TV shows in North America in the 1980s were 30 frames per second. This may look faster than some modern TV to you for two reasons. The first is that the picture was interlaced, drawing every other line 60 times per second (controlled by the 60 Hz power supply). This is essentially a compromise between 525 and 262.5 vertical resolution (minus some for overscan) and 30 fps and 60 fps time resolution. The second reason is simply that some TV shows now really are shot at the lower 24 fps rate for a cinematic quality. However, you will also find some cable and satellite broadcasts at higher frame rates, up to 240 fps progressive scan, which would have been impractical in the 80s and impossible for broadcast TV.

@@EebstertheGreat I might also want to add that audio and video, compressed, are not compressed together. By extension, they're not decompressed together either. They are completely separate streams that need to be synced up at playback, and they are not inherently in sync. Although modern video(with audio) transmission tries to sync it up, it's not always successful, and not nearly as "perfect" as it was in the analog world. I may be aging myself(and I'm not THAT old), but I still notice the subtle lip syncing problem when watching videos on KZread and even digital TV, which is pretty much everywhere now. IMO, this accounts for some of the "80s frame rate seemed better" perception. SMTPE ST2064 addressed this pretty recently in 2015, but I'm not sure how much that has been rolled out or implemented. I'd be interested in hearing if younger people know what I'm talking about.

@@djd829 It is true that the audio and video streams are separate, but this isn't the source of the desynchs you are seeing. That is really common on KZread and many streaming platforms, but you shouldn't see it on videos on an optical disk. The problem there is the way the video player handles video and audio when buffering. If a video pauses to buffer, you will often notice the audio continuing significantly after the video has paused. This is because the video signal is much higher bitrate than the audio, and so if your internet connection to the site isn't fast enough to keep up with the stream, the player usually runs out of video to show before audio. In principle, there is no reason the two couldn't resynchronize perfectly when the video starts playing again, but in practice, this is where I've seen things go wrong most of the time. It's just a software bug, and if you download a video entirely in advance and then play it, you shouldn't experience the problem. The desynch is not a problem with the video container. If digital TV is giving you issues, again, it's most likely a software problem. My parents have a very high end setup, but because the sound is handled by a separate device from the video, the two can desynchronize. I think in this case you are basically right, though it has nothing to do with compression. A totally analog system will introduce practically no delay between the signal coming in (from a tape, broadcast, or whatever) and the mechanical motion at the other end (of the driver, CRT, or whatever). It's impossible to have this sort of problem with analog equipment, assuming the video and audio equipment are getting the same signal at the same time. But digital devices necessarily introduce a delay, because computers are only so fast. In properly-designed setups, this shouldn't ever be perceptible, but it's something that often goes wrong that never did in the past.

Nowadays to capture video from analog sources we gotta find some stuff that can actually accept our clever but annoying mess of a video signal. PAL-M combines the black and white frame of the NTSC format (that is, what it uses as the frame, I know NTSC is the color system not the black and white frame itself), but with the PAL color system, on a frequency that works on NTSC frames. It's hell. Sure, it had the best color system of the two and the faster framerate at once, but nowadays... what happens is that Brazilian recordings look black and white on NTSC gear, and jump or don't show at all on PAL systems, unless maybe the other weird PAL-60hz system... and I have no idea what that one is. And now, me here trying to get old Video 8 tapes out of the dying camcorder, gotta deal with that crap years after their common use demise... "fun" fact: many capture cards can do either PAL or NTSC, but when that mess pops up, it either does nothing or shows black and white.

It's the curse of the perfection. PAL was derived from NTSC but corrected the issue of colour stability. SECAM (means séquentiel à memoire: sequential with memory) was derived from PAL but used another method to store the colour information from one line to the other, solving one of the problems PAL had. Solving this stability issue also made it very difficult to tamper with the signal and made keylock and green screening essentially impossible.

@RyanSchweitzer77

Yes, I ve heard that due to those difficulties and limitations of SECAM, most European TV studios that transmitted in countries that used that standard, like France where it was developed, would just use PAL color video internally in their plants for production and preparation for air, and then convert at "the last mile" to SECAM into their transmitters for over the air broadcasting. IMO, SECAM is weird and unique in how it uses a memory of sorts (using analog delay lines when SECAM was developed, IIRC) to keep the color in check. SECAM almosts seems like it was a bit too ahead of its time---such a standard would be a cinch to implement with today's digital (and analog) electronics. I wonder if most later-era SECAM-standard TV sets probably had some digital circuit or buffer to process the SECAM color info.

