Random question but does 240 lines use progressive scan rather than 405 interlaced?

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.

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
@vintagevideo4044Ай бұрын
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
How did you bet more than 1 channel on the tv? From what i know, BBC (later BBC 1) was the only channel then. Did you retune it throughout the years?
@vintagevideo4044Ай бұрын
I use a digital converter, you put standard 625 line video and sound in ,it converts it to 405 line or 240 line and also the original frequency of the aerial signal, so it plugs into the original aerial socket and no retuning is required

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
