What did broadcast color television look like in 1954 through 1957?
I suspect that today's modern color HD broadcast equipment, cameras etc. broadcasting today's OTA signals down converted to analogue and viewed on a properly adjusted CT 100, 21CT55, CTC4, CTC5, etc. will look much better then the original broadcasts back in 1954 to 1957 or longer. Am I wrong?
I was a bit too young (9) to have a vivid memory, but I remember seeing my first color cast about 1956. I remember, green tinted somewhat fuzzy, dim images. I think only the engineers and television technicians knew how to properly set up a color set back in those days. I know they were difficult to adjust and most people used rabbit ear antennas. You had to get the antenna just right, then fine tune and most folks over saturated the color control. The average Joe was probably perplexed and had to call a repairman a lot.
I do not know a thing about the original color cameras and their capabilities. So what did the original color casts look like starting in 1954?
