Gang,<BR><BR>I had the pleasure of cutting my 1V P-P "shadrack" teeth on RCA
TK-42s at WMVS-TV, Channel 10, at MATC in Milwaukee (Milwaukee Area Technical
College). I recall them being <U>monsters</U> to move around the studio, but
very simple to "shade". Granted, the talent could light cigarettes in mid-air
with all the 1k lamps we had going!<BR><BR>I also remember the red "ped up -
ped down" toggle switch on the pan/tilt handle. Those cameras were so heavy
they used a motor to perform the move. If I'm not mistaken, when they replaced
'em with lead counterbalanced Vinten peds they sent the old ones to the auto
repair side of MATC. They used 'em to build car hoists! ;-)<BR><BR>Best

<BLOCKQUOTE class=cite cite="" type="cite">Yes, it does look like everything
is clipped somewhat...although Walter in the studio shot doesn't look too
bad.<BR>IO cameras had a pretty forgiving knee themselves....no artificial
processing circuitry required. I don't really remember looking at a
grayscale chart on a TK-60 or 11, but I don't remember them having any real
problems with blacks....and we certainly weren't concerned with noise all
that much.<BR>I think the advent of color....the TK-41 and
later....plumbicon cameras, which had no real knee on their own, made
getting the proper exposure a little more universal.<BR>And Chris just
reminded me in his post that the early b/w IO cameras did not have iris
servos....so you had to light your scenes consistently and were stuck with
your initial f stop. I don't remember ever telling the camera operator
to "reach around and stop that thing down a little!". <BR>We did "ride
the gain" for minor corrections however, as Chris pointed
out.<BR>Guy<BR><BR>C. Park Seward wrote:<BR>

entire dub was overexposed or just recorded with the gain too high. Look
at the commercials and see how overexposed they look. You know the
