"The Television Camera Tube" (16mm 1967)

Another mesmerizing, strangely undead-feeling TV engineering film from Philips, this one focused on the intricate workings of the camera tube. Distributed in Canada by Carman Educational Associates (my grandfather, Donald Carman).

amazing technology just acts like black magic. thanks for sharing the recording to explain the working principle. This helps a lot to understand the current cmos sensor industry.

What’s cool to see is that from the spots and imperfections in this recording you can tell it was shot on film, and from the CRT line scanning effect you can tell that the film camera was pointed to a CRT tv that was displaying these graphics. Just watched the 4 year old Veritasium video on how video was created so seeing this happen in real life is pretty cool!

I'm still a little unsure if I'm getting it. My understanding is that the horizontal and vertical bias controllers, the capacitors work together. It actually just records the current of one pixel point at a time, and then records a lot of points per image, and then 25 images per second

It's super, thanks.

Canada? Why does the voice over sound British??

[@satanmacnuggit]

Well at this time Canada was a secondary market to the UK so I’m sure they re-used the voiceover. Pretty sure the actual country of origin is Germany?
