Television technology

Dalmo-Victor is a technological empire.

Ampex, which is a spin-off of the Dalmo-Victor company, is known around the world as an iconic and famous technological innovator.

Quadruplex videotape is the first practical and commercially successful videotape format, whereas the Ampex VRX-1000 is the first commercially successful videotape recorder.

Television programming, which is being recorded on tape, provides more schedule flexibility, but also attracts famous celebrities untied to live broadcasts.

Kinescope is the process used to film the television screen, but it is cumbersome and expensive; both quadruplex and the Ampex VRX-1000 are solutions to these limitations.

With both quadruplex and the Ampex VRX-1000, television quality improved.

For Type C videotape, it is smaller, easier to operate and provides slightly higher video quality than quadruplex.

Plus, Type C performs functions that quadruplex has not, like still and slow-motion playback.

EIAJ-1 is the first standarized concept for industrial/non-broadcast video tape recorders using a helical scan system employing open reel tape.

CV-2000 is one of the first video tape recorders for home use and the first fully transistorized VCR.

Trinitron is the brand name for Sony's system of television sets.

Some of the notable innovations for Sony's Trinitron system of television sets include vertical bars, one electron gun, an aperture grille and a flatter screen surface in design.

With these innovations, Trinition is an advancement in colour television technology.

Before Sony's Trinitron system, early television sets featured dots, three electron guns, a curved screen surface in design and a shadow mask; these resulted in a dimmed and grainy picture quality.

However, with Sony's Trinitron system, television sets have found solutions to these issues.

FD Trinitron/WEGA is Sony's flat incarnation of this Trinitron system, which featured a flatter screen surface and further improvements to the electron gun, the aperture grille and the deflection yoke.

The Ikegami HL-33 is the first compact hand-held colour video camera being utilized for the electronic news gathering business.

Before ENG, film was the primary medium for recording and broadcasting news footage.
