Camera is already back together.
Plugging it into my computer does nothing, presumably because it needs an external source of power to which I can not give as I do not know what voltage it needs. I also don't know that that I/O port is for.
It's no laser. I have personally never owned a large laser myself but I simply know that even if it was a diode laser it would be a LOT bigger.

That number goes nowhere.
plug that shit in to your fuckin computer man

I/O port looks like some sort of video output.

Somehow you missed the post above yours.
Whoops :v:
It almost looks like some kind of regulated laser diode. Why else would it have that much cooling?
Nvm, didn't see your new post.
[QUOTE=Samuelgames;30400965]If you're wondering, You need a 5-pin CEE Plug for what it seems, Look it up on the diagrams and you might be able to power it up with some wiring

The connector on it doesn't look big enough for it to be that imo, looks like a DIN 5c. I dunno if it can be used for power though.

Try searching up the function of some of the chips on the boards, you may be able to piece something together from them.

The part number seems to agree [url]http://www.te.com/catalog/pn/en/748481-5[/url]
"AMPLIMITE* HD-22"
The circular connector means nothing. Half the leads tie into one line on the board, the other to ground. If anything it means that this camera needs a fair amount of amperage. If this wasn't presumably so expensive I would plug it into the bench supply and slowly crank up the voltage until it starts responding but that's a dangerous way of doing it.
I gave up researching chips and shit on unknown boards ages ago. Too many times I'll google it and be spammed by pages of chinese chip wholesalers who won't even supply a datasheet.
How much does a decent high-speed camera cost?
If you post some higher resolution photos so that the markings on the ICs are readable, it's possible we could identify what voltage you need to supply and more about this device.
That's definitely a camera of some kind though. There's also some kind of ROM chip on there, if you have appropriate hardware, dumping that might give you some clues as to who made this.
I love threads like this.
I always eagerly wait for the results of this technical detective work.
^ This. If it really is a high-speed camera, then that is one nice find. I have always wanted to fuck around with a high-speed camera.
What kind of port is the I/O? It looks like a parallel port or DVI.
it doesn't really look like a high-speed camera
looks like a research camera from the 80's

Does that black wire say 300V?
If it is a camera, why would if have a massive-as-fuck sized heatsink on it?

Maybe because a camera taking 100s of photos a second may get just a little hot?
By the way, I think we can confirm that it is a high-speed camera. Take a look at these:

They look pretty similar to what you've found.
No better photos until tomorrow as the sun has set and I currently don't have the shop setup to take photographs. The only thing I have to dump chips is a PIC programmer which even to me is useless (I'm better off with an EPROM burner)
The I/O port uses a DB26 connector. Think a larger VGA port.

$1000 easily. The even more expensive ones have their own dedicated burst storage because you need an assload of bandwidth to store 1000 800x600 images in a second.
Edit: OKay,I'll try to dismantle it on my desk but I really do not want to repeatedly take it apart and put it back together. Eventually parts will break and screws will go missing. There's a dozen screws along holding the front on.

You know, if it is a high speed camera, the aperture looks to be pretty small and I don't see any real lens.
I'm no camera expert at all, but it seems to have a lot of cooling features for a camera.
Maybe it's some sort of laser? I say this because that thing is packed with heat sinks and fans.
Only thing is though, I have no idea why a laser would have a data I/O or such complicated circuitry. I'm probably wrong.
Best thing to do is bring it to a specialty shop and have them tell you what it is and how to use it. If you're lucky it still works.
Somehow, you manage to find the coolest shit and get it for free or for cheap. >:(

DPSS lasers do have a I/O port on them and are pretty technical. I know there are a few people here that work with lab lasers, maybe they know more.
It's no laser. It just has a tiny ass lens on it right now for some reason.

That CCD is so sexy. <3
Anyways, the two boards the camera consists of are dedicated to voltage regulation and logic respectively.
Here's the logic board, both sides. A lot of those SMT parts seem like they had an iron near them as there's a lot of excess solder on some.

Then there is the other board. It accepts in power from the circular connector and then distributes it from there.

This thing has a lot of tantalum caps on it. I like that but it means that they are expecting some wicked temps in here where regular lytics would not like to be.
the first picture above looks like a image sensor.
am i wrong?
