1
00:00:00,130 --> 00:00:04,920
If you’re watching something like, well
like this, on a modern display, you probably

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:09,510
don’t think too much about what your device
is doing to make this happen. It’s not really

3
00:00:09,510 --> 00:00:14,130
that extraordinary in this modern world filled
with computers and microprocessors. In fact,

4
00:00:14,130 --> 00:00:18,710
I’m willing to bet you have a rough idea
of how this works. But I’ll explain anyway.

5
00:00:18,710 --> 00:00:22,410
If you get up close to a TV or monitor, you
find there’s a grid, made of millions of

6
00:00:22,410 --> 00:00:26,849
little squares called pixels. From far enough
away, these pixels blend into each other,

7
00:00:26,849 --> 00:00:31,589
and our eyes and brains build a coherent picture.
To actually create the image on the screen,

8
00:00:31,589 --> 00:00:35,330
each pixel can have some instructions sent
to it to tell it how much light it should

9
00:00:35,330 --> 00:00:39,430
emit. A series of controller circuits work
with millions of transistors to methodically

10
00:00:39,430 --> 00:00:44,470
give every one of these squares a specific
brightness value 60 or 120 times a second,

11
00:00:44,470 --> 00:00:48,680
sometimes more often than that. The instructions
are further divided into three separate values

12
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,800
for red, green, and blue which when combined
together can create practically any color

13
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,030
you can think of.

14
00:00:54,030 --> 00:00:57,990
But have you ever wondered how old-school
TV worked? We’ve been sending video signals

15
00:00:57,990 --> 00:01:03,530
over the air for a very long time, in fact
analog television predates World War II. There

16
00:01:03,530 --> 00:01:07,859
weren’t computer or logic circuits decoding
number values then, in fact there weren’t

17
00:01:07,859 --> 00:01:14,630
even pixels. Yet, this somehow worked. How?
What magic is going on to take the signal

18
00:01:14,630 --> 00:01:19,079
coming over this wire and turn it into a black
and white image of me, all without a single

19
00:01:19,079 --> 00:01:20,380
digital circuit?

20
00:01:20,380 --> 00:01:25,350
To find out, let’s make things really simple.
Instead of looking at millions of pixels,

21
00:01:25,350 --> 00:01:30,890
let’s look at just one. A single pixel is
really just a point of light. Without using

22
00:01:30,890 --> 00:01:35,420
any digital circuitry, how can we tell the
light what to do? Easy, by controlling how

23
00:01:35,420 --> 00:01:36,630
much power it gets.

24
00:01:36,630 --> 00:01:41,780
Here’s an LED hooked up to a power supply.
By simply varying how much voltage it gets,

25
00:01:41,780 --> 00:01:46,569
you can change how much light it emits. Using
radio technology, it’s really easy to build

26
00:01:46,569 --> 00:01:50,240
a circuit that can control the brightness
of this LED or another light source based

27
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:55,850
on the strength of a signal transmitted over
the air. Of course, this is clearly not television,

28
00:01:55,850 --> 00:01:58,020
but it’s at the core of what makes it work.

29
00:01:58,020 --> 00:02:03,079
See, we really suck at seeing things that
happen quickly. Our eyes and brains are just

30
00:02:03,079 --> 00:02:07,779
no good at processing fast visual information.
Thus, it’s really easy to trick our eyes

31
00:02:07,779 --> 00:02:11,950
into seeing something that’s not really
there. If you take a light source and move

32
00:02:11,950 --> 00:02:16,150
it very quickly, you no longer see a single
light source, instead you see a continuous

33
00:02:16,150 --> 00:02:20,800
line that follow the path of the light. Our
brains can’t process the light’s fast

34
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,410
motion, and it just blurs together into a
solid line. This phenomenon is called persistence

35
00:02:25,410 --> 00:02:29,990
of vision. Now, if you manipulate the voltage
of the light while you move it, you can make

36
00:02:29,990 --> 00:02:31,430
patterns in the line.

