Tesla TKP 308 TV camera

This TV camera is the succesor of the TKP306 camera which you can see on the camera stand. It is clear that it is much smaller and lighter. Plumbicon tubes with 18 mm diameter are used to scan the image. The camera outperformed the Western cameras in several aspects, but the Czechoslovak Television preferred the more attractive Western manufacturers. Only ten cameras were produced. In 1988, a similarly looking camera with CCD semiconductor image sensors was produced. After the political changes of 1989, the interest of the Czechoslovak Television in domestic products completely vanished and the domestic TV technology industry came to an end.
