6A203Cameras and components, other than those specified in 6A003, as follows:

N.B.1.
"Software" specially designed to enhance or release the performance of a camera or imaging device to meet the characteristics of 6A203.a., 6A203.b. or 6A203.c. is specified in 6D203.
N.B.2.
"Technology" in the form of codes or keys to enhance or release the performance of a camera or imaging device to meet the characteristics of 6A203.a., 6A203.b. or 6A203.c. is specified in 6E203.
Note:
6A203.a. to 6A203.c. does not control cameras or imaging devices if they have hardware, "software" or "technology" constraints that limit the performance to less than that specified below, provided they meet any of the following:
1. They need to be returned to the original manufacturer to make the enhancements or release the constraints;
2. They require "software" as specified in 6D203 to enhance or release the performance to meet the characteristics of 6A203;
or
3. They require "technology" in the form of keys or codes as specified in 6E203 to enhance or release the performance to meet the characteristics of 6A203.
a. Streak cameras, and specially designed components therefor, as follows:
1. Streak cameras with writing speeds greater than 0,5 mm/μs;
2. Electronic streak cameras capable of 50 ns or less time resolution;
3. Streak tubes for cameras specified in 6A203.a.2.;
4. Plug-ins specially designed for use with streak cameras which have modular structures and that enable the performance specifications in 6A203.a.1. or 6A203.a.2.;
5. Synchronizing electronics units, rotor assemblies consisting of turbines, mirrors and bearings specially designed for cameras specified in 6A203.a.1.;
b. Framing cameras, and specially designed components therefor, as follows:
1. Framing cameras with recording rates greater than 225 000 frames per second;
2. Framing cameras capable of 50 ns or less frame exposure time;
3. Framing tubes and solid-state imaging devices having a fast image gating (shutter) time of 50 ns or less specially designed for cameras specified in 6A203.b.1. or 6A203.b.2.;
4. Plug-ins specially designed for use with framing cameras which have modular structures and that enable the performance specifications in 6A203.b.1. or 6A203.b.2.;
5. Synchronizing electronics units, rotor assemblies consisting of turbines, mirrors and bearings specially designed for cameras specified in 6A203.b.1. or 6A203.b.2.;
Technical Note:
In 6A203.b., high speed single frame cameras can be used alone to produce a single image of a dynamic event, or several such cameras can be combined in a sequentially-triggered system to produce multiple images of an event.
c. Solid-state or electron tube cameras, and specially designed components therefor, as follows:
1. Solid-state cameras or electron tube cameras with a fast image gating (shutter) time of 50 ns or less;
2. Solid-state imaging devices and image intensifiers tubes having a fast image gating (shutter) time of 50 ns or less specially designed for cameras specified in 6A203.c.1.;
3. Electro-optical shuttering devices (Kerr or Pockels cells) with a fast image gating (shutter) time of 50 ns or less;
4. Plug-ins specially designed for use with cameras which have modular structures and that enable the performance specifications in 6A203.c.1.
d. Radiation-hardened TV cameras, or lenses therefor, specially designed or rated as radiation hardened to withstand a total radiation dose greater than 50 × 103 Gy(silicon) (5 × 106 rad (silicon)) without operational degradation.
Technical Note:
The term Gy(silicon) refers to the energy in Joules per kilogram absorbed by an unshielded silicon sample when exposed to ionising radiation.
