"FILM CENTRAL" for network operations. From this control room all the ABC film shows are fed to affiliates. How ABC-TV gets top picture quality for all its network film shows . . . . —Converts 100% to RCA Vidicon Film Camera Chains! "For the top quality we require in our network film shows we chose RCA Vidicon film equipment," says Frank Marx, Vice-President, Engineering. They were so satisfied with their quality network film purchase that they converted all their film equipment to RCA Vidicon ! Now they're piping the highest picture quality down their entire network line. Popular film shows like "Maverick" get the very best treatment, which pays off in viewers. ABC first made careful tests of competing equipment. RCA Vidicon film camera chains showed up in first place. Frank Marx summed it up like this, "In all our tests RCA Vidicon equipment proved best. We feel we moved miles ahead in film programming quality when we installed these modern Vidicon chains at all our stations." Their first two chains were delivered in October, 1954, for the Disneyland opening in New York. Other chains soon followed. Then, in December, 1957, they decided to go "all the way" at all their stations. Today, ABC-TV is 100% RCA Vidicon. The results speak for themselves.