It is very French, make something different but essentially the same so it is ours. PAL was an interesting standard, it had a higher resolution than NTSC, which is basically due to both systems being based on the AC power frequency of where they were invented. This gave NTSC a higher field rate and PAL more lines to a field for the same bandwidth. Due to this and PAL later being stretched for anamorphic widescreen meant that America was quicker to take up HD, as in Europe what we had wasn't as bad.

The word "pixel" comes from virtual square tiles used to assemble pictures on a computer.

“Pixel” is a portmanteau of “PICture” and “ELement.” Pix is a throwback to a 1932 Variety magazine usage of “pix” as an abbreviation for ”pictures” used as a reference to movies. By 1938 it had migrated to use by photojournalists as a reference to still pictures. Pixel was first published in its modern case by Frederick J. Billingsley, of JPL, to describe picture elements of scanned images from moon and Mars space probes. Billingsley said he had heard it from Keith McFarland, at the Link Division of General Precision in Palo Alto, who in turn said he didn’t know where it had originated, only that it was, “in use at the time” (circa 1963).

"It's just very hard to imagine how non-square pixels would work." May I offer a suggestion? :) :D How about hexagonal (honeycomb) pixels? Firstly, they all fit flush together. Secondly, and I don't know what "significance" this is, but they could be "accessed" via three different angles/axes. A square pixel can be identified through two coordinates, (x,y). That's because you have two directions, or planes, or axes or whatever, of symmetry in a square: "up/down" and "side/side". With a hexagon shape, There are three ways rotational symmetry: "up/down", "top-right/bottom-left", and "top-left/bottom-right". At this point I'll say, I don't know what the particular pros and cons of this would be in regards to applying the logic of hexagonal matrices into computing. Obviously it makes it more complex, but it does make me wonder "how well" it would!! Anyway it was awesome to learn that "pixel" originates as a software term :)

But I do have agree with Scott, composite video does suffer from that dreaded dot-crawl! In my video tinkering, I've noticed that some monochrome composite monitors made for CCTV and older computers (like your Apple IIs, etc.) tend to exhibit dot-like patterns all over the display's raster when color video with burst is displayed. I tried another video source that for sure I knew was monochrome, having no colorburst and no color subcarrier, and it looked clear as a bell, no dot-patterning. I guess those monitors displaying the dot patterning lack the proper video filtering (maybe due to manufacturing cost).

@electronash

Ryan Schweitzer Yes, maybe I should have said that the filtering is not ideal on some monochrome sets. (where the filtering was more of a side-effect of the limited bandwidth of the transmission itself.) The dot crawl or "running ants" effect can be quite bad on colour sets when fed via Composite too, which is why I always tried to use RGB SCART on my retro machines, even back in the late 80s / early 90s. Newer TVs (analog broadcasts) often employed a 3D comb filter, which reduced the dot crawl a fair bit, but also not perfect. There's an interesting article online about a PAL transcoder which gave superb quality from old tape archives, like Dr Who etc. If I find it again, I'll post the link here.

Fantastic video! Probably the most comprehensive and detailed series on how analog TV works. Would love to see you tackle the different TV systems like NTSC-J, PAL and SECAM in future episodes.

Somethings I'd like to point out. Guillermo Gonzales Camarena's color wheel patent actually predates that of CBS and his device worked rather well. Camarena's original patent was in Mexico and appears to have been submitted in late 1939 and was granted in August 1940 before CBS patent submission or demonstration. I have a scan of this certificate and can send it to you. His US patent also recognizes the Mexican patent date and also makes everyone think that his invention came after CBS. Camarena's system worked well enough to be used for medical equipment and studio broadcast equipment some of which was exported to the US for the columbia college in Chicago. Like CBS, Camarena's system was not necessarily limited to the 30fps standard or it's field rate. Only having to use it with a current broadcast standard was a limit he considered. At the time those standards were not set in stone so I'm sure he knew of higher potential. He was often building closed circuit equipment so he may have exploited that to his advantage to avoid norms. I recognize CBS system's advantages but Camarena was truly the first to demonstrate that practical color TV was possible, especially considering it's compatibility aspect. I've seen footage of his system and it's functional. I also have an interview of a former NASA engineer who says Camarena's color wheel system was inspiration of the color cameras used in the Apollo moon missions, his name is Paul Coan and says this on a documentary. It's a shame he's so badly documented. If you would like to know more please contact me. :)

It may be that Guillermo Gonzales Camarena's system predates the work of CBS, but John Logie Baird had a mechanical sequential-color TV working in 1928. I don't wish to suggest that Camarena's work isn't important, but it's very hard given knowledge of other people's efforts for me to credit him as the "Inventor of Color Television" as some people do.

