Default Re: CCD camera history

I was not involved with Broadcast Cameras but Cameras used in Industry.
It’s a subject that’s always interested me, unfortunately i was unable to dedicate as much time studying the subject as I would like to have done, this was left to the back room boys.
I was involved with the project engineers when we started to change from Videcon Tubes to CCD Sensors. The large Optics we used had ND wedges, Filters and Rotating Shutters, so changing from the Videcon sensor to the CCD sensor and getting the results we wanted proved a real challenge for the special tasks we had to fulfill.
One final observation, I wonder what the old broadcast engineers must think when they seen the picture on a moder TV!
Cheers
