Goodbye, Ikegami HK 357
 

Recently this retirement ceremony for a beloved piece of hardware went out over public air...

Our college broadcast facility still uses Sony TUBE cameras and Ross ANALOG switchers.

Below is an example from 2008, but I bet they're still in use.

Jack, I did a site tour there last year looking to partner with students and recent grads and I BELIEVE the studio had switched (pardon the pun) to Sony DSR DVCam cameras...

Of course, I'm old and my memory is starting to go so I may have been hallucinating.

2004 = Recently?

I suppose on a more universal, geographic timescale...

That's Studio 2. Studio 1 still has the tube cameras.

Thanks for catching that, as I didn't even notice the date! Perhaps it's a recent upload. It definitely makes a lot more sense that it's from 2004.

I've gotta start paying closer attention to the title info...
