what was the output of the Chromacoder like??

I assume CBS dumped the Chromacoder and the field sequential cameras because the RCA color cameras were better???

I assume that flicker and breakup issues would have also been an issue?

But wasn't the camera used for the Apollo space flights essentially a field sequential camera with some sort of NTSC encoding in much the same way?

I imagine the CBS cameras would have been much lighter and easier to move and maintain than the early tri-tube NTSC cameras.