37
00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:36,870
You can find a lot of toys that exploit persistence
of vision. This old 20Q game works using this

38
00:02:36,870 --> 00:02:41,600
principle. A small circuit board with a few
LEDs on it spins in a circle really fast,

39
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,710
too fast for your eyes to keep track of. If
the LEDs were lit up all the time, it would

40
00:02:45,710 --> 00:02:50,660
just appear to be a continuous circle. But
the game uses sensors to track where the LEDs

41
00:02:50,660 --> 00:02:55,610
are, and turns each of them on and off at
very specific times. By manipulating the brightness

42
00:02:55,610 --> 00:03:00,080
of the LEDs and timing it with their motion,
it can draw simple text and graphics using

43
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,810
just eight points of light.

44
00:03:01,810 --> 00:03:06,680
But a CRT television like this has only one
point of light to work with. After all, this

45
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:11,830
is 1920’s technology, and multitasking wasn’t
really a thing yet. So first, what actually

46
00:03:11,830 --> 00:03:17,480
makes the light? Well, CRT stands for cathode
ray tube. The name comes from cathode rays,

47
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:22,690
which were discovered by Johann Hittorf in
1869. William Crookes had created these goofy

48
00:03:22,690 --> 00:03:27,120
tube things that were really important to
early scientific discovery. He was able to

49
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,650
evacuate nearly all the air from these tubes,
which allowed electrons to move freely within

50
00:03:31,650 --> 00:03:35,600
them, though no one yet knew what electrons
were. When electric current was sent through

51
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,120
these tubes, something caused them to glow.
Johann Hittorf was the first person to piece

52
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,320
together that whatever was causing this phenomenon
travelled in straight lines from the cathode,

53
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,210
or negative electrode, observing how a stencil
between the cathode and the surface of the

54
00:03:48,210 --> 00:03:54,460
tube cast a shadow. Eugen Goldstein gave them
the name Cathode Rays, just like rays of sunlight.

55
00:03:54,460 --> 00:03:58,540
J J Thompson would later use these tubes to
work out what these cathode rays were actually

56
00:03:58,540 --> 00:04:03,220
made of, and in doing so he happened to discover
the electron. So good on him.

57
00:04:03,220 --> 00:04:08,220
Before we continue, SAFETY WARNING: Exploring
the innards of a CRT television can be quite

58
00:04:08,220 --> 00:04:12,780
dangerous. A set as small as this can generate
over a thousand volts through the flyback

59
00:04:12,780 --> 00:04:18,260
transformer, and the CRT’s glass can store
a lethal charge. I know what is and what’s

60
00:04:18,260 --> 00:04:22,180
not OK to touch, and since you likely don’t,
don’t try this at home.

61
00:04:22,180 --> 00:04:26,100
If you’ve ever messed around with antique
radios you’ll have seen vacuum tubes, which

62
00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:30,880
are the precursors to transistors. These electronic
components have the air evacuated from them

63
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:35,330
so electrons can move freely, just like the
crookes tubes. Using a heater filament to

64
00:04:35,330 --> 00:04:39,240
induce thermionic emission from a cathode,
they can manipulate electric current in a

65
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:44,300
bunch of ways. A television CRT is really
a specialized vacuum tube that has had its

66
00:04:44,300 --> 00:04:49,750
top blown way up and out to form a screen.
It’s then mounted sideways in a cabinet,

67
00:04:49,750 --> 00:04:53,420
and your eyes stare at the front of it. That’s
what brought about the phrase, watching the

68
00:04:53,420 --> 00:04:56,900
tube. And it also explains the name of this
site.

69
00:04:56,900 --> 00:05:00,380
Because it has no air inside, it has to be
pretty strong to counteract the force of the

70
00:05:00,380 --> 00:05:05,790
atmosphere always trying to crush it. That’s
why larger tube TV’s are so heavy--the glass

71
00:05:05,790 --> 00:05:11,190
needs to be quite thick on larger sets. Most
of the tube is empty space with the meat and

72
00:05:11,190 --> 00:05:16,571
potatoes being at the very back. Here you’ll
find the awesomely named electron gun. This

73
00:05:16,571 --> 00:05:20,300
component generates a stream of electrons
and they are shot straight out to the front

74
00:05:20,300 --> 00:05:25,070
of the tube. The flyback transformer generates
an extremely high voltage in the anode to

75
00:05:25,070 --> 00:05:29,320
attract the electrons to the front of the
screen. Coating the inside surface of the

76
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:34,230
tube is a special powder known as a phosphor.
When the electrons sent from the gun hit the

77
00:05:34,230 --> 00:05:38,990
phosphor, it gets all excited and emits light,
via fluorescence, but only in the spot the

78
00:05:38,990 --> 00:05:40,240
electrons are hitting it.

