Sightseeing #1…’Another World’, NBC Brooklyn 1990
Thanks to Anthony Torre, here’s a something we don’t often see…NBC’s Ikegami cameras. This was at the Brooklyn Studios and I think that’s an HK 322, but I’m not positive. With this in mind, up next is a 1990 trip to ‘Today’ and a look at their Ikegamis. Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee

The NBC cameras are fantastic!
I worked at NBC Brooklyn on two occasions, filling in doing video maintenance in 1978. It was an amazing facility; so sad that it’s practically abandoned now.
What show is this? A soap?
