Unlimited system plus superb picture quality... make RCA best Improved technical quality in your film programs need not require a big investment ICONOSCOPE CONVERSION You can start simply and build gradually, if you prefer, first by converting iconoscope film cameras to RCA vidicon film cameras. You'll get marked improvement in gray scale, tremendously increased signal-to-noise ratio, improvement in resolution, and provision for automatic black level control ... all with a minimum of operating attention. The "snap," clarity and live effect will be immediately reflected in advertiser preference. MONOCHROME SYSTEM EXPANDABLE TO COLOR Or, you can start with the superior vidicon film system expandable to color. Using the RCA TP15 universal multiplexer, color and monochrome film equipment can be completely integrated — by adding a TK-26 color film camera at any time. This new multiplexer accommodates up to four projector inputs, all of which are available to two film camera outputs. COLOR FILM SYSTEMS To go to color now, you can select from various equipment combinations which use the RCA TK-26 threevidicon film camera. In TV stations where superb picture quality and operational simplicity count, the TK-26 is the preferred system for color film programming. It has been selected after careful comparative evaluation with other systems and found to produce finer quality film pictures in both monochrome and color. Superior results are achieved at minimum cost with maximum operational simplicity. LIVE COLOR, TOO It is possible to use the RCA three-vidicon film system for pickup of opaques, live commercial products and demonstrations within a limited area. See your RCA Broadcast Representative for more details on Vidicon Film Systems. He will be glad to answer your questions. Let him help plan a film system that can start you on the road to the new and additional revenue that will come from color! NEW STANDARDS OF QUALITY The RCA Vidicon Film System has established a standard of film reproduction by which all other methods are judged. You can expect and get the highest quality reproduction, with protection against obsolescence for years to come. To give some idea of the wide range of system possibilities with RCA equipment we submit four diagrams, at right, from the very simplest equipment to a Dual Color Film System.
