A vidicon tube is a video camera tube design in which the target material is a photoconductor. The vidicon was developed in 1950 at RCA by P. K. Weimer, S. V. Forgue and R. R. Goodrich as a simple alternative to the structurally and electrically complex image orthicon.
The aims of the designers of the camera were, firstly, to produce a camera that was more tolerant to mis-registration and, secondly, to achieve a lighter camera by using smaller vidicon tubes to replace some of the large heavy IO tubes. The camera had an image orthicon tube for the luminance channel and three vidicon tubes for the colour channels.
This experimental camera had been inspired by RCA's new four tube camera, the TK-42, [26] and used the same tube arrangement, i.e. a 4 + 1 ⁄ 2-inch (110 mm) image Orthicon tube in the luminance channel and three 1-inch (25 mm) Vidicon tubes in the colour channels. In addition, the experimental camera had an integrally mounted Varotal III zoom ...
MegaVision was the first company to produce a digital camera back for sale, using a 4 megapixel vidicon tube behind a Cambo technical view camera. MegaVision has always produced the capture software that controls their camera hardware. MegaVision produced the first live focus video in a digital still camera porting video over twisted pair wires ...
In studio cameras, the camera electronics shrank, and CCD imagers replaced the pickup tubes. The thick multi-core cables connecting the camera head to the CCU were replaced in the late seventies with triax connections, a slender video cable that carried multiple video signals, intercom audio, and control circuits, and could be run for a mile or ...

[4] [5]Gelernter's extended visit to the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in 1960/61, while he was developing a prototype of his 'vidicon' (a system which dispensed with film, and used a television-camera tube to record a spark-chamber event and store ...
The actor is checking out something on his phone. Instead of Wesley just standing in the background, he decides to ham it up for the camera. Watch on to see what he does - it will totally crack ...
The Imaging Science Subsystem made up of a wide-angle and a narrow-angle camera is a modified version of the slow scan vidicon camera designs that were used in the earlier Mariner flights. The Imaging Science Subsystem consists of two television-type cameras, each with eight filters in a commandable filter wheel mounted in front of the vidicons.
