Abstract: A portable, wireless NTSC color camera suitable for field or studio operation incorporates a digital, remote-control system capable of controlling all the normal functions of up to six color cameras over either a wireless link or a single conductor coaxial cable. Functions such as beam, focus, centering, gain, pedestal and encoder quadrature phase check can be operated from a remote location thus making it possible for a single control console to register, set up and operate a number of cameras. The use of NTSC transmission from the camera greatly increases the operational flexibility of the system while the digital command of the camera-sync generator permits the cameras to be fully color-locked to the base station. The availability of a direct NTSC signal from the backpack makes it possible to use the camera with a portable tape recorder or standard color monitor without additional signal processing.
