Haunting of the CTC-5
Late on October 31st, the barely sensible glow of ancient vacuum tubes draws the cold specters of long-forgotten viewers to coalesce around a ghostly image presented in (Un-) Living Color.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! |

Of course, at some time you will have to tell us how you pulled off this amazingly spooky effect!

I like the NBC peacock picture, reminds me of a 1959 spoof RCA color tv ad in Mad magazine. I'll save that for a future post of my early color set(s).

The answers to these mysteries are open only the ancient ones steeped in the lore of both NTSC and Photoshop. ;>)

The image on the screen is real, not Photoshopped. Right?
Proof that a 1956 color television set could display a better picture than what was sent to it back then. Right?.. |

Also, the over-all picture involves three exposures, one with room lights off to eliminate reflections in the screen, a second one with room lights on and no folding chair, and a third one with room lights on and the folding chair in place, so the chair can be made to look partly transparent and ghostly like the skeletons. |

Yes, its absolutely true that the picture on an old color TV can look better than on even a CT-100 or 21CT55 back in the day, in the RCA labs in NJ, connected
to an antenna with a really clear view of the Empire State building. This is because silicon chip cameras are so much better than even the best adjusted image orthicon looking at a daytime scene such as a baseball game. But other than that, if they had a modern camera, the image on a set, with all the set's adjustments done correctly (81 for a CT-100), all the adjustments in the transmitter (with a modern camera directed to the transmitter itself) would likely look just as good as what I see on my own set. On recent dry days, with the line voltage running 117 volts, my CT-100 has been making great picture, with really near perfect convergence, and obly a bit of purity problem which is visible only on a B&W picture. The set at the ETF has on occasion been as good for everything except convergence. But one thing is true of my CT-100: its ATSC ... "Always the Same Color", not dependant on humidity (which is the source of convergence errors.) Doug McDonald |

I'm disappointed no one has mentioned the blue banana.
Pay attention, or the ghosts of TV past will haunt you until you do! |
