Video camera
A camera which contains an electronic image sensor rather than photographic film. The lens focuses an image on an electronic tube or CCD chip. A camera has electronic circuitry which generates colour and sync pulses. Most portable consumer cameras are equipped with a full complement of audio circuitry, e.g., microphone, audio amplifier, and additional audio electronics. In order to obtain better quality images, a professional camera has three tubes or a triple CCD system, one for each basic color. Most professional cameras have a genlock input, which allows the camera to be synchronised to an external source. Some cameras also include basic character generators for titling purposes.
