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.
• Gain: Fixed/manual adjustment (0 to +18 dB)
• Field accumulation/Frame accumulation
• Synchronized input/output (HD/VD)
• 75Ωterminal (at external synchronous input)
• Shutter function: Normal/external trigger shutter
• Shutter speed
External Synchronization
External HD/VD signals are analyzed and the synchronization mode is automatically selected
to match the input signals.
Internal Synchronizing Signal Output
HD and VD signals can be outputted from the 12-pin connector by changing the switch posi-
tion on the rear panel.
Electric Shutter Speed
A variety of shutter speeds (1/100 to 1/100,000 sec) is provided to permit choice suitable for
shooting conditions.
External Trigger Function
A trigger input provides one still image. This function exactly captures a subject moving at a
high speed.
Cabinet Fixing
The cabinet fixing screw hole is provided below the front panel which includes the CCD datum
level. Fix the camera using this screw hole to minimize shifts in the optical axis.

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.

75Ωterminal switch (Terminal of external synchronizing HD/VD input signal)
Set this switch to OFF when not terminated. The factory setting is ON.
3
HD/VD signal input/output selector switch
Set to INT to output the HD/VD signals from the camera, and EXT to input external HD/VD signals.
The factory setting is EXT.
4
MODE SELECT switch

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.
Long Term Exposure
When the camera is used and sufficient sensitivity cannot be obtained for the reset-restart
function under normal operating conditions, or when observation of the trail of a moving
subject is desired, the exposure time can be extended to allow high-sensitivity images to be
obtained. To achieve this, please input from an external source a VD signal that has an ex-
panded VD pulse and VD pulse interval.

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.
The following two modes are available for video timing.
• SYNC-NON RESET Mode
In this mode, the video is synchronized to VD after the trigger input.
When external HD*/VD is input: Sync is to external VD
When external HD*/VD is not input: Sync is to internal VD
*There is automatic determination of external sync or internal sync by the presence or
absence of external HD input.
• SYNC-RESET Mode
In this mode, reset is applied to the internal VD and the video is output after a fixed period
following the trigger pulse.
External Trigger Shutter Speed Setting
The following two methods are available for shutter speed setting.
•1 pulse trigger mode␣ (Setting by the MODE SELECT switch of the rear panel)
For shutter speed, refer to the table below.
