Tv cameras with tubes - last used, last produced
When when the last proffesional videocameras with tubes where produced?
When when the last proffesional videocameras with tubes where used in the country where you live? |
Do you mean no transistors, or transistorized with Plumbicon pickup tubes?

Tranzsitorized with plumbicon or saticon tubes.
But you made me curios about the others too. |
It's quite a hard question to answer. a contender might be the Bosch KCH1000 camera introduced in 1986. The middle/late 1980s was a crossover time for tubes v CCD and at that point tubes offered a better resolution than CCD could do, hence the tubed "HD" KCH1000 camera.

The ones used in the US HDTV tests were branded BTS. The two special models they designed for the Zenith / AT&T progressive scan system cost $800,000 each. [not a typo - eight hundred thousand]. |
Sheesh, you have had to be a station very on top to afford a camera that costed like that. More then 1,000,000 U.S. Dollars in today's money. And you didn't need just one camera, you needed to. With the price of 2 cameras you could get the S.D. equypment of one studio.

It could also be worth to take a closer look at the Japanese manufacturers. I'm aware of an OBV with a set of Sony BVP-360 and its handheld companion that went into operation in 1986. And when last used: At Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk at least one OBV with Bosch KCU 40 cameras remained in service until 1994 (or 1993/1995). About the same time horizon applies to the use of Soviet KT-132 by German production companies. Norddeutscher Rundfunk still used Philips LDK-6 on a significant political event in 1998. |
