Become a ham! Amateur radio operators are permitted to transmit analog television signals in the UHF bands. Unfortunately, there isn't sufficient bandwidth in our VHF allocations for TV, but we can send analog still images--called Slow-Scan TeleVision or "SSTV" on nearly all bands, including the shortwave bands.

I have a side gig digitizing home videos and was looking for a way to explain analog video (and why it's never going to look quite the same was digitized) to a client and this was the first one that came up, which gave me a chuckle. I had Dana as a prof while at Ryerson RTA and it's nice to hear his voice again. Not sure why so many of the good ones leave us before their time but I'm glad he left us a bunch of his knowledge.

When I was 14 years old in 1969, on my way home from high school I would pass by a shop in Hunter Street, Newcastle, called "Radio Rentals". For some weeks they had this TV set on display, either in the front showcase window, or inside the shop itself. It was a "Baird"(brand) colour TV, switched on and showing a colour bar generated by a TV pattern generator. This set sticks in my memory for one real reason, and that's the way the stations were selected. It had a vertical column of knobs labelled BBC1, BBC2, then ITV1 through to ITV9. Below the station selector knobs were the customary picture and sound controls, Volume and Tone for the audio, Brightness and Contrast for the video, plus, being a colour set, it had the Colour control which would adjust the saturation of colour, then a Tint control which controlled the hue. Not being able to see inside the set I couldn't tell if it was valve or transistor circuitry, so, being 1969, I can only assume it was valve circuitry. But being British-made, it was a PAL-system set. I learned many years later that the Tint control, even in valve-circuitry PAL sets was superfluous. It was just an added extra to give the user an extra knob to twiddle, nothing more.

The NTSC (National Television System Committee) is the first compatible color broadcast which is backward compatible to the existing black and white TV receivers. And the color NTSC receivers is also backward compatible with the existing monochrome signal. Therefore it deserves respect. The Never Twice Same Color often happens during the vacuum tube era which as the tube heats up more, you need to re-adjust the tint control. But during the 1970s when transistor TV receivers was developed although out TV still has a tint control but we hardly touch it.

It's an amazing achievement and the fact it remained in use for so long is testament to the sound principles of its basic design. Where PAL and SECAM won out is that their designers were able to see NTSC working, and learn lessons from it. But that would not have been possible if NTSC hadn't been there first.

Well the developers of PAL certainly learned their lessons, and as a result developed a SUPERIOR colour TV system. The SECAM developers learned stuff-all as they developed a system that couldn't even be used in a studio without massive image problems. In fact, I read it in a reputable electronics magazine that French TV stations had to be kitted out with PAL-system cameras, VTR(videotape recorders), Telecine players, video mixing desks and other gear with the signal only transcoded to SECAM at the transmitter end. This is because SECAM gear could not handle switching from one camera to the next without the colour going totally "skewiff"(bad colour mismatches) but Gallic pride and obstinance forbade the French from admitting they "stuffed up"!

At first didn't want to watch the video because I thought it would be too basic, but it went into about as much depth as I wanted.

Resolution of analog pictures are finer than digital because they have no pixels. The shadow glide (transition from light area to dark area) of analog pictures is smoother than digital because in the latter the shadow glide goes in numerical steps from light to dark, resulting in "mapping" or "flaking" of skins of the subject. This bothers me but it's OK for others.

A good addendum to this documentary would be an explanation of how basic picture controls work. During the last 60seconds, "Phase" is discussed: the temporal alignment of the color subcarrier. The phase control long ago became known to consumers as the Hue, or, Tint control. Its purpose was to maintain the proper time alignment between the Luma(original black & white) and Chroma(color subcarrier) components of a NTSC broadcast picture. Thus, "Tint" really has only ONE correct setting - the setting that aligns that color burst synch to 180deg. A calibration test pattern, plus a blue filter or blue-only mode, can be used to arrive at that setting. And the value of that setting may vary from set to set. For Tint, and as for the other user picture controls(Brightness, Contrast, Sharpness, and Color)' there are no "preferred" settings, just CORRECT settings, which will allow one's analog or digital TV set to effectively become an extension of the studio broadcast or cinematic chain, guaranteeing viewers the most accurate image their display can deliver.

