Tutorial: The CCD Camera for Field Production Applications

Peter J. Wonfor, Jean-Pierre Lacoste

Now that the broadcast-quality charge-coupled device (CCD) television camera is here, it is time to reevaluate the potential applications for cameras incorporating this new technology. This article considers the viability of the CCD camera for field production applications as well as ENG, in which it has already established itself as the favorite. The arguments are basically the same for full-size field production cameras and high-quality lightweight units; however, this article concentrates on the extent to which the CCD camera, compared with traditional tube models, meets the requirements for a lightweight field production camera.
