Power Supplies for Image-Orthicon Transistor Television Cameras

R. Matchell, R. B. Hale, G. E. Hayden-Pigg

The exclusive use of transistors considerably reduces the total power required by a broadcast quality image-orthicon TV camera. However, the high electrode potentials and considerable scanning and focusing powers required by a 4 1/2-in. image-orthicon tube present difficult problems in efficiently supplying power to the camera when used at some distance from its control unit. The nature of the problem is described and some solutions given.
