- The EMI 2005 , 3 Tube Broadcast Camera was introduced in 1970 . It was used by the BBC , ITV Companies , ITN , NBN3 Newcastle Australia , CBC Vancouver Canada and VRT Belgium . These are the first tests after a long restoration.
Astonishing picture quality for 1970! Broadcast television equipment was always state-of-the-art when it came to quality. Thanks for sharing. I was 5 years old in 1970.
That old technology absolutely fascinates me. And to think of the intellect required to engineer such things. Generations of geniuses improving other geniuses work.
Wow. My misses thinks I'm nuts for owning a DigiBeta camcorder, but this is going to a whole different level.
What a gorgeous and sharp picture!
That is possibly one of the most sharpest analog cameras I’ve ever seen! And it’s from 1970?!
Only 400 lines, a broadcast camera should resolve more then that 700 out of the CCU maybe?
@@Patrick_AUBRY Well viewed natively on a good screen, or on a good analog-to-digital converter inside a tv, it will look much better than a cheap digital transfer.
the problem at the time was analog transmission to the public...
I'm going to guess that it is the British PAL standard vs. USA NTSC. PAL was developed after NTSC, and has more scan lines, sharper picture. I remember visiting Britain in the old days of analog TV and noticed the TVs had a better quality picture than the USA.
Sony HDC-100, HDC-300, HDC-500, BTS KCH 1000 are also analog cameras with over 1000 lines. Additionally, there are Sony BVP-300, 330, 350, 360 tube cameras with more than 700 lines of resolution. Without listing other manufacturers.
I believe that this camera is far from being the sharpest. Also, its registration cannot be compared to any of the mentioned cameras.
looks way better then anything digital, tube cameras create a fantasy asthetic to the image , digital is so dull and lifeless
Wow, looks absolutely superb! Always liked the picture quality of the early 70s british tv.
What a great picture this thing puts out, a really distinctive and familiar look to it.
When I built a TV-studio in 1973, the Sony black and white cameras had a resolution of 500 lines.....
It's because, 400 lines , is 5Mhz of picture definition, which was the specification of the Pal transmission standard, so that's all it had to do . But I know what you mean about Sony cameras I have some late 3 tube ones and they will do 650 lines though the pal system connected direct to the monitor
EMI 2005 i have 3 full restored here in my collection in brazil they was from tv iguaçu canal 4 curitiba i restores all cameras with new transistor and new capacitors also 3 NOS plumbicon tubes the picture is superb with LED indoor lights in my test room
Excellent, broadcast cameras , are a great, thing to collect
This camera was used in the first color TV broadcast in Brazil on February 19, 1972, and was used by TV Difusora de Porto Alegre (today part of Rede Bandeirantes).
Thanks for the information , it's always interesting to find out where EMI 2005 cameras were used
Superb! This is simply superb!
08:32 What a amazing coollection! Excelent!🤩
also with all those lights and knobs, a great 'canvas' for an Airwolf style startup sequence.
70's colours, priceless 😊
Nice picture quality.
Thanks for sharing thats really neat.
Very nostalgic to me, who has worked with the Swedish Television Company. But not with this camera.....I think it was Ikegami three tube.....
Very interesting NBN 3 (Newcastle Australia) got a mention ... I learnt TV craft with a few of these - late 70's. Moved on to making hundreds of TV commercials for an Ad agency with them, but not behind the camera. With the right pedestal it was a great camera use. And the quality was amazing ...Thank you EMI
Thanks, it is now on a proper Vinten tripod
@@vintagevideo4044 - mate - you have the camera ... the support looks OK - just dont point it left or you'll break the window ! ?

You have a piece of broadcasting history,

Beautiful bit of kit and impressive image quality, especially as (I assume) it’s optics and electronics are all from over 50 years ago! Sure older cameras were huge, but they had *style*.
There are slightly larger colour cameras, they were made in about 1967 and had 4 tubes inside, 3 for red, green and blue, and one more for the luminance image. EMI made one called the 2001and Marconi made the Mk7. Both are bigger than the 2005
I've tried an even older one (Sony NTSC) back in college 30 years ago. It took a long time on the morning to warm up to use the CCU. Matching it up with the current cameras of the day wasn't easy.
It's probably some of the capacitors, low in value, having said that, both the the Sony BVP330ap cameras have had nothing done, one had a dirty contact on a toggle switch, that stopped it turning on
idk if it's the room or the camera but it is oddly nostalgic, just get that feel from it you know
Yes I have LDK14 and 54 and a 90
That is a beauty 😍
So interesting. Thank you! 8:51 Jurassic Park! :)
The film footage reminds me of watching 70s TV shows The Sweeney and The Professionals 😃
A really tough job to adjust and register this camera! On todays modern CCD-camcorders you nearly have no controls at all! Everything can be done automatically!
Footage on the TV looks crisper than the footage filming it
That's a great camera
Blimey never heard of the 2005. I saw the 2001 at Elstree in 1990 but we mainly had the Link 110 and 125 at TV Centre before they moved to Thomson
"hey baby want to make a home movie" and my nerdy self would drag that into the bedroom and be like YEP! I know how to make ladies leave lol.
Ive just acquired two complete 2005 camera chains which I want to restore, with auto centre units, all the cables including a load of different length TV81, shot boxes and focus, Variotel lenses and the operator control panels. I'm looking for manuals for these now, can you help at all ?
