Television Remote Operations
A. H. Brolly · Journal of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers · 1948
Remote operation implies the pickup of program matter outside the studio and station. Equipment and personnel in the field, in the station, and interconnecting are always involved in a “remote”. Field operations usually require two cameras, preferably employing image-orthicon tubes. Studio or film images and sound can be dubbed in between field sequences, a procedure useful for commercial announcements. A relay receiver, a picture switching or mixing device, monitors, oscillograph, and audio-control equipment are required at the station for such operation. These combined facilities provide unsurpassed program possibilities.