79
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:45,200
Here’s a working CRT with one of the critical
components to television removed because we

80
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,940
haven’t gotten that far. Don’t worry,
we’ll get there. So, the CRT is doing a

81
00:05:48,940 --> 00:05:52,310
bang-up job producing a stream of electrons
and they’re going straight to the front

82
00:05:52,310 --> 00:06:00,310
of the screen, and colliding with it to make
it glow. And, this is the result. So fascinating.

83
00:06:00,310 --> 00:06:04,310
But hang on, there’s more to it. The vast
majority of the signal coming into this television

84
00:06:04,310 --> 00:06:09,380
is simply telling it how bright to make this
point of light. Therefore, a signal that alternates

85
00:06:09,380 --> 00:06:15,730
between bright and dark will make this happen.
Amazing. That doesn’t do that much good.

86
00:06:15,730 --> 00:06:19,389
Ah, but you see, the point of light can be
moved.

87
00:06:19,389 --> 00:06:23,260
One of the things Crookes and others noticed
when mucking about with his tubes was that

88
00:06:23,260 --> 00:06:28,570
a magnetic field can bend an electron beam.
In other words, you can use a magnet to alter

89
00:06:28,570 --> 00:06:33,340
the path the beam makes through the tube.
Watch. Here’s an ordinary strong magnet

90
00:06:33,340 --> 00:06:38,090
used for a nametag. When I move it around
the neck of the tube, the point of light moves

91
00:06:38,090 --> 00:06:44,060
around the screen, also. Mind bending, more
like beam bending, amiright?

92
00:06:44,060 --> 00:06:49,570
So then, here comes the other bit. This little
bundle of wires is called the deflection yoke.

93
00:06:49,570 --> 00:06:54,241
This is responsible for moving the beam really
really quickly, and fooling your eyes. The

94
00:06:54,241 --> 00:06:58,320
yoke is made of two electromagnets that surround
the neck of the tube, and they work together

95
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:03,080
to move the electron beam around in a set
pattern. It does this by creating a fairly

96
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:08,169
strong magnetic field which will deflect the
beam’s path. First, I’ll turn on the horizontal

97
00:07:08,169 --> 00:07:14,949
deflector. Now, rather than a point of light,
we see a line. This line is being drawn on

98
00:07:14,949 --> 00:07:20,250
the screen thousands of times a second, way
too fast for your eyes to notice. Just like

99
00:07:20,250 --> 00:07:25,360
the POV effect from the toy, if we carefully
control how bright this line is as it moves

100
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:35,280
left and right we can create patterns in the
line like this.

101
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,740
But the yoke contains another magnet that
can move the beam up and down. Let me switch

102
00:07:39,740 --> 00:07:45,759
to that one. We now have a vertical line being
drawn on the screen, and we can control its

103
00:07:45,759 --> 00:07:50,190
intensity just like the horizontal line to
draw patterns. This vertical movement happens

104
00:07:50,190 --> 00:07:54,870
much more slowly than the horizontal movement,
with the line only being drawn 60 times in

105
00:07:54,870 --> 00:08:00,139
a second. Now, since we can point the beam
from left to right, as well as up and down,

106
00:08:00,139 --> 00:08:04,650
we can point it anywhere we want on the screen.
Let’s turn on both electromagnets at the

107
00:08:04,650 --> 00:08:13,630
same time. We now have an image on the whole
screen. Pretty neat, huh? By carefully controlling

108
00:08:13,630 --> 00:08:18,009
the intensity of the beam over time, we can
create a complete image.

109
00:08:18,009 --> 00:08:22,140
If you look really closely at a black and
white television, you won’t find pixels.

