Comparison. The real test. When you
have to make a choice between two
superb competitors, it usually comes
down to a shoot -out -a side -by -side
objective comparison of those
features and capabilities
that mean the
most to you.
Harris
has
made a
substantial
investment in the
TC -90S- because we
knew that we could design
and manufacture an American camera
with features that would make it the
new industry standard. We wouldn't
make this offer unless we were sure
we had succeeded.
So look over these TC -90S
features and read our offer. Then, if
you want a shoot -out, let us know.
We're ready.
The Facts
Colorimetry
Mixed -field LOC, half -inch diode gun
tubes, and an advanced new beam
splitter provide winning colorimetry
and better registration than larger
tubes.
Smart Package"
Exclusive microprocessor time code
generation lets you record SMPTE
and VITC time code as you shoot, so
editing hassles disappear. Automatic
encoder balance, auto registration,
diagnostics and camera status (in
English) keep your camera out of the
shop and in the field where it belongs.
® Automatics
Auto registration
Auto beam control
Auto encoder balance
Auto iris
Auto white balance
Auto black balance
Auto scan failure protection
Gain Tracking
The TC -90S maintains black level
under all conditions to eliminate color
shift, even with changes in gain.
® Noise
Minimal apparent noise at + 18 dB
gain for superb low light level
performance.
Weight
The TC -90S, with standard lens and
battery, and including the viewfinder,
weighs less than the HL -79, similarly
equipped. No more "sagging
shoulder" feeling, and your pictures
will show it.
Profile
You can see to the right! Even when
you're shooting, you have an unob-
structed view to the right over
the top of the camera.

TC-90S
The Challenge
The details of the shoot -out are
simple: We must have on file the
coupon below filled out by the camera -
person at your facility, and a letter
signed by your chief engineer or
general manager on your organiza-
tion's letterhead, requesting the
shoot -out and stating that you are in
the market for a new ENG camera.
Then, if your current model Ikegami
HL -79 (or an HL -79 you secure for the
shoot -out) meets all, and exceeds one
or more, of the TC -90S features given
above, we'll leave without our
camera -it's all yours.
There's More
To those of you who believe that
time is the true test of a product, we'll
make another offer: Forget about fill-
ing out coupons and writing letters -
call us today and order a TC -90S.
Then use it in the field for 30 days. If
it doesn't live up to our specifications,
we'll refund your money.
Either way, the TC-90S is a winner.
In a shoot-out, or on your shoulder.
OK Harris, prove it!
