Marconi colour television camera

[firenzeprima]

I have scanned the pic from a magazine.
Experiments of television with the two tubes I attended in 1979 with the engineer Jaegher in Florenze, The camera using was a Hitachi 1000 FPC modified. Jaegher argued that the tube of the color blue was unnecessary, but nevertheless the results were not significant ....

and a few notes about the marconi:-

Use of two tubes, one normal resolution luminance and one for the two low definition colour signals. This used a grid giving a definition equivalent to 1.5Mc/s, half the normal definition. This makes use of the eyes inability to see the fine detail of colour.

General Description
Looks like a tall Mk2. It used two tubes. Some reports say there was no viewfinder fitted (3).
