ABSTRACT:
An automatic exposure control system is disclosed for TV cameras, particuly those of the active type wherein a pulsed light source provides scene illumination for the camera. The control system includes a major control loop wherein an instantaneous photocathode current signal is time-separated from the total sensor signal of an image tube and integrated to provide a real-time measure of the total instantaneous light input upon the photocathode of the tube. When the total light input reaches a predetermined exposure level, a pulse is generated for gating off the image tube via a high voltage supply therefor so that a constant effective exposure is provided the photocathode. Peak levels of the photoelectron current are used to vary the amount of light entering the system and a conventional video detector is included to regulate the photocathode voltage thereby permitting a relatively constant video output signal to be maintained throughout a wide range of input light conditions.
