Saw that a while ago, excellent video, gotta love those early plumbicon colour tones . DDQ-10 located in Toowoomba, QLD, Australia are one of few Aussie stations to purchase Japanese Ikegami TK-301A colour cameras for their studios on the switchover to colour in 1974. WIN-4 Wollongong (where I live) was one of the other stations that used the same cameras.

B.t.w., now I realized that QLD is the abreviation for the stae of Qeensland.
I was surpsrised to find out that they have telecinema machines (those machines that are converting film images into electronic signals) with C.C.D. in 1982. I thought the C.C.D. was invented in the '80's, but it was invented in 1969.
That tv station had any equypment Made in Australia?

In terms of cameras no, as for other equipment, not so sure. Australian electronic companies generally did not made television broadcast gear, most broadcast gear was imported from all over the globe from UK, USA, Germany, Japan etc... I know that there was one Aussie company that did make broacast grade 1" B&W vidicon cameras in the early 70s for the late bloomer TV stations and AWA made transmitting gear for TV stations but generally there was very little Australian made TV broadcast gear as far as I know.

Yes, made by industrial giants who could afford to specialize in complex low-production-run products -- a risky business. When times would get tough or other divisions of these companies suffered (consumer electronics) , they would fold up or go bankrupt (Ampex, RCA), wind down (Marconi, Philips/Bosch), stubbornly bleed money for a decade (Sony)

One outstanding exception to the above is Ikegami , a small company with very narrow product line that looks like it will outlive them all! Takes shrewd nimble business management for them to pull this off.

What Really Counts

The transmitter site! I'm curious as to why they didn't mention the transmitter site, powers, height, etc...

In fact, this is rarely mentioned outside of North America...