The manuals are 4 large volumes, that would be to much to copy and even then I don't have everything that was published. I don't know where you are but there is a group that have set up a museum in the UK and they did offer to let me look at their manuals for them on site, but I managed to sort out all the faults, so did not take up their offer. But look at www.becg.tv
very very interesting! 😀
Amazing acquisition, not everyone can brag they have a TV camera from the BBC or any other broadcast camera for that matter! thanks for showing us the Innards also,
are you / were you, a Tech /camera operator for BBC TV?
a couple of the other camera's in your collection remind me of the one that Edison Carter carried around for network XXIII . in the Max Headroom Movie and series
BTW what does the HOP position on the Normal/Hop toggle do?
I am a video engineer. The Hop switch is for a latter type of plumbicon tube , that handles shiny things in the scene it's filming, a lot better, rather than tuning them into a bright blob, it shows the details better. The switch changes the way the circuit board scans the tube and if left in the wrong position can damage the tubes.
@@vintagevideo4044 I remember on early 1960's 70's American black and white television shows, if a woman was was wearing a sequined dress it created a lot of little flares when the studio lights hit them just right, and also stripes in men's ties or jackets used to cause weird strobing effects.i guess that was also an issue with 1970's color TV camera's back in the day. thank you for the explanation, love your awesome television camera collection BTW 😀
Would it be possible for you to have the raw feed in a video? Perhaps even present to the EMI?
The camera control unit, gives our a RGB signal, that and be fed into a colour monitor, or the traditional way to do it , is feed the RGB into a PAL coder ,and turn it into PAL coded video. I use a coder made by COX electronics. The only signal the CCU can have fed into it , is viewfinder external video , from another camera or pattern generator , and that must have the same sync timing as the camera is running on, or the picture on the viewfinder is in the wrong position. It really only has the connections that were required at that time.
They still use huge cameras in broadcasting. They have look professional so size counts.
Most of the size is the lens. the smaller cameras normally sit in a frame to make them fit the lens and pedestal
An amateur comment there.
Take a look at a Sony HDC-2500 or 3500. They aren’t very big. Those camera bodies get put into a “sled” so the camera op can use a 100x or more piece of glass. The sled also gives the camera op a bigger viewfinder and also power and connections for a teleprompter if needed.
A magnificent effort to get this camera channel going. Can I ask where you got the camera channel from? And, were you involved in camera maintenance in your 'day job'.
I am a video engineer, maintaining all sorts of equipment. The camera channel came from a camera man, who had saved it and another, many years ago, and finally decided to find them a new home
What camera have you filmed this demonstration with?
I have to say absolutely outstanding, to bring this camera back into operational condition is amazing, how many hours has this taken and where did you start
I generally start, with the power supply and see how good some capacitors are , if ok then power everything up and then, sort out the faults which are present until, I get a good picture, which can take a lot of hours
@@vintagevideo4044 I take my hat off to you patients, outstanding work
I love seeing those devices brought back to life , so you have any Link Electronics cameras
👏
Were is this from? Who owns a camera like this today? And has it any use? Is it more of a museum piece?
Have you got the shot box for this?
Yes, it's combined with the focus control and it has 6 zoom presets and zoom preset speed control and a zoom angle meter
I've always wondered if these old broadcast cameras match DVD quality or excel it?
The main thing with camera picture quality, is how good are the pick up tubes, this camera has a very good set of tubes, so with careful set up, it can give a picture quality, that almost matches a DVD
insteresting i assume the test image is a PPI/DPI scale, and it dont show texture for 500 +
up to 400 is shown
The test chart is a Marconi Resolution Chart No 1 , and in this case also marked EEV, which is English Electric Valve, and used from about 1965 , all the early colour cameras in the UK and other countries , always stated the modulation depth at 400 lines , so a good 400 line performance is what they aimed for. 400 lines is 5MHz in vision bandwidth. The chart does go up to 800 lines, which was for some black and white cameras that could do more, so 800 lines is 10MHz , some of my late Sony 3 ccd standard definition 4/3 cameras will just about do 700 lines on the chart
One of your gadgets (oscilloscope maybe) said Marconi on it! 🤯
It's a Marconi Mk5 picture and waveform monitor. It has a re gunned monitor tube, which was done many years ago and still as good as new
@@vintagevideo4044 We , in Manchester, used many Marconi Mk5 picture and waveform monitors .... ended up using Marconi Mk 9 cameras in all the studios.
Ah, looks like the Cars 2 one :>
Must have cost a fortune in 1970.
Probably over £50k
@@vintagevideo4044 Right, so in 1970's money much more than an average home.
Yes, not many manufacturers ever published prices.
Have you had any 2001s working? I sold my 2001 head to a chap who had assistance to get one of his working in about 2009 - anything to do with yourself?
I have no 2001 cameras yet, but am looking for one, to restore
Hi. I know someone who owns a number of 2001s and would be keen to make contact - is there a way for him to drop you a line?@@vintagevideo4044
do you have one of these for sale?
Sadly not
There is one of these for sale , it's expensive, if you are interested then, send me a message on vintagevideo82@gmail.com
Please note, the 2005 camera is now sold to another collector
Hello, did you advertise the sale? - I enquired about this four months ago - will you be able to let me know about items in the future for sale?@@vintagevideo4044
how much did it go for?@@vintagevideo4044
Superb ..Do you have any EMI-20001 cameras in your vast collection?
Not at the moment, but hopefully I will, one day
What a great piece of technology and engineering. Judging by its name, is the 2005 the smaller version of the EMI 2001?
Yes it is , about half of the circuit boards are the same or very similar
Only ever used by the BBC in their Manchester studios. By all accounts the picture was vastly inferior to that from the 2001.
They spelled color wrong
Not on the UK, that's how we spell it
Tubes!
