Setting them up is another matter. The early episodes of
"Barney Miller" provide a good example of poor setup, with
inconsistent color, and poor convergence.


Poor convergence? The mind boggles.


Oh, yes. The pickups had to be aligned. The "modern" system, in which
solid-state sensors are attached to a prism/beamsplitter was not
practical with vidicons and Plumbicons.


Registration on cameras. Convergence on monitors?

Did you have videcon colour cameras? First UK ones were plumbicon. Apart
from the ancient IO RCA ones used for tests.
