GE, Second Prototype Color Test, Field Sequential

GE, Second Prototype Color Test

The camera closest to us, with the operator standing, is a GE color camera prototype, using the CBS developed field sequential – color wheel system that could be added to image orthicon monochrome cameras. The far camera is a regular B/W GE camera. This photo is from around 1956 or 57 and predates the first color camera from GE, the PC 15. In this test they were comparing the color resolution against the B/W camera resolution on B/W monitors to make sure the signal was acceptable on non color home receivers.
