"RIESDAY. MAY 1. 1956 University TV System Installs Two Cameras, New Control Equipment A few more steps towards attaining more professional closed-circuit television facilities have been taken with the installation of two new cameras and control equipment in the Sparks TV system. The equipment went into operation yesterday. It, was was installed by student engineers and staff members of the project Saturday. Many features of the cameras, which are primarily for educa tional and instructional uses in colleges and universities, were de veloped from suggestions of the University's television research staff. The cameras were built by the Dage Division of Thompson Products. Inc., whose engineers supervised the installation. "Although the principle ad vantages of _the new equipment are increased flexibility and reliability of operation, some improvement in - picture quality can be expected when the stu dent operators learn to handle the new equipment success fully." L. P. Greenhill. associate director of the project, said. A new method of distribution where signals will be sent direct ly to each viewing room indi vidually instead of in one con tiuous circuit is under develop ment to further improve the quality of the pictures. The present TV picture, how ever, has limited room for im provement because the standard receiver is unable to show as high a quality a picture as the new camera can produce, James Ra leigh, student engineer, said. The new cameras are some what larger and can be more easily focused than the old ones. Each is equipped with four lenses that can readily be inter changed- Consul mounted equipment and individual moni tors for each camera were in stalled in the control room. The purpose of the changeover is to develop the best possible TV presentation with a reason able cost outlay, Greenhill said. The cost of the equipment in use is one-fourth that of standard equipment in commercial studios.
