Harpenden 27/9/15

[ppppenguin]

There will be a special exhibit at Harpenden, a Philips LDK5 colour TV camera, fully working. Brought along by Brian Summers (aka Beamcurrent in various forums). You may remember he demonstrated a much earlier camera last year. The LDK5 is hardly new, it was introduced c1978 and was especially great for outside broadcasts. The secret? It was the first camera to use Tri-ax camera cable instead of multicore monstrous stuff.
