...Navy will get a chance to test its high-flying Banshee fighter against the Air Force's B-36 after all-but not in precisely the way rebellious Navy airmen had hoped. Instead of fighting it out with camera guns at 40,000 feet, they will have to leave the decision up to the 18,000 vacuum tubes of the Army's $400,000 electronic brain at the Aberdeen (Md.) Proving Ground...
Color with Fields, In the CBS color system (called "field sequential"), the transmitting camera, like the ordinary black & white camera, has a single Image Orthicon "seeing" tube. In front of it is a spinning disc with segments of blue, green and red transparent plastic. When a blue segment is in front of the tube, the camera sees only the blue light coming from the scene being televised. When the disc has turned a little, putting a red segment in front of the tube, the camera sees only the scene's red light. Next, it sees green through a green...
Color with Dots. RCA's system, called "dot interlacing," is entirely electronic, needs no spinning disc. In the transmitting camera are three tubes. In front of them is a system of "dichroic mirrors" (see below) which allow each tube to "see" in one color only. All three tubes scan the scene continuously, but an electronic switching device, turning their signals on & off 11.4 million times a second, allows each tube to transmit over the telecasting station only one-third of the time. In this way the "video signals" from all three tubes are strung together like trains made...
Everyone has not been so unaware of the coming of the great composer. A few weeks later, one of his students appeared in class with a movie camera and proceeded to film the lecture. There is a reason for such mechanized awe. Aside from his fame as a composer, Hindemith is probably the most gifted of music teachers, and it was indeed a coup when the creator of "Mathis der Maler" took a leave from Yale to teach and give the Norton lectures here...
...studio to be signed by Producer Dore Schary-stacks up well against such recent combat films as Task Force and Command Decision; nonetheless such a wartime documentary as San Pietro makes it seem like a put-up job. Rarely catching the quick fury of infantry fighting, the camera shots are mostly the comfortable, carefully composed setups that are possible in a studio production, but in actual warfare would mean a quick death for the cameraman. Neatest trick: in most of the snowstorm scenes the snow sticks to everything but the G.I.s...
