Noddy was a camera system used for generating idents for the BBC One and BBC Two television channels from late 1963 to February 1985. The Noddy video camera was controlled by a servomotor to pan and tilt (or 'nod', hence the name Noddy) across a set of pre-arranged physical objects; captions and mechanical models. The camera was black-and-white, with colour electronically added to its output. This system eliminated the delay associated with swapping graphics upon a conventional copy stand. It also allowed for the depth required by mechanical objects such as clocks and a rotating globe.
