The results of some first laboratory analysis of double star images recorded with a TV camera are presented.

The camera – already in use since a few years for occultation-timings has been described earlier. For double star observations, the equipment has been completed by a video disc memory, a video analyser with analogic-digital converter and a small programmable calculator.

Details are given about this equipment and its possibilities. The reduction method in its present state is described as well as some first results. These show a very good internal agreement leading to a high promising new observational technique.
