C2400 and C2741 seem generally compatible.

Tube

The one C2400 camera I have has a "Vidicon camera fitted with an N2606-10 or N214 lead sulphide tube."

Potential IR vidicon tubes:

• Matsushita 25PE14
• Mullard XQ1443
  • NEWVICON® television camera tube with a photoconductive target composed of cadmium and zinc tellurides featuring high resolution and an extremely high sensitivity extending into the near infrared region

C790 X-Ray camera

moved from https://nucwiki.org/wiki/index.php/Hamamatsu_C790

mcmaster: got "X-RAY TV CAMERA" off of eBay missing cable. Both the camera and controller are marked C790-10 Was able to source something close to the needed CMC connectors and was able to retool for the proper cable. Now need to wire between them so I can boot the unit

Some relationship to Softex. Maybe they are used in Softex machines?

All wires on connector are used (at least on camera side).

Japan imports DDK JMSP2528 connector 025-028 silver-plated 28 core aviation plug 4 thick needle 24 thin needle

"Hamamatsu Softex X-Ray TV Camera controller C3205": seems to use the same connector

"Hamamatsu C6086 X-Ray Camera Controller": for CCD I think, not compatible

Camera

Appears to be vidicon? Hard to see...in a black sub-enclosure. Enclosure is marked

YOKE ASSEMBLY XVC-492E HC-01 CHUOMUSEN CO., LTD. MADE IN JAPAN 378024

Boards:

• OXVPOI-2 PRE AMP
• OXPPOI-2 HV-POWER
• OXVPO2-2 DEF FOCUS

Maybe 22 or 24 AWG on connector. Power pins don't appear to use a larger gauge than the rest.

Summary

-Composite capture working okay

-Pre-amp currently in iffy causes flicker

originally in "bad"

-Both C2741-03 tubes are slow response

-Each C2741-03 tube has a defect as currently used

Esj 54: poor SNR

Esj 31: uneven illumination

can be trimmed?

I believe they exhibit the same defect no matter the unit put into

-All 3 units use KV-5767 yoke assembly

-Pre-amps look like they are interchangable between C2741-03 and C2741-, but appear not to be

-Different tubes

C2741-03: N2606-10

C2741-: S4076

-Haven't touched C2400

-Haven't compard to

4 Used Tubes-3 Newvicon S4076 Vidicon Tube One RCA 8507A Untested But Guaranteed

probably should get these to play with

2019-12-11

Swapped C790-10 tube into C2741 and it doesn't seem to produce any significantly better results. I was able to tune better, but significant defects still present. Took a video, maybe post

Several x-ray experiments on S4076. Its either not x-ray sensitive or very weakly sensitive. N2606 might be more sensitive though

Comparing misc controllers:

• C790-10 X-RAY TV CAMERA, S/N 88074380
• C2741- CAMERA CONTROL UNIT, S/N 0131K
• C2741 CAMERA CONTROLLER, S/N 091264
• C2400 CAMERA CONTROLLER, S/N 931545

"CAMERA CONTROLLER"

• These appear basically identical in every regard I can tell except the C2741, which is literally a sticky label different
• Have different PCB revs, but this seems more of circumstance than an actual design difference
• Suggests C2741 was analog legacy design and C2400 is functionally equivalent digital design
