The Color-TV Film Camera that outmodes all other approaches *TP-6BC 16mm Professional Film Projector ^TK-26A 3-Vidicon Film Camera *TP-3B Disk 2x2 Dual Slide Projector Multiplexer 16mm Professional Film Projector The RCA TK-26A uses 3 small, inexpensive Vidicon cameras to handle red, green, and blue individually (see diagram) —and a fixed lens-and-dichroic mirror system—for handling color separation. Electronic control assures precise registration of the three cameras for day-in, day-out operation. Here is the color film system that not only handles 16 and 3 5 -mm motion picture film — but slides as well! UNMATCHED PICTURE QUALITY Resolution and stability are unmatched by any other approach. Gamma is ideal— needs virtually no correction. Color fidelity equals the high-quality standards set by RCA's studio color camera. Exceptional stability and precise picture registration are characteristics that assure simplicity and ease of operation and a minimum of maintenance. Ample reserve of light assures best possible pictures from the densest of films. NEW, EASY MULTIPLEXING As simple and straightforward as any monochrome arrangement, the TK-26A includes all facilities needed for color film programming — slides, film, and multiplexer. You can interchange slides, and 16 and 35-mm film— just like you do with black and white. EMPLOYS STANDARD TYPE PROJECTORS RCA's TK-26A Film Camera System works with standard type television projectors such as the RCA TP-6BC. You get ample light to handle dense films— and at the same time you avoid complicated projector equipment involving moving optical parts. RCA's equipment operates with "station tested" reliability.