110
00:08:22,140 --> 00:08:27,150
Rather, you’ll find lines. See, the image
is made of lines, in fact there are roughly

111
00:08:27,150 --> 00:08:33,710
525 lines that make up the NTSC signal, and
about 480 are visible on the screen. The deflection

112
00:08:33,710 --> 00:08:38,440
yoke is making a pattern on the screen called
a raster, and in NTSC countries, it’s drawn

113
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,390
on the screen 60 times a second. There’s
a bit of a trick, though, because the screen

114
00:08:42,390 --> 00:08:47,899
is only COMPLETELY redrawn 30 times a second.
See, as the raster is drawn, only every other

115
00:08:47,899 --> 00:08:52,460
line is filled in. This is called a field,
and it’s the principle behind interlaced

116
00:08:52,460 --> 00:08:58,060
video. That’s the i in 1080i. Because not-a-lot
of bandwidth is available, the whole screen

117
00:08:58,060 --> 00:09:02,050
can only reasonably be filled in 30 times
a second, but this would be noticeable as

118
00:09:02,050 --> 00:09:06,360
flicker and could give many people headaches.
By skipping every other line and then repeating

119
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,870
the scan to fill in the rest, the screen is
drawn from top to bottom 60 times a second,

120
00:09:10,870 --> 00:09:15,110
which was too fast for most people to perceive
flickering. Also, it allowed for smoother

121
00:09:15,110 --> 00:09:19,450
motion, with the caveat that fast-moving objects
would have less detail as only every-other

122
00:09:19,450 --> 00:09:23,590
line is filled in with each field (however
that never proved to be a huge concern as

123
00:09:23,590 --> 00:09:26,390
it’s hard to see detail in fast moving objects,
anyway.)

124
00:09:26,390 --> 00:09:30,580
Side-note: It’s no coincidence that the
60 hz refresh rate matches the frequency of

125
00:09:30,580 --> 00:09:35,680
the AC electricity sent into homes, as the
60 hz sine wave coming from the socket powering

126
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:40,940
the TV made for a convenient timing reference
for vertical scanning. PAL countries, which

127
00:09:40,940 --> 00:09:46,290
have 50 hz electricity, have a television
frame rate of 25 frames per second interlaced,

128
00:09:46,290 --> 00:09:52,360
with a scanning refresh rate of 50 hz. So,
tv framerates are what they are because convenience.

129
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,480
So now that we have the means to generate
this raster, well how does that make a picture?

130
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,660
Well, it’s just like the POV effect from
the toy, only it’s a helluva lot faster

131
00:10:00,660 --> 00:10:05,320
and the light moves in two dimensions. Let’s
slow down time and see how the TV builds an

132
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:10,950
image. Let’s say we want to show this on
the screen. At the start of a field, the deflection

133
00:10:10,950 --> 00:10:15,130
yoke is pointing the electron beam at the
top left of the screen. As it moves towards

134
00:10:15,130 --> 00:10:19,290
the right, the beam changes its intensity
along with how bright the image should be,

135
00:10:19,290 --> 00:10:23,230
so at a point along the line that’s bright,
it produces a lot of electrons, and thus that

136
00:10:23,230 --> 00:10:28,410
point on the screen glows brightly. Dark parts
send little to no electrons. When the beam

137
00:10:28,410 --> 00:10:31,830
gets to the end of the line, the deflection
yoke almost instantly pulls it back to the

138
00:10:31,830 --> 00:10:36,779
left-hand side and starts the next line. But
remember, it skipped a line. This process

139
00:10:36,779 --> 00:10:40,700
repeats until it reaches the bottom of the
screen. Then the yoke flings the beam back

140
00:10:40,700 --> 00:10:45,360
to the top, and we start again filling in
the alternate lines. This happens way too

141
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,550
fast for us to notice it, so it appears like
a fully illuminated screen.

