This article is about a piece of equipment. For more information on what it is for or how to use it, try its documents wiki article.

Used from before 1992- approx 1996.

The KY-1900 in use for camera training in 1993

3 tube camera, assumed to be an excellent bit of kit in it's day - we used it after this period!

White balance and genlock for this camera usually took time up to and including the first 5 minutes of any programme.

It's bright orange body can be spotted in many photos of the time.


I remember it being 'fixed' at one point by adjusting a tube with cardboard between it and adjacent circuit board. AdamBaxter 10:56, 4 June 2007 (BST)

I remember being told that by 1999 it was known as the "brick" and was eventually given to drama soc as a prop as it no longer gave out a picture! Jonathan 21:25, 5 June 2007 (BST)
