Re: 1960s/70s Philips video camera
Amazing Brian, I’ve never seen the original shooting kit before. We used to get just the camera body in from Philips ( Purley Way I think) and then replace the DIN plug with a 7-pinXLR which was our standard “EVF” connector.
BTW 77, the slow rolling frame sync you mentioned will be almost certainly due to the free running timebases I described.
We would use a small DIY xtal SPG ( using the good old Ferranti ZNA134) if accurate sync was required.
Then there was the scary PSU/SPG/Mixer/DA system, again DIY’ed by a couple of us BBC tv engineers, that was designed to act as a sort of crude production centre for multi film camera shoots like concerts etc. which could record the rough-cut onto U- matic.
It worked. Sort-of.