The problem is that today, despite leaps & bounds in quality and reliability of flat panel TVs, and the superior consistency and quality of digital TV(HD and SD), most of these panels are set up in a most non-standard mode at the factory, to compete with one another in retailers and dealers. Things weren't any better during the old analog(CRT Tube) era, but I'm a believer in educating consumers what the controls do, and what features can be disabled, and actually improve picture quality and transparency. I highly encourage viewers here to look up Joe Kane and the work he has done to attempt to bring accuracy to the viewing experience for the average consumer and for the upscale home theater owner. Calibration in a sense "removes the TV" from between source and viewer, allowing them to see exactly what the producers and directors of shows and movies want that material to look like.

If you like fuzzy picture composite cabels are the way to go!

Using degrees on a circle to encode colour is very clever because it gives you a wide range of values to play with. Unfortunately this also makes the signal highly susceptible to colour drifting - you risk having your entire colours shifted if there's even the slightest phase delay.

Very Informative

Excellent video. I have been trying to fix the pcb board that drives a crt. The hot keeps burning out and there is no high voltage. I suspect the horizontal frequency is wrong.

I can see how crt cameras emulate the mechanical tv cameras. They use magnetic fields to bend the light as apposed to the physical changes using discs to modulate the intensity of the light on the photo-sensitive element. And then the image viewer follows the same path as the camera to make the image appear, just like the spinning discs. With both systems, synchronization is imperative to see an image. With the mechanical system, the speed of the disc would most likely need to be constantly adjusted, whereas the electronic version, the sync signals are built into the carrier wave. Very interesting. I wonder why the vertical hold knob was easily accessed in the crt tvs while the horizontal control was seldom seen.

Good explaining

Mandolinic It's exactly that. NTSC uses quadrature amplitude modulation causing 2 problems: 1)color shift if there is phase shift in the receiver 2) The frequency between the luminance carrrier and the color subcarrier has to be an odd multiple of the line frequency to avoid ugly patterns of intermodulation between the two carriers from appearing on the screen, which leads to a crappy framerate of 59.xxx fps (interlaced). SECAM uses FM for color subcarrier so it is more robuust inna RF rransmission and it uses a delay line so it does not have to transmit the red and blue chrominance information at the same time on the same carrier, which allows better colors. The 2 problems of SECAM are incompatibility and it's a little bit more expensive.

How this work is simple - on video processing, you select one color - in many cases green - and inject a different video feed whenever a green color would be displayed.

Is Analog TV and how it works similar to how computers show video? If not, what is the difference since CRT computer monitors look similar to old TV sets?

With extreme high resolution digital then it is as smooth as analog but can be more slective in precision like stepper motor or anticolision technology or airplane position air and ground speed calibration

European PAL system works in the same way. The difference is that the modulation of the color signal is inverted every line. This is to compensate color deviations.

All principles presented here are same for PAL and NTSC. Differences are quite small and you need to know details about QAM (quadratic AM modulation) to understand it. In short PAL modifies every second line of chroma signal to correct phase error that can occur during transmission. So PAL receivers don't need hue control. There are also differences in timing - every european system (also BW) is 25fps, american 30fps. European PAL use 50Hz for vertical scanning, 15625Hz for horizontal scanning and 4,43MHz for PAL color subcarrier.

@mandolinic

JacobTHESitton Following on from the excellent answer by xsc1000: In practice the NTSC system suffered from an issue where phase shifts in the transmission chain caused colour errors on the screen. The PAL system developers designed this problem out of their system by inverting the phase of the colour signal on every other line, with the colour burst at the start of the line telling the monitor what was the reference phase for that line. This is a relatively minor change, but it meant that a colour error on one line was compensated by a colour error in the opposite direction on the following line! When integrated by the viewer's eye, the errors cancelled out and the overall colour was more stable. As TVs were developed over time, they included a one line delay which meant that errors could be compensated by electronics within the set, rather than by eye. One minor detail that gets overlooked is that with NTSC, bright parts of the image are transmitted with a high amplitude signal, and dark parts with a low amplitude signal. This is reversed in PAL. This meant that when an unsuppressed motor bike went past your house, instead of creating white spots on the screen, it created less visually intrusive black spots.

