Interesting. That may be the oldest medical telecast in NTSC I've seen pictures of. I remember reading the account of someone who worked for them saying the pre-NTSC field sequential equipment remained in service until 1958.

Interesting that they just attached a mirror to an OR light to get the overhead view. Looks very last-minute ad hoc.
I wonder if they reversed the scan in the camera to get the handedness correct. In a way, the switch to NTSC was a step backwards for this closed-circuit use because the color resolution was so much poorer than the CBS system. The bulk of the three tube camera was not an advantage either. |

On the other hand, this is a closed circuit set up which would have meant channel bandwidth would not be restricted. And the new tricolor CRTs under development by both CBS and RCA could have been used. |

In closed-circuit medical use, the deficiency in the field sequential vertical resolution due to the reduced number of scan lines could be compensated by zooming in when necessary. |

By the way, the use of shadow mask CRTs for a field sequential system was a bit of a pipe dream, as it would reduce picture brightness by two thirds.
