Phillip B. Laeser

WTMJ-TV's pioneer color installation and the operational problems faced by its engineers during 1954 and early 1955 are discussed. The results and experience gained by integrating color film slides and live color camera equipment with the monochrome system are given. The scope of the discussion includes some of the technical difficulties and handling of the color signals from the camera to studio control room through the master and TV transmitter. Color test procedures, lighting, air-conditioning and manpower requirements are explained.
