Field Sequential Color CCU: A "colorist" would

are performed automatically. |

Field Sequential Color Camera: You can see
the color wheel just behind the lens turret. This system failed for its
lack of compatability with existing B/W TV. |

Field Sequential Color Studio: Ed Sullivan
is in this picture from 1951. |
 |
Field Sequential Color Wheel: The CBS system
transmitted a 405 line video signal at 144 fields per second. This made
it easy to transmit film's 24 frames per second. Note the clever way the
filter disks could be stopped for B/W reception. |
