A Portable Color Camera with ${1\over2}$-in Video Recorder for Electronic Journalism

Hans R. Groll

One of the most important requirements for on-the-spot news coverage is flexibility and freedom of movement for the cameramen. Heretofore such freedom of movement was possible only with film cameras. Electronic Journalism, as envisaged by the author, requires a small, electronic, handheld color camera, self-powered, producing adequate picture quality, combined with a small, portable, self-powered magnetic recorder. Such a camera can produce images of better quality while providing a significant gain in time. This paper describes the components of the Robert Bosch KCR 40 camera developed to meet these requirements.
