* One of WABC Channel 7 New York's Ikegami HK-312C cameras, as of 1983, had similar artifacts, only magenta-ish; that was on a 1983 Eyewitness News opening teaser that has since been taken off YouTube.
OK, in all that smear, oversaturation, tape artifacts and MPEG artifacts, what emerald greenish artifact do you mean? Are you pointing out the forehead highlight that is clipping and turning greenish, or something else?
