The studio lighting, unless dc driven, neads to have the same

Must make location shooting with battery cameras impossible. ;-)


It shows taht you were only ever involved with sound.


But closely involved with actual shooting. My guess is you weren't?

When TV came off mains lock, it would have then been kept to an extremely
accurate 50 Hz (or whatever). Mains can vary quite some way either side.



Not by a lot, take a look at this item.
