TV
Camera > Introduction

Huge! Back in the 1940s, TV
cameras were monstrous. Even when
I went to school in the late 70s,
the lightest "portable"
camera/recorder was 40 pounds. Today:
Less than 1 pound.

This
is the most technical lesson in the entire course, but
don't be afraid--the material is actually quite straightforward.
In fact, this unit may provide answers to a lot of questions
you've always wondered about.
Although
we have engineers to do the heavy-duty technical work
in television--it's still very helpful to have a basic
understanding of how television cameras work. That's
the goal of this unit.
Although
it may not be immediately obvious, it's true that understanding
the technical nature of television can often help you
make better creative decisions.
