- Abstract
- Many user specifications start by defining the ideal camera with such phrases as, the ideal camera would have no camera cable, however in practice the studio camera requires power for a camera headlight, and possibly three phase for the camera dolly. It should be of the lightest practical weight consistent with cost and strength, but must be equipped with entensive operational facilities and communications, and in remote pickup applications must be capable of operation with thick gloves.

Henk Blom was born in 1936, and finished his studies at the Delft Technical University in 1966. He joined Philips in that year, where he worked in professional audio tape recording. Since 1968 he has been in the Professional Video Equipment division designing studio color television cameras.E. TienkampN. V. Philips Gloeilampenfabrieken, the Netherlandsbio
Engbert Tienkamp was born in Kuiure the Netherlands, and received a teaching degree in physics and chemistry at the University of Groningen. He joined N. V. Philips Gloeilampenfabrieken in 1962 where he became involved in the environmental protection of industrial television equipment. Since 1964, he has been with the professional television division responsible for the design of the optical and colorimetric aspects of color television equipment. The current emphasis of his work is in optics and software system design. - Copyright
