Single Gun Color CRT Indextron Video Projector Sony Vidimagic FP-62

These are suppose to be used with a special aluminized curved screen that came with it, otherwise it is not very bright at all on a white wall or screen, we sold these in the 80's, 2 models one with a beta player and the other model with just video in and I thought a tuner built in, sony had high end viewfinders for their Broadcast cameras based off of this design, ( a very expensive option for outdoor shooting ), very cool to play with and of course if focus is not set correctly you will get only a green picture. have fun with it!!

I'm assuming the aluminized screen is much like the early Sony Videoscope and the Advent Videobeam projectors?

The Sony Videoscope screen, Advent screen and the Kodak Ektalite screen have a forward gain of 13! The screen material is the backside of aluminum foil.

Hello,

what is a "forward gain of 13"?

Kind regards,

It means that if you view from directly in front of the screen, it is 13 times brighter than a flat painted white wall (diffuse or non-directional screen). But if you move off axis, it gets much dimmer than a non-directional screen.
