Only 400 lines, a broadcast camera should resolve more then that 700 out of the CCU maybe?

@@Patrick_AUBRY Well viewed natively on a good screen, or on a good analog-to-digital converter inside a tv, it will look much better than a cheap digital transfer.

the problem at the time was analog transmission to the public...

I'm going to guess that it is the British PAL standard vs. USA NTSC. PAL was developed after NTSC, and has more scan lines, sharper picture. I remember visiting Britain in the old days of analog TV and noticed the TVs had a better quality picture than the USA.

Sony HDC-100, HDC-300, HDC-500, BTS KCH 1000 are also analog cameras with over 1000 lines. Additionally, there are Sony BVP-300, 330, 350, 360 tube cameras with more than 700 lines of resolution. Without listing other manufacturers. I believe that this camera is far from being the sharpest. Also, its registration cannot be compared to any of the mentioned cameras.

It's because, 400 lines , is 5Mhz of picture definition, which was the specification of the Pal transmission standard, so that's all it had to do . But I know what you mean about Sony cameras I have some late 3 tube ones and they will do 650 lines though the pal system connected direct to the monitor

Excellent, broadcast cameras , are a great, thing to collect

Thanks for the information , it's always interesting to find out where EMI 2005 cameras were used

Thanks, it is now on a proper Vinten tripod

@@vintagevideo4044 - mate - you have the camera ... the support looks OK - just dont point it left or you'll break the window ! ? Find one of these - www.smecc.org/vinten/fulmar.jpg You have a piece of broadcasting history, Mitch

There are slightly larger colour cameras, they were made in about 1967 and had 4 tubes inside, 3 for red, green and blue, and one more for the luminance image. EMI made one called the 2001and Marconi made the Mk7. Both are bigger than the 2005

Yes I have LDK14 and 54 and a 90

It's probably some of the capacitors, low in value, having said that, both the the Sony BVP330ap cameras have had nothing done, one had a dirty contact on a toggle switch, that stopped it turning on

I am a video engineer, maintaining all sorts of equipment. The camera channel came from a camera man, who had saved it and another, many years ago, and finally decided to find them a new home

I generally start, with the power supply and see how good some capacitors are , if ok then power everything up and then, sort out the faults which are present until, I get a good picture, which can take a lot of hours

@@vintagevideo4044 I take my hat off to you patients, outstanding work I love seeing those devices brought back to life , so you have any Link Electronics cameras

I am a video engineer. The Hop switch is for a latter type of plumbicon tube , that handles shiny things in the scene it's filming, a lot better, rather than tuning them into a bright blob, it shows the details better. The switch changes the way the circuit board scans the tube and if left in the wrong position can damage the tubes.

@@vintagevideo4044 I remember on early 1960's 70's American black and white television shows, if a woman was was wearing a sequined dress it created a lot of little flares when the studio lights hit them just right, and also stripes in men's ties or jackets used to cause weird strobing effects.i guess that was also an issue with 1970's color TV camera's back in the day. thank you for the explanation, love your awesome television camera collection BTW 😀

Most of the size is the lens. the smaller cameras normally sit in a frame to make them fit the lens and pedestal

An amateur comment there. Take a look at a Sony HDC-2500 or 3500. They aren’t very big. Those camera bodies get put into a “sled” so the camera op can use a 100x or more piece of glass. The sled also gives the camera op a bigger viewfinder and also power and connections for a teleprompter if needed.

The camera control unit, gives our a RGB signal, that and be fed into a colour monitor, or the traditional way to do it , is feed the RGB into a PAL coder ,and turn it into PAL coded video. I use a coder made by COX electronics. The only signal the CCU can have fed into it , is viewfinder external video , from another camera or pattern generator , and that must have the same sync timing as the camera is running on, or the picture on the viewfinder is in the wrong position. It really only has the connections that were required at that time.

The manuals are 4 large volumes, that would be to much to copy and even then I don't have everything that was published. I don't know where you are but there is a group that have set up a museum in the UK and they did offer to let me look at their manuals for them on site, but I managed to sort out all the faults, so did not take up their offer. But look at www.becg.tv

The main thing with camera picture quality, is how good are the pick up tubes, this camera has a very good set of tubes, so with careful set up, it can give a picture quality, that almost matches a DVD

Probably over £50k

@@vintagevideo4044 Right, so in 1970's money much more than an average home.

Yes, not many manufacturers ever published prices.

Yes, it's combined with the focus control and it has 6 zoom presets and zoom preset speed control and a zoom angle meter

It's a Marconi Mk5 picture and waveform monitor. It has a re gunned monitor tube, which was done many years ago and still as good as new

@@vintagevideo4044 We , in Manchester, used many Marconi Mk5 picture and waveform monitors .... ended up using Marconi Mk 9 cameras in all the studios.

The test chart is a Marconi Resolution Chart No 1 , and in this case also marked EEV, which is English Electric Valve, and used from about 1965 , all the early colour cameras in the UK and other countries , always stated the modulation depth at 400 lines , so a good 400 line performance is what they aimed for. 400 lines is 5MHz in vision bandwidth. The chart does go up to 800 lines, which was for some black and white cameras that could do more, so 800 lines is 10MHz , some of my late Sony 3 ccd standard definition 4/3 cameras will just about do 700 lines on the chart

I have no 2001 cameras yet, but am looking for one, to restore

Hi. I know someone who owns a number of 2001s and would be keen to make contact - is there a way for him to drop you a line?@@vintagevideo4044

Not at the moment, but hopefully I will, one day

Yes it is , about half of the circuit boards are the same or very similar

Sadly not

There is one of these for sale , it's expensive, if you are interested then, send me a message on vintagevideo82@gmail.com

Please note, the 2005 camera is now sold to another collector

Hello, did you advertise the sale? - I enquired about this four months ago - will you be able to let me know about items in the future for sale?@@vintagevideo4044

how much did it go for?@@vintagevideo4044

Not on the UK, that's how we spell it
