The T.V.


To develope the T.V. a group of optical, mechanical, and electronic employees were hired. The T.V. was meant to capture, transmit and display a visual image. The use of scanning to transmit an image was used in 1881, in the pantelegraph. That's where the idea of the future T.V. came from. in 1884 a Paul Gottlieb Nipkow, a 23 year old student in Germany, patentied the first model of the electrmechanical T.V. system.


Later Scottish John Logie Baird deminstrated the transsition of moving picutures in London, in 1925. Baird's system produced a 30 lines resolution, just enough to see a human face. Baird didn't stop there. in 1927 Baird made the first video recording system. In 1926, a Hungarin engineer disigned a television using full electric, scanning and display elements.


By 1927, a Russian inventor made a new kind of T.V. He made a T.V. with mirror drum-base technology. His achived a 100 lines resolution. In 1928 a newer model of a television came out. The television had a system with scanning of both pick up and display divises. It was showed to the media on September 1st 1928. In 1929 T.V. broadcasts were a regular thing in Germany. And in 1936 the Berlin Olimpic Games were broadcast. That same year Kalman Tihanyi came up with the idea of a plasma television, the first flat plannel system.
