The normal scan mode progressively scans a full fram e of 648 x 484 pixels at 30/60 frames per second using the standard 12.
Page 23 TM-6760 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Ca meras Operation images acquired at very high shutter speeds. The electronic shut ter , which has speeds to 1/16,000 sec., can be reset asynchro nously by external pulse con tro l. Uniform square pixels provid e superior image definition in any orien tation.