The CCDs quickly replaced the iconoscopes in the 1970s. Iconoscopes were huge devices and to use 3 of them just to have color on TVs was not very feasible... That's why when CCDs appeared color TV became more viable. Sure it was possible to make color TV with 3 iconoscopes but then the cameras would become humongous, seriously they were already quite large and expensive with just 1 iconoscope... So yeah CCD chips made color TVs economically viable pretty much.. And specially when it became possible to have all 3 colors on a single CCD chip. Nowadays we have CCDs and CMOS chips.

? they have been using tubes for quite a long time ccd came into vogue somewhere around the mid 80's. I guess somewhere around '83 for studio work and late 80's for ENG field work. Which was not really possible before anyway. They used 16mm film for field 'news' work before that. I still prefer 3ccd rendition for color (colour lol) over bayer but that's just my personal pet peeve.

The size of tube studio camera's was not really an issue (I guess) the tubes are pretty small too, What was an issue is thermal expansion so the thing has to be re-alligned once in a while and afterglow effects which are very visible on 70's recordings when there are disco lights involved. I guess sensitivity is an issue too although this is all guesswork on my part I was never a camera operator it's just what I remember from TV. And I guess the ENG thing is more of a matter of the betacam recorder then the tube versus ccd thing but what do I know. It's possible a field three tube camera uses a lot more power so that's an issue. Although at some point I did have a philips consumer camera from the mid 80's that had a single tube that did colour. It used a filter screen with vertical stripes like yellow/white/cyan so the electronics could get colour out of it. It didn't suck that much power but recorder was not included. I fiddled around endlessly with the little pots inside to get a nice picture and eventually gave up it was not that bad though a bit insensitive. Insensitive in terms of when you point it outdoors at night only the lamps would show up.. I case anyone is wondering the camera used the different amplitudes coming from the tube to syncronize the colour circuitry. so the white/transparent bits gave the highest amplitude and so the electronics 'knows' how to lock-in and decode the colour.

Umm, RCA, Phillips, Bosch and others made color TV cameras using 1” or 11/4” tubes, tube sizes dropped to 2/3” and even 1/2”tubes before CCD’s took over. Tubes had several flaws, they had to get aligned and replaced. A new set of three tubes was around $10,000 in the mid 1980’s.

The lower(50 Hz) frame rate meant that the video was scanned through at the standard rate of 25fps(frames per second) but backward-compatibility is not the downfall that you make it out to be. It was necessary so that older monochrome sets could still be used. Basically the chroma subcarrier(be it PAL, NTSC or that abominable pile of shit, SECAM) was "piggy-backed" onto the video signal for colour sets to detect and decode while monochrome sets simply ignored it.

My third eye is open

It would have been more consistent to stay with camera tubes for color. Introducing CCDs when describing the basics of color TV was unnecessary and confusing. Otherwise quite a good video.

Along with CRT displays they were the last bastion of electrons flying around in an evacuated glass enclosure. When comparable CCDs' became cheap and expensive plumbicon tubes became even more expensive than they already were the choice was inevitable. Nevertheless, I still have lovely examples of old technology. In 2018: the price of a studio tv camera (head only - no lens) costs some £30-40,000. A nice new 3 - 4 bedroom home now costs around 10 times that give or take. In 1968: a new EMI2001 British made studio colour tv camera cost around £25,000 at a time when such a sum would buy six 3 bedroom houses. A new Rolls Royce, Silver Shadow was around £3500 (the price of six new Ford Cortinas). Technology is so cheap now that people tend to take it all for granted. Professional electronic engineers are now less valued in society than hairdressers. It is incredibly sad.

I believe the light charges the photographic plate to a certain level. It's a bit like seperated islands like a ccd. Anyway, there's a secondary plate that collects electrons (from the beam) that are scattered of the photograpic plate or rejected which has a relation to the charge that that 'pixel' had before the beam hit. It's something like that.

20th century technology was "old" but I think much more complex 🤣

It blows my mind how somebody came up with the idea of capturing & generating an image by just using a light beam,how ironic is that? Also it blows my mind how those colors are mixed together with the contrast signal for broadcasting in color athome.the only thing i know is that the gren signal is converted to a contrast signal to ansure compatibility with B&W tv's , to save bandwitch ,and preserve most of the colors ,when that contrast signal enters a color tv,that contrast signal will be converted back to green,while the red and blue colors getting decoded. Also if it is true that a camera tube NEVER could capture 1 entire frame atonce, then that will mean that any fast motion will cause a comb artifact or rolling shutter artifacts.
