OPERATING GUIDE CCD CAMERA IK-53N/IK-52N FCC Statement This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must ac- cept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
1. GENERAL The IK-53N/IK-52N is a monochrome video camera using a solid image sensor CCD (Charged Coupled Device). High Picture Quality The 410,000 pixels CCD provides a fine picture. Various Modes Setting The following modes can be set by the switches on the rear panel.
2. CAMERA PARTS AND FUNCTIONS Top/Bottom/Front Side [Top] [Bottom] [Front] Lens mount (C mount) This is used to mount a C-mount type lens or optical equipment.

Rear Side HD/VD VIDEO OUT DC IN/SYNC VIDEO OUT DC IN/SYNC plug (12-pin connector) This receives +12 VDC, and sends a video signal from the camera. When a synchronizing signal generator is connected to this plug and an external synchronizing signal (HD/VD signal) is applied, the camera can be operated synchronously with the external signal.
4. SETTING 4-1. Field accumulation/Frame accumulation This switch selects the potential accumulation mode of the CCD output signal. The mode can be set with the MODE SELECT switch bit 9 on the rear panel. Rear HD/VD VIDEO OUT DC IN/SYNC M GAIN MODE SELECT Switch Field accumulation Frame accumulation...
4-2. Electronic Shutter This can be set with the MODE SELECT switch located on the rear panel. Description of the MODE SELECT Switch Rear HD/VD VIDEO OUT DC IN/SYNC M GAIN *The electronic shutter cannot be used in the reset-restart operation. Normal Shutter This mode permits a high-speed moving subject to be captured clearly with a shutter function incorporating a continuously available video signal.
4-3. Reset Restart Input of an external reset-restart signal (VD) permits one screen of information to be output at an arbitrary timing. To set this mode, set the external trigger mode selection switch (i.e., MODE SELECT switch bits 5, 6, and 7) as illustrated in the diagram below. Rear HD/VD VIDEO OUT...
4-4. External Trigger Mode Input of an external trigger permits a high-speed moving object to be captured at the proper position. Set the rear panel external trigger mode selection switch (i.e., MODE SELECT switch bits 5, 6, and 7) as illustrated in the diagram below. REAR HD/VD VIDEO OUT...

Refer to page 9. *3: VD is generated after 0 to 1H following the completion of the exposure period and the video is synchronized to this and output.
5. Input Output Signal Specifications HD/VD Output Amplitude Specifications The amplitude level is the representative value when terminated with 10k . Output is enabled when the rear panel HD/VD signal input/output switch is set to the INT side. VIDEO INDEX Output Specifications 262.5H The amplitude level is the representative value when terminated with 10k .
