Legal Notice.
For Customers in U.S.A.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required
to correct the interference at his own expense. You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in
this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment. The shielded interface cable recommended in this manual
must be used with this equipment in order to comply with the limits for a computing device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15
of FCC Rules.
For customers in Europe
This apparatus has been certified to meet or exceed the standards for CE compliance per the Council Directives. Pertinent
testing documentation is available for verification.
For customers in Canada
This apparatus complies with the Class B limits for radio noise emissions set out in the Radio Interference Regulations.
Pour utilisateurs au France
Cet appareil est conforme aux normes Classe B pour bruits radioélectriques, spécifiées dans le Règlement sur le brouillage
radioélectrique.
Life support applications
These products are not designed for use in life support appliances, devices, or systems where malfunction of these products
can reasonably be expected to result in personal injury. Allied customers using or selling these products for use in such
applications do so at their own risk and agree to fully indemnify allied for any damages resulting from such improper use or
sale.
Before You Start
This manual should help you in the installation and setting up of the camera; and we recommend that you carefully follow the
instructions described. To ensure that your warranty remains valid, please read the manual carefully before using the camera.

may void the warranty. For prevention of fire or electric shock, DO NOT remove screws or covers from the camera.
Operation in a wet environment is NOT recommended and the camera SHOULD NOT be exposed to rain or moisture.
For prolong life and the protection of the camera’s CCD, do not point the camera directly at the sun or a strong spotlight which
may result in CCD blooming and permanent damage.
DO NOT operate the camera beyond the operation temperature range stated and AVOID usage in conditions exceeding 90%
humidity.
DO NOT use an unregulated power supply source to prevent damage to the camera’s circuits.
Use soft materials such as lens tissue or cotton tipped applicator with ethanol for CCD faceplate cleaning ONLY when
necessary and AVOID contact with fingers or any hard object. Do not use solvent, abrasives or detergent when cleaning the
camera body.
Warranty shall be voided for improper use of the camera or fault caused by the user or damage caused by other equipment
due to negligence
Warranty
IMI TECH warrants the original components free of defects for one year from purchase date. This warranty covers failures
and damage due to defect, which may occur during normal use. It does not cover damages or failure resulting from
mishandling, abuse, misuse or modification. An RMA number must be obtained in advance for every repair or replacement.

1. Introduction
1.1. Overview
IMI Tech’s new NILE Series opens up a new horizon on digital image processing; by providing more features in a
small form factor while still maintaining excellent cost effectiveness and high quality. The NILE Series models are
comprised of a wide range of sensor resolutions and are equipped with a FireWireTM interface and a trigger to suit
the needs of every application.
The NILE Series offers the highest frame rate in each of its resolutions, compared with other products currently
available. The small form factor design has expanded implementation and broadens application areas by
eliminating the limits that currently exist due to size and weight.
A large selection of cameras is available and additional cameras are scheduled to be added to the NILE Series as
well. These will consist of various sensor sizes (1/2”, 2/3” 1/3”, 1/1.8”) and resolution (VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA,
UXGA) both in color and black and white. The NILE Series consist of the following models.

NILE Series ’s unique features include a lookup table and external trigger mode 0 ~ 5 plus 12,13,14,15, multi
camera auto-sync, one-shot and multi-shot, a wide range of shutter sp eeds (1us ~ 3600s), RS232C pass through
via FireWire
TM
, Fast format 7 partial scan, and horizontal and vertical binning modes (1x2, 2x2 for B&W). All
of these features provide maximum flexibility for a wide variety of applications. NILE Series‘s
firmware can be upgraded via FireWire
TM
and the latest versions are available through our website together with
IMI’s SDK and demo applications.
