A prototype 256-line, 2.8-ms field duration television camera was designed, built, and successfully field tested by the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL). It used an FPS vidicon tube to maintain good resolution while achieving the short field time. Additional features included 9.5 /µS ac¬tive line time out of 10 µs total, 10-V peak-to-peak video output into 50 Ω, a dynamic range between 64 and 128, and remotely resettable sweeps.nThis report includes details of design philosophy regarding the selection of the FPS vidicon, the parameters that affect the choice of the target material, the electronic design, and the calibration procedures.
