In the late 1960s Ampex made a two tube color camera, one tube for Y and the other for R,B but with a dichroic color wheel spinning in front of it. I saw these cameras used by ABC for the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble, France. The pictures were really good when the subject was stationary,but a skier dressed in bright red or blue passing by really fast blurred badly and the color broke up worse. Great interview cameras and good for long shots of the slopes and green trees but not for following a race. Cliff
