Getting ready for the political conventions, RCA showed off a portable TV camera last week that NBC will use at Chicago and San Francisco. The operator aims the camera with one hand, checks the picture he is getting with a portable viewer held in the other (see cut). The 19-lb. “walkie-peepie,” which has a range of more than a mile, beams its signal to the convention hall control room where the image is retransmitted.
