A Portable Compact Color Television Facility

By selecting state-of-the-art equipment of various vendors and custom building the necessary interfaces, it has proved possible to assemble a compact portable color television facility to complement a fixed studio facility and to produce pictures indistinguishable in quality from the fixed facility pictures. The new facility is transportable by step van or by air or other carrier and can be put in operation by three or fewer persons in less than 30 min. Among the off-the-shelf components of the facility are a color camera and camera control unit, a 1-in (2.54-cm) helical-scan VTR and time-base-control system, special-effects equipment, monitors, audio equipment, post-production equipment and a 12.5-kW generator. The packing cases for much of the equipment are integral with the equipment housings and consoles.
