I would like to expand on a portion of my earlier comment:

"We touch and hold the LCD screen in the center of the video image and the camera reads the light of that point and locks the focus and exposure. It gives the best results."

This is the camera control panel on the iPad Pro 10.5

The left vertical scale is the optical zoom. The yellow box right of center is the auto override exposure setting that took this screenshot. I placed it there so the "sun" icon can be seen in this screenshot. You can see it is locked by the text above. We added the blue arrow to point out the "sun" icon. We can take this one step further. For instance, if we want the best skin tones, we would place the AE and AF box on the women's face. If we were not satisfied, we then place the finger on the "sun" control and a vertical scale appears, exposure up or down.

The camera is 4K ressoultion on video with optical steady shot. It's a crafty piece of engineering for such a tiny camera. How do I say this, the optical steady control actually floats like a gyroscope. It is not digital. Same thing for the optical zoom.

thanks

I'd be HAPPY if I could get my KV-7010U back from that yahoo in Ohio..

You've been bringing that up here for more than 7 years. Hasn't the statute of limitations run out already?

.

Odds are you'll never see that particular one again.
Wish I had one to offer ya....Someone here oughta try n find ya another one.

UPDATE, MARCH 1, 2020
Nine years, three months after my white KVX 370 was restored by Andy, its still going strong. Brief recap, (no pun intended) this particular set is well know for bad leaking “high quality” capacitors. Once the bad caps are excised, the set is very reliable. Almost 10 years after replacement with no problem is proof. The set was new in box when purchased. Today while operating, it has that “new electronics smell” which by the way, is not objectionable. We made this video to replace the two videos we made 2 years back. Those videos reflected my inexperience with my new Sony A6300 and displayed ugly frame bars traversing the screen. Thanks to Wayne B. who instructed me to set the shutter speed below the frame rate, 1/30 second on another screenshot project with my Westinghouse H840CK15, we now have a frame free video. FL: 42mm, SS: 1/20, Aperture: 20, ISO: 6400, WB: Daylight. Camera: A6300.

Collection of screenshots taken during the video. We used the same camera settings as the video. We want to dispel the notion that the Sony KVX 370 Indextron displays inferior images.

My Andy restored Indextron next to my Andy restored Sony KV-5000. He now has my 1989 Sony Mavica for a image chip transplant.

Looking good! ❤️

My KVX 370 was restored partially by me and then finished by Andy. He says that its
image quality is normal for them.

Its actually what I would call bad.

The background light (necessary for the switching to work) is too high.
It cannot produce bright red properly across the screen.

As long as one watches programs with no large bright red areas, it quite watchable.
But on test patterns its hopeless. I certainly can get an NBC peacock to look exactly
like your pictures ... but that's not what the same signal looks like on my Sony Bravia
or RCA CT-100, or a cheapie (Chinese) "RCA" NTSC/ATSC 3" portable, the
latter on its antenna.

Hi, new member here, I would like to join the Mini-Beam Index Club. Recently picked up an RCA CKC021 viewfinder from ebay. very impressed with it, amazing piece of tech. although mine seems to have a small tinge of red when displaying images with lots of blue.

Hi to all,

This week (Oct 11th 2021) a Sony XKV-55 Indextron "car TV" sold on E-Bay.
It was located in Australia.
TV was +/- recapped, produced a distorted white raster, no video.

Hoping that someone from this forum acquired it, will fix it and post Indextron photos sometime in the future.

3x photos from the E-Bay auction.

Best Regards

Here are my 2 x Indextron tv's that need to be repaired.
The blue on turns on with sound and tuner works but no picture.
