Ingenious construction it is hard to believed there are three tubes in there. The alloy machined case is a work of art, I have an AGEMA 550 Stirling cooled Thermal camera of this era and it is built like a tank, the colour viewfinder is a crt and the resolution is incredible it is less than a inch diagonal and a joy to see. Keep posting.

Sophisticated Enough to be that Analogue.

I was one of the cameramen st BBC Tel OB’s operating this very camera. Still remember the bruised shoulder due to the flat base. We had at least 10 of them.

Nice to see an LDK14 still operating (and in good hands!) BTW, LDK stands for "Loverly Dutch Kamera", so I'm told.

Perhaps one of the more notable events this camera can be seen covering is on the stage at Live Aid in 1985 trying to keep up with Freddie Mercury...

Interesting. Thanks for sharing

Interesting that it had auto-cent as early as 1977. The Sony and Ikegami camera of the time didn't have auto cent. I believe it was the Sony DXC-M3 that had auto-cent in 1983-1984. What's the lens mount? B3? Looks like a Canon lens

That was Philip's first all in one, portable camera, with auto centering, it tells to work better, if all there tubes are like new, with a high output. Yes the lens is Canon, but uses a special Philips mount and connection plug, only for Philips cameras

Where was that 2005 from, BBC Manchester Studio or Bredon Wing at BBC Training Wood Norton?

They were also used at several BBC regional studios as well and this was one of them

I know it sounds rather ridiculous but imagine trying to use that as a security camera🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Would be lovely to see some direct capture from this and your EMI. Pointing a camera at a screen really doesn't do it justice.
@vintagevideo4044Ай бұрын
I have done direct capture, but standard definition, always looks poor on colour and general sharpness. High Definition always works well

@@vintagevideo4044 You may find modern scalers like the Retrotink do a better job. Domestic capture cards are generally rubbish and it's better to use a converter/scaler then capture that as HDMI.
