About Vidicon

Vidicon Limited was a British electronics company specializing in television camera tubes and associated products. Established in 1925, the company gained prominence as a pioneer in television technology during the mid-20th century. It is particularly recognized for developing one of the first practical all-electronic color television systems, known as the Emitron system, which contributed significantly to the development of color broadcasting. Over the years, Vidicon expanded its product range to include monochrome video cameras, studio equipment, and other electronics components, catering to various industries including broadcasting, scientific research, and defense. The company was eventually acquired by Thomson-CSF in 1985, but its legacy continues to influence the development of television technology.
