Description: | EMI 2001 television camera. Developed by EMI in the late 1960s and using the Philips Plumbicon camera tubes, this was the most successful colour television camera ever made. The first EMI 2001 colour TV cameras were delivered to the BBC in 1968. 23 years later they made their last programme, only replaced because the mechanism in the zoom lenses had worn out. This particular EMI 2001 camera was last used on the BBC soap opera 'Eastenders' and has metal panel on side with cast list, dated 15 May 1991. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | television camera | Temporal: | c. 1969 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | Electric and Musical Industries Limited | Identifier: | http://collectionsonline.nmsi.ac.uk/grab... | Go to resource |
