Setting them up is another matter. The early episodes of

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.


Local stations weren't immune, either. Some locally produced shows
in Dayton, ohio aired from poorly converged cameras in the '70s & '80s
