	Method for extending cathode life in vidicon tubes - Patent 4018489
		By heating as many of the electrodes as possible in a vidicon tube during and after the cathode activation, the potentiality for gas contamination of the electrodes is greatly reduced and the life of the tube is extended.
		The cathode life in vidicon tubes may be extended by heating at least some of the electrodes in the vidicon during and after the cathode activation.
		In this case, the heater 26 cannot be employed to heat all of the electrodes in the tube satisfactorily, since the heat from the electrodes close to the target might cause the seal to melt.

		In vidicon tubes, the target automatically integrates the signal for 16.7 msec at standard scanning rates.
		Refers to the standard, or sulfide, vidicon tube, rather than to a family of vidicon-type camera tubes.
		Using antimony trisulfide as the photoconductive element in the target, the Vidicon has a relatively low sensitivity and high dark current, but high resolution, AGC compatibility, and low gamma.

	Video camera tube - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A vidicon tube (sometimes called a hivicon tube) is a video camera tube in which the target material is made of antimony trisulfide (Sb
		The vidicon is a storage-type camera tube in which a charge-density pattern is formed by the imaged scene radiation on a photoconductive surface which is then scanned by a beam of low-velocity electrons.
		Pyroelectric photocathodes can be used to produce a vidicon sensitive over a broad portion of the infrared spectrum.

	Closed-circuit TV components
		Vidicon cameras used to be the most commonly used type.
		The vidicon is susceptible to damage from very bright lights and therefore cannot be used in outdoor locations.
		It is recommended that all lenses be equipped with an automatic iris, except for those on vidicon cameras (which are used in indoor locations with a more or less constant light level).

		As the SEC Vidicon face plate was opaque to UV light the front of the camera had a "proximity focussed" UV-to-visible converter (UVC) with a caesium telluride photocathode.
		This usually had 5 kV across it to generate the blue photons for the SEC Vidicon.
		The second part was the electrostatically focussed image section of the camera where the image was integrated.

		In a vidicon tube system, a television camera is fitted with a vidicon tube, which is sensitive to infrared radiation.
		Filters can be placed in front of the imaged area to remove the visible radiation in order to reduce the resolution of the vidicon tube system [9].
		Also, as the tube causes thermal noise as it heats up, and the system can only be operated for periods of about an hour at a time [3].

		With the introduction of the small Vidicon tube, the consumer market was a new target for the industry.
		To overcome this the Vidicon tube was developed in 1950, there was no need to be superior to the Image orthicon, but to produce camera tubes in a more economic way.
		Vidicon tubes were used until 1970 when the first solid state CCD camera came on the market.

	Saint Vidicon - Patron Saint of High Tech
		We do not know whether Vidicon was the name given him by his parents or a nickname given him reflecting his love of all things technical.
		In response to this threat, Pope Clement determined to go on the air in a simultaneous world-wide feed to call the faithful together to combat this horror and to let them know that the Council of Cardinals had chosen to accept certain new theories and interpretations as being compatible with doctrine.
		But, over the years the engineers and programmers and technicians began to count the prayers and the programs and projects saved and word got around and finally, Vidicon was declared a saint in the finest tradition of sainthood.

		Here is an example of one of the earliest vidicon cameras to hit the open market.
		This camera is all vacuum tube in design, incorporating an RCA 6198 [VIDICON TUBE] for image pick up and a 3RP4 cathode ray tube for a viewfinder.
		This small number of active components had to regulate tube bias voltages, regulate the vidicon focus coil current, drive the magnetic deflection of the vidicon, drive the electrostatic deflection of the CRT, amplify the video, and drive this video down a coax.
