Camera Tubes for Color Television Broadcast Service
A brief review is made of tubes currently used in television camera systems and of tubes which have been found basically unsuitable for color camera work. General requirements of tubes for color television pickup are discussed, and basic performance characteristics that limit the pickup field to several tubes for color television are evaluated. The performance characteristics of vidicons and image orthicons now used are compared with the required characteristics. Quality problems encountered in color pickup are discussed, and methods used to overcome these problems are described. Operating devices used to improve performance are evaluated.
