Improved Television Viewfinder for Motion-Picture Production

Karl Freund

A low-cost TV viewfinder using a 1-in. vidicon with 600-line resolution is described. An earlier version of this viewfinder which used a 1/2-in. vidicon with 300-line resolution was presented at the Society's 80th Convention in Los Angeles. The new viewfinder is expected to cut costs of motion-picture production by enabling the director to view a picture on a TV monitor as it is being filmed, thus aiding him in making decisions concerning re-takes.
