Television camera
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Professional video camera.
A professional video camera (often called a television camera even though its use has spread beyond television) is a high-end device for creating electronic moving images (as opposed to a movie camera, which uses film stock). Originally developed for use in television studios or with outside broadcasttrucks, they are now also used for music videos, direct-to-video movies (see digital movie camera), corporate and educational videos, wedding videos, among other uses. Since the 2000s, most professional video cameras have been digital (instead of analog).
