A semiconductor version from Signetics (remember them) is attached.
One of the objective was/is that with a tube (CRT) swap the display could change from a NBTV version (P1 phosphor) to a SSTV version (P7 phosphor). I chose the 5ADP1 as I also have the P7 version (5ADP7) and it has a truly flat faceplate.
I agree, with SSTV do it the old way, a la Copthorne McDonald. 102/128 lines, around 7-8 seconds per frame, no colour. That's it!
I do agree though that SSTV (Slow-Scan TeleVision) is a misnomer as it is really a series of stills, not television as we conventionally think of it, yet it's not quite FAX either.
