  We have performed 2.6-hour time-series optical-infrared photometry 
of TV Col during the last outburst.  Temporary results are shown at 
the following page:

TV Col was in a rapidly fading state.  The fading speed is quite
large, ~4.4 mag/day.
Our simultaneous optica-infrared observation shows 
a hint of pulses from the white dwarf in TV Col, and
a relatively red color during the outburst (V-J~0.5-0.6).  

The object is now at quiescence:
COLTV 20070312.43840  13.97V  KANATA

Future multi-longitude observations are needed in order to study 
the whole evolution of accretion disks during short outbursts of 
a sub-group of intermediate polars, like TV Col, HT Cam, and DO Dra.
Due to their short durations of outbursts, close monitoring is 
encouraged.
