CVC-2000 (1965): The first consumer (early
pro-sumer?) B/W vidicon camera. The viewfinder consist of two square wire
loops that the operator peeped through. I call this marvelous feature "Squint-Cam"!

grabbed by computer. This set was used by the Dutch television (NOS) for
multiple camera configuration on location. I'm still trying to get some
info and pictures (from the NOS) where you can see these camera's in action
on location. Each camera has his own camera control unit which you can
see in the pictures. The camera also has features like; tally light, return
video, intercom and an option to manual operate functions that normally
are controlled by the CCU. Photos and info: Derran Rootring 03.06.04 |
