Discharge Lamps and Color Television

R. E. Putman, J. F. Wiggin, C. N. Clark, H. G. Williams

New types of high-efficiency discharge lamps are being used increasingly to light many areas, including sports stadiums and arenas where color TV pickups are often made. Colorimetric calculations and live TV tests show that, despite some color distortion due to the light-source spectra, TV color quality is adequate for remote pickups of sports and other events. Suggestions are given for lighting-system design and for meeting operational problems related to remote pickups under discharge lamps.
