A vidicon tube is a video camera tube design in which the target material is a photoconductor. The Vidicon was developed in the 1950s at RCA by P. K. Weimer, S. V. Forgue and R. R. Goodrich as a simple alternative to the structurally and electrically complex Image Orthicon.While the initial photoconductor used was selenium, other targets-including silicon diode arrays-have been used.
Schematic of vidicon tube.
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. The fluctuating voltage coupled out to a video amplifier can be used to reproduce the scene being imaged. The electrical charge produced by an image will remain in the face plate until it is scanned or until the charge dissipates. Pyroelectric photocathodes can be used to produce a vidicon sensitive over a broad portion of the infrared spectrum.
Prior to the design and construction of the Galileo probe to Jupiter in the late 1970s to early 1980s, NASA used Vidicon cameras on most of their unmanned deep space probes equipped with the remote sensing ability

What type of camera did James Van Der Zee use?
Always bear in mind that most working professionals use more than one camera, and always remember that it's not the camera - it's the mind and eye behind it. That said, the only camera mentioned in any online biography of James Van Der Zee is a Calumet box camera that he apparently used in the 1960's and began using again shortly before his death in May, 1983. I can't find any information on that specific camera, although Calumet Photographic is still very much in business. Today they're a general photographic supplier.Please see the biography at the Related Link below.
What is a vidicon camera tube?
vidicon is a storage type camera which converts light into pixel data
Explain working of the vidicon camera tube?
The electrical charge produced by an image taken by a Vidicon Camera tube will remain in the face plate until it is scanned or until the charge dissipates. The target material is made of antimony trisulfide.

When was Behind the Camera created?
Behind the Camera was created in 1971.
Why did Apollo 12 plan fall through to broadcast color TV?
Human error on the part of LMP Al Bean. When moving the camera into position he accidentally pointed the lens directly at the sun. Because the camera had no lens cap, the direct, intense sunlight burned out the camera's vidicon tubes, rendering the camera inoperable.
Why didn't Apollo 12 broadcast from the moon?
They did broadcast audio, but they were unable to broadcast television because, while moving the T.V. camera into position, LMP Alan Bean accidentally pointed the camera lens directly at the unfiltered sun, burning out the vidicon tubes inside the instrument.

To tell if your camera is working go onto accesories settings in the settings panel, select 'Camera Device Settings' and if your camera is working a red light will come on and you should see the room that the camera is in. If not then it could be a fault with the camera or you haven't plugged it in(blue light will be lit if camera is powered up).
