Vidicon for Film Pickup
This paper discusses the use of a vidicon camera tube for film pickup and describes special operating techniques for obtaining best performance. The operating principles of the vidicon are reviewed briefly and performance characteristics are given. Basic features desired for satisfactory reproduction of film on television are discussed, including high signal-to-noise ratio, “built-in” gamma of the proper magnitude, accurate black-level reproduction, excellent resolution, and freedom from spurious signals.
