Abstract
The current television technical facilities of the Don Lee Broadcasting System in Los Angeles are briefly described. A mosaic type camera and accompanying Don Lee control equipment are used. A coaxial cable conveys the signal therefrom to the W6XAO sight-sound television transmitters, operating on daily schedule on 45 and 49.75 megacycles, respectively. The routine of production of a dramatic comedy serial entitled, “Vim Street,” in its forty-eighth biweekly episode at this writing, is utilized as an example. A tota1 time of twenty hours of one or more members of the dramatic unit is required to prepare and present one fifteen-minute episode. The sequence of production is as follows: preparation of script; construction or modification of props and scenery; cast memorization of lines; cast rehearsals; camera, sound, sound-effects, light rehearsal with production staff; make-up; the performance itself, including visual aural introduction of the act; the performance proper with overall supervision of lighting, microphone, and television adjustments by a television-producer at a distant receiver; closing announcement; written and verbal report of errors or advances in technic made during the performance. Specifications, for the: physical instrumentalities and the current television technic are covered for each of the above factors of production.
