Analogue circuits

Introduced: January 1980

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Control of exposure by setting shutters, diaphragms or filters, separately or conjointly > Control effected solely on the basis of the response, to the intensity of the light received by the camera, of a built-in light-sensitive device > Analogue circuits

CPC:

Control of exposure by setting shutters, diaphragms or filters, separately or conjointly (control of exposure in television cameras by means of circuitry influencing the optical part of the camera H04N23/75) > Control effected solely on the basis of the response, to the intensity of the light received by the camera, of a built-in light-sensitive device > Analogue circuits

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 4 subcodes exist in both systems.

IPC defines codes here since 1980.
