Features of a New Three-Tube Color Television Camera

D. G. Perkins

The main design aim for a three-tube color camera was to produce a high-quality broadcast camera that requires the minimum of line-up time and that maintains its adjustments over long periods. Experience with a four-tube camera has greatly influenced the design and very many of its proven features have been retained. The camera is the unit most affected by redesign in order to achieve optimum performance from the three-tube configuration. Basically the same scanning and video plug-in printed circuits, adapted for three tubes, are used. The direct imaging prism type of light splitter includes an additional input for the bias light and internal diascope.