142
00:10:49,550 --> 00:10:53,649
One thing to note is that the vertical deflection
isn’t happening in steps. Rather it’s

143
00:10:53,649 --> 00:10:58,100
a constant downward motion. This means that
the horizontal lines are actually slightly

144
00:10:58,100 --> 00:11:03,050
slanted downward to the right. To counteract
this, the deflection yoke is mounted to the

145
00:11:03,050 --> 00:11:07,721
tube ever so slightly crooked, so the lines
drawn on the screen are actually level. The

146
00:11:07,721 --> 00:11:12,649
constant downward travel is also how the interlacing
is accomplished. The next line will start

147
00:11:12,649 --> 00:11:16,410
at the same height as the end of the first,
which creates a gap.

148
00:11:16,410 --> 00:11:20,220
You may remember an extremely high-pitched
noise coming from a TV set whenever it was

149
00:11:20,220 --> 00:11:25,149
turned on. This noise actually came from the
deflection yoke and the electronics that drive

150
00:11:25,149 --> 00:11:31,820
it. In NTSC televisions, the horizontal deflection
occurred 525 times per frame, and there are

151
00:11:31,820 --> 00:11:37,500
30 frames in a second, which means the electron
beam is being deflected left-and-right 15,750

152
00:11:37,500 --> 00:11:43,240
times per second. In PAL countries, the framerate
is only 25 frames per second, but 625 lines

153
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:48,700
are drawn with each frame, which works out
to 15,625 deflection per second. The yoke

154
00:11:48,700 --> 00:11:52,580
and the flyback transformer, along with some
other components, actually vibrate at this

155
00:11:52,580 --> 00:11:57,990
frequency ever so slightly, which produces
audible noise. This is what it sounds like.

156
00:11:57,990 --> 00:12:01,959
Adults over the age of 25 or so can’t hear
this sound, as it’s at the upper limit of

157
00:12:01,959 --> 00:12:07,420
human hearing range, which gradually diminishes
with age. So for those viewers, sorry.

158
00:12:07,420 --> 00:12:10,970
When it comes to actually producing an image,
the trickiest part is matching that raster

159
00:12:10,970 --> 00:12:15,630
to an incoming television signal. To help
with this, the TV signal contains triggers

160
00:12:15,630 --> 00:12:20,330
which assist the TV in grabbing hold of the
image and keeping it in one place.

161
00:12:20,330 --> 00:12:23,920
This Sony TV is correctly tuned to channel
3, which is currently displaying this video

162
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:29,330
that you’re hearing right now. But there’s
absolute nonsense on the screen. What gives?

163
00:12:29,330 --> 00:12:33,640
Well, the TV is generating its own raster,
and right now it’s not synchronized with

164
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,980
the raster coming into the TV. You’re seeing
all of the image, but each part is in the

165
00:12:37,980 --> 00:12:42,670
wrong place because it’s not lined up. Here,
to show you what the TV’s looking for, let’s

166
00:12:42,670 --> 00:12:46,910
fade to white. You’ll notice that there
are a ton of black gaps swirling around what

167
00:12:46,910 --> 00:12:51,700
should be an entirely white screen. These
gaps are the horizontal blanking intervals

168
00:12:51,700 --> 00:12:57,160
between individual scanlines. When horizontal
hold is properly adjusted, electronics in

169
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,950
the TV can see these gaps and line them up.

170
00:12:59,950 --> 00:13:03,660
Hold up, how can the set tell the difference
between the blanking intervals and a black

171
00:13:03,660 --> 00:13:08,560
spot on the screen? Well, it can tell them
apart because the blanking intervals are actually

172
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:14,420
BLACKER THAN BLACK. No, really. Here’s a
one line of a television signal drawn on a

173
00:13:14,420 --> 00:13:18,620
graph. These parts at the ends are the blanking
intervals between scan lines. They are the

174
00:13:18,620 --> 00:13:23,459
lowest parts of the graph because their amplitude
is near zero. Here is the actual start of

175
00:13:23,459 --> 00:13:27,590
the scan line. The higher the line goes, the
brighter that part of the scan line will be

176
00:13:27,590 --> 00:13:33,190
drawn on the screen. Makes sense, but black
is all the way up here. Television sets are

177
00:13:33,190 --> 00:13:38,120
calibrated to not fire the electron gun at
amplitudes at or below this amount, so to

