The RCA TV-Eye consists most importantly of a 4-lb camera developed by the RCA Laboratories Div. and expected to be commercially available in September. With a control box which brings the equipment's weight up to nearly 20 Ib, it operates on a closed circuit with a standard domestic receiver as monitor and is tied in to an otherwise unused channel, without interfering with reception on other channels. It is expected that this "private-line TV" will prove useful in schools, hospitals, prisons, stores, small factories and even in homes. It was demonstrated during the May Electronic Parts Show at the Conrad Hilton Hotel in Chicago by focusing the camera on a bulletin board at the central message center and showing the messages on a dozen receivers at exhibition points throughout the hotel.
