I got in to the biz in the TK-42/43 days and I don't remember them being RGB at that point. We had the simplest RCA TS-40 (?) switcher and it was just passable. We used to do shows mixing color and BW cameras. That was a sync nightmare. And then the small tube cameras began to show up. RCA TK-76, Ikegami HL-77, etc. with their single NTSC signal. Those were a dark art to set subcarrier and sync phase all hidden behind side panels and under the lid of a 3/4" tape deck or a TBC. And do it daily.
