Picture Tube
• Sequential and Interlaced scanning: The division of picture into many horizontal lines called
scanning. Scanning can be compared with that of reading a page of a book. We start at the
top, read all the words in the first line from left to right, and then return rapidly to the left to
read the next line, and so on, until we reach the bottom line of the page. Similarly, a camera
tube scans the horizontal lines one by one.
• The television picture is scanned in a sequential series of horizontal lines, one under the
other as shown in figure. This scanning makes it possible for one video signal to include all
the elements for the entire picture. At one instant of time, the video signal can show only
one variation. In order to have one video signal for all the variations of light and shade, all the
picture details are scanned in a sequential order of time.
• The scanning makes reproduction of a television picture different from that of a photographic
print. In a photograph, the entire picture is reproduced at one time. In television, the picture
is reassembled line after line and frame after frame. This time factor explains why a television
picture can appear with the line structure form apart in diagonal segments and the
frames rolling up or down the screen.

DELTA-GUN COLOR PICTURE TUBE
• This tube was developed by Radio Corporation on
America (R.C.A). It employs three separate guns on
for each phosphor. The guns are equally spaced at
120 degree interval with respect to each other and
tilted inwards in relation to the axis of the tube. They
form an equilateral triangular configuration.
Drawbacks of the Delta-gun Tube
• Convergence is difficult and involves considerable
circuit complexity and service adjustments. In
most delta-gun tubes, four static convergence
magnets and a dynamic convergence assembly
are employed.
• The focus cannot be sharp over the entire screen
because the focus and convergence planes
cannot remain coincident for the three beams
which emanate from guns positioned at 120°
with respect to each other around the tube axis.
• The electron transparency of the mask is very low
since it intercepts over 80 percent of the beam
currents.

PRECISION-IN-LINE COLOR PICTURE
TUBE
• This tube as the name suggests has three guns which are
aligned precisely in a horizontal line. The gun and mask
structure of the P.I.L tube together with yoke mounting.
The inline gun configuration helps in simplifying
conversions adjustments. The color phosphors are
deposited on the screen in the form of vertical strips in
triads which are repeated along the breadth of the tube.
To obtain the same color, finest as in a delta gun tube the
horizontal spacing between the strips of the same color
in adjacent traids is made equal to that between the dots
of the same color in the delta gun tube.
Coma Effect
• Due to nonuniformity of the deflection field all the
beams are not deflected by the same amount. As
shown in Fig. the central beam (green) deflects
by a smaller amount as compared to the other
two beams.
• For a different nonuniformity of the deflection
field, the effect could be just opposite producing
too large a displacement of the central beam.
• Such a distortion is known as coma and results in
misconvergence of the beams.

Interleaving of the colour signal
• The TV Camera is just analogous to human eye. The basic principle of all TV
cameras is based on the fact the each picture of all TV Cameras is based on the
fact the each picture may be assumed to be composed of small elements with
different light intensity. The camera picks up each element and by transducing
action converts it into “electrical signal” proportional to its brightness there is a
photosensitive layer called target or image plate in each camera which performs
this job. At the same time simultaneous, pick up of this information is also
necessary for this purpose. There is an electron gun (which produces an electron
beam) which scans the image plate at a fast speed. Thus opto-electric conversion
as well as pick-up of the signal takes place simultaneously and at a fast speed.
• The image-orthicon, vidicon and plumbicon are some important electronic scan
camera tubes which find wide applications these days.
• It is a sensitive tube and is capable of handling a wide range of light values and
contrast. In a single envelope, it includes three sections:
• (a). Image Section: This section includes:
• 1. a photo sensitive surface, called photo cathode, operated at a very large
negative potential.
• 2. a target plate which is a thin plate of glass of low resistivity. Thickness is less
than 0.0002 in.
• 3. a screen located very close to target plate and has about 500,000 openings per
square inch.
• When the optical image is focused on the photo cathode, photoelectrons, in
proportion to the amount of light impinging, are emitted. Most of the
photoelectrons pass through the screen and hit the target plate.