@FelixTheHouseFreak

6 жыл бұрын

Hello, you are correct, that is indeed a mislabeling. Camarena didn't claim to have invented the first color system ever either. In his patent he mentions how at the time color systems were very complex and expensive so he knew of prior works done in the field but his invention was supposed to be a practical alternative. Baird's technology was still nipkow disk and other all electronic experiments had high cost and other large issues at the time. I do believe he deserves this credit, first practical system. Which although not as practical as the later NTSC standard (I wouldn't want to have a spinning wheel for a TV either) did break ground in putting color at reach for the public with results superior to all the previous systems except maybe the tri-tube systems at a very reduced cost all while being compatible. I am currently working on a documentary on Camarena and have spent months undoing bad documentation and digging up as much detailed information on him as possible. Camarena died in a car accident and the people who came documenting him after this didnt do a very good job of it except for an engineer that worked for him. Currently his sons have a large collection of information which includes plans for his inventions and I assume technical notes. I am trying to get in contact with them. His bi-color invention was also not the first to use this sytem but was taylored to a significant cost reduction that was more than just a few dollars as the CRT featured no shadow mask and the television had no chroma circuit. This system was about to go into production by majestic before he passed away. Stay tuned for my docu, it wont be a proper documentary but I do aim to clear up the history on him with more exact facts than the usual texts you can find online. I hope to clear up a lot of questions.

But since the trajectory of the beams is controlled by a magnetic field which tends to curve the beams in a way that is affected by even the small distance between the guns; the beams end up curved in 3 directions, making the shadow mask much more effective in directing each beam to the appropriate phosphor spot.

This man looks like a nerd, talks like a nerd and it's one of the coolest man I want to hang out with XD

I own a trinitron, so I hit the bell icon so I can be notified when you explain how it works

What an amazing channel!! Subscribed!!

Wow! You really know your stuff! Now I AM learning new stuff. Thanks!

At 10:45 great Marshall Applewhite cosplay. The soft focus of the analogue signal and background really match. 😋

Great video as always.

Absolutely Brilliant! Thank You.

Frightfully fascinating video and easy to understand

This is the first video I've seen. Love it already

Thank you, you're helping me a lot for an exam :D

hey man, good videos. keep em up.

I love your videos man! Thank you so much!

What a brilliant explanation.

Always interesting stuff, thanks!

Wonderful stuff, never stop please!

I was really hoping this was the "color burst" explanation but I'll definitely be staying tuned for that!

Very very Interesting explanation of how it all works! :D

More than fascinating. Thank you

You should have way more subs. Keep up the good work

First video watching and already subscribed. Great video.

I think this is very well presented. Thanks.

Interesting stuff as always

very thorough! Love it!

Thank you. this informs us of how technology evolves

No, not really. He continued to work on it when it was still the best system, but when electrical systems came round he started working on them instead. He invented the first all electrical colour system, and the first mechanical system! His discs came first, and were still good until CRTs became common. If you wanted colour, his discs were the only way until the 1940’s when NTSC came out and in Europe you needed to wait until the 1960’s.

Great video, though I’ll probably have to watch it again to get a full understanding.

that's pretty cool. ive always been a fan of crt's not many do though now a days. i still have all of my crt tv's and pc monitors. and i had a lot of decent knowledge of how they work but this just extends more on it in the history side as well. and i didnt know those lines werent pixels more i know. i have a small 5" black and white tv from 2006 has the yellow and white rca plugs since its just mono..was fun playing the ps1 off it a lot back then aha.

Nice work, thanks.

great video my man keep it up

Dude this is great keep em coming 🤓

The high power of the color electron guns and the fact that most of their beam hit a metal screen was a reason a lot of color TVs put out a substantial amount of soft X rays.

Neat research, you earned a sub :)

Well done! Thank you.

I'm hoping the next video will explain that the color carrier is actually two signals (I and Q). Every explanation of NTSC color I've read only explains the I signal, as if color is just one axis and not a circle. The benefit of using QAM for the color carrier is that you can modulate two signals instead of just one. That greatly increases the color resolution and it would have increased it even more if both signals had been encoded in VSB. For some mysterious reason, Q in encoded in DSB, confining it to half the bandwidth of I.

Thank You for the info.
