6A003

a.  Instrumentation cameras and specially designed components therefor, as follows:

     Note:  Instrumentation cameras, controlled by 6A003.a.3 to 6A003.a.5, with modular 
            structures should be evaluated by their maximum capability, using plug-ins 
            available according to the camera manufacturer's specifications.

     a.1.  High-speed cinema recording cameras using any film format from 8 mm to 16 mm 
           inclusive, in which the film is continuously advanced throughout the recording period, 
           and that are capable of recording at framing rates 
           exceeding 13,150 frames/s;

           Note:  6A003.a.1 does not control cinema recording cameras designed for civil purposes.

     a.2.  Mechanical high speed cameras, in which the film does not move, capable of recording at 
           rates exceeding 1,000,000 frames/s for the full framing height of 35 mm film, or at 
           proportionately higher rates for lesser frame heights, or at proportionately 
           lower rates for greater frame heights;

     a.3.  Mechanical or electronic streak cameras having writing speeds exceeding 10 mm/ s;

     a.4.  Electronic framing cameras having a speed exceeding 1,000,000 frames/s;

     a.5.  Electronic cameras, having all of the following:

          a.5.a.  An electronic shutter speed (gating capability) of less than 1 s per full frame; and 

          a.5.b.  A read out time allowing a framing rate of more than 125 full frames per second.

     a.6.  Plug-ins, having all of the following characteristics:

          a.6.a.  Specially designed for instrumentation cameras which have modular structures and that are controlled by 6A003.a; and

          a.6.b.  Enabling these cameras to meet the characteristics specified in 
                  6A003.a.3, 6A003.a.4 or 6A003.a.5, according to the manufacturer's specifications.