178
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,910
they eye, any amplitude below this point won’t
be visible, but the electronics can clearly

179
00:13:42,910 --> 00:13:47,110
tell blanking intervals from signals. The
blanking interval isn’t there just to provide

180
00:13:47,110 --> 00:13:51,459
a reference for the beginning and end of a
scan line, it’s also there prevent anything

181
00:13:51,459 --> 00:13:55,660
from being drawn on the screen as the deflection
yoke sweeps the electron beam back to the

182
00:13:55,660 --> 00:14:01,079
left-hand side before the start of the next
line. The TV just has to line these low points

183
00:14:01,079 --> 00:14:04,930
up by catching them at the beginning of each
scan line, and then they’ll fall into the

184
00:14:04,930 --> 00:14:08,019
TV’s own raster. Everything is hunky dory.

185
00:14:08,019 --> 00:14:12,080
So then, when I adjust the horizontal hold,
you can see that this moves the blanking intervals

186
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:17,831
closer to each other, and eventually, the
image snaps into place. well, sort of. Now

187
00:14:17,831 --> 00:14:22,920
the image is rolling, it’s continually moving
downwards. Ah, see, we have only synchronized

188
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:27,279
the television's raster with the horizontal
components of the signal. Without a reference

189
00:14:27,279 --> 00:14:32,540
as to what starts a field scan, the pictures
just gonna roll around like this. See that

190
00:14:32,540 --> 00:14:36,589
hunk of black between my head and my waist?
That’s the vertical blanking interval, which

191
00:14:36,589 --> 00:14:41,290
is little more than a bunch of empty scan
lines. Just like the horizontal intervals,

192
00:14:41,290 --> 00:14:45,431
it allows the deflection yoke time to get
back to the top of the field. Again, this

193
00:14:45,431 --> 00:14:50,470
is BLACKER THAN BLACK, and it allows the television
to hold onto the start of each field and keep

194
00:14:50,470 --> 00:14:55,570
them in one place. The vertical blanking interval
also contains some special pulses to differentiate

195
00:14:55,570 --> 00:14:57,260
between the odd and even numbered fields.

196
00:14:57,260 --> 00:15:01,230
So, i’ll adjust the vertical hold, and eventually,
the frame snaps into place, and you get a

197
00:15:01,230 --> 00:15:06,649
truly stable image. Very intentionally, the
CRT is scanning outside the borders of the

198
00:15:06,649 --> 00:15:11,100
face of the tube. This is called overscan,
and it’s done to hide the blanking intervals

199
00:15:11,100 --> 00:15:15,400
as well as just ensure the whole screen is
being used. On this set, you can see how the

200
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:20,940
scan extends beyond the tube itself when looking
from behind. This unseen overscan area was

201
00:15:20,940 --> 00:15:25,760
used later to add closed captioning into television
broadcasts. On one of the lines that make

202
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:31,040
up the VBI, alternating white-black bits created
a barcode of sorts that contained digital

203
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:36,290
text information. A decoder inside the television
set could read this data from that line, and

204
00:15:36,290 --> 00:15:40,529
when enabled place text graphics on top of
the image. I think that’s pretty friggin

205
00:15:40,529 --> 00:15:41,529
nifty.

206
00:15:41,529 --> 00:15:45,380
As far as audio, well that’s really simple.
That’s nothing more than simple FM radio

207
00:15:45,380 --> 00:15:50,139
built into the TV, and each channel has an
audio signal being transmitted at a set offset

208
00:15:50,139 --> 00:15:54,450
frequency from the video source. Since the
signals are transmitted together, they are

209
00:15:54,450 --> 00:15:55,450
always in sync.

210
00:15:55,450 --> 00:16:00,060
So, that’s how these old things work. But
there’s a lot more to explore. For one,

211
00:16:00,060 --> 00:16:04,459
how did television cameras actually create
the signal that drives this TV? And who were

212
00:16:04,459 --> 00:16:10,860
the people responsible for inventing it? What about color?   We’ll
explore that in a later episode, along with

213
00:16:10,860 --> 00:16:15,640
the precursor to CRT television, mechanical
television, so be sure to subscribe to Technology
