50 Years Ago Tonight!

The Beatles, live on ‘Ed Sullivan’ from The Deuville Hotel in Miami Beach. Thanks to Gay Linvill, here is a brand new photo…one I had never seen until today. This is the first time ever that the CBS/Ikegami hand held prototype ENG camera had been used on an entertainment show. Notice the CBS logos are on pieces of cardboard attached to the side of the cameras…it is covering the large and unique WTVJ camera art. On the camera on the left, you can see the WTVJ call letters on the viewfinder through the paper covering it.

    I have a photo of when the boys met Muhamed Ali/Casious Clay for a press photo op at a gym in MIami Beach on this trip.

    Here is the regular look of the WTVJ TK30s used at the show that night. Notice also that the regular round focus knob on the side has been removed and they are using TK41 pan handle focus controls.
