The elusive Indextron

Hi to All,

To Dinkar, will send the CKC-021 color VF data ASAP.

New photo uploads:

The now recapped 1968 Sony KV-7010U operating properly:

Some screen shots of the RCA CC-030 Beam-Index color viewfinder. I have a new camera with Macro-Zoom function and at least this one will focus on the tiny 1.5" screen. John FolsomJr still makes the best screen shots, but i am learning...

And last, but not least, TRUE SCREEN SHOTS of the Sony XEL-1, the first consumer OLED TV - Remember! you saw it FIRST on VK!

Tech notes:
The European version of the XEL-1 has an all band/all Euro formats analogue & digital reception capabilities, SD & HD.

In analogue: PAL B/G-i-K... & French SECAM L
In digital: DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial)
- MPEG-2 in SD, 625/50
- MPEG-4 in HD, 1080i (OTA in France) & 1080p.

No analogue input available, only 2x HDMI.

The screen being an 11" diagonal 16:9 format, it does not have full 1920 x1080 resolution but a native resolution of 960 x 540 pixels. Still, subjectively, the resolution, contrast, color, dynamic range and total absence of angular directivity is absolutely jaw-dropping.

The pictures are genuine unretouched photos, other than resizing to 800x600 from the original 4000x3000 shots.

OLEDs seem to be way to the future - i just hope the blue phosphor holds up in time, short blue life is/was the plague of early OLED technology.
