The IK-52V 1/2-in. and -53V 1/3-in. instruments weigh 45 g each and measure 29 mm³. They provide horizontal resolution at 500 TV lines via 659 × 494 effective pixels. With shutter speeds from 1/60 to 1/100,000 s and noninterlaced shuttering, the cameras achieve crisp images at high speeds. Their signal-to-noise ratio is 60 dB.
